[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 610623, member: 3305"] Yes I am curious to hear what the individual and family counselor's have to say to you today. Oh, I sure understand the blame game! Your difficult child is angry that he is where he is...Your husband has been named the "bad guy" now and it is ALL a smokescreen! The bottom line is that your son is an addict...and he will use, use, use. Use every excuse and every person to get what he wants. Sounds like right now he wants some revenge for being where he is. I am SO HAPPY to hear that you are seeing right through your difficult child's tactics. Many families do not survive the "blame game". I hope you will continue to back up husband and know that a hard line and consequences are NOT unloving. Our drug addict kids are MASTERS at pitting one parent against the other. I truly believe they want the enabler ALL TO THEMSELVES. It is just like my young difficult child telling me the other day that if "dad wasn't in the picture that "I" would be taking care of him". He know's who the weakest one in the family is to get to and use. It's all part of the drugs winning. They don't care if they destroy their mother in the process...as long as they get to keep using. Lean on your husband. Pray with him if you do that sort of thing. You do not need to defend yourself. Your difficult child has left you all with no choice than for him to be exactly where he is now. You are doing all you can for him. The rest is up to him. I care about you. hugs, LMS [/QUOTE]
