[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 597512, member: 15801"] LMS.....Hugs.... It has to be so frustrating to see young difficult child drinking again after everything he has been through. Hopefully he is serious enough about not drinking to get support not to.... not too many addicts can stop totally on their own. As far as easy child I am glad you reached out to her... you opened the door and although she didnt want to talk about it or did not acknowledge anything you let her know she can come to you.... and it opened up the conversation for her to let you know you need to back off. Once you back off she might decide to open up if she needs to. I have found that with my easy child daughter... when she wants me to back off I have to back off. If I dont then I make everything worse. However when I do she usually does at some point let me know what is going on. I think that transition from teen at home to young adult is a precarious one for all of us, even with a easy child. *TL [/QUOTE]
