[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 521034, member: 59"] Oh Kathy I'm really sorry (moving over on the couch to make room for Kathy). I have been at easy child's helping with school work all day and just got home and read this. Your heart must have sunk when the driector told you what's been going on. Her story sounds so much like what my difficult child did, down to the car crash and fleeing. Even if they aren't drinking at the moment their drinking/drugs causes them to have no concept of right or wrong. I would like to think that if my difficult child hit a car and she was living sober that she would do the right thing, but then maybe she wouldn't. Obviously your difficult child has been slipping for quite a while now. It is so like my difficult child, things start to go well for them and they self sabotage. I would be a little concerned that there may be some manipulation going on here. I think, and I may be wrong, if she had a place to go like her own apartment, you would never know about the relapse until something happened, like with us. But since she has nowhere to go she has to tell you what you want to hear. I hope I'm wrong and she really wants help, I just don't know where that help is going to come from for our difficult child's. The one good thing is that she is not in denial, at least she isn't telling you that she can drink and smoke in moderation like my difficult child is. Hugs, Nancy [/QUOTE]
