[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 500923, member: 1967"] I'm sorry, TL. As I mentioned before, our visit to our difficult child was miserable and we didn't go back the rest of the time she was in rehab. Her halfway house is a 45 minute drive away and we usually meet her once a week to buy her groceries. The nice thing is that if she is ugly to us we can leave and just go home. However, I have to say she has usually been very nice and grateful for what we do for her. I think your difficult child is still in the very early stages of recovery. He is still mad at the world and doesn't want to face what got him to this point. Hopefully, the more time he spends in treatment the more he will stop blaming others and take ownership of why he is there. If it helps, I couldn't stand my difficult child for a long time. Why would you like someone who curses at you, lies to you, steals from you, and acts like they hate you and that everything is your fault? I guess it is love, though, that makes it easy to forgive all of that when they start to show signs of recovery and turn into the person that you knew was inside all along. Stay strong. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
