[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 505810, member: 1967"] Sig, I do understand what you are feeling and it does get easier. I think of it like the stages of grief (and we are grieving for the loss of the child we knew and hoped they would be). Eventually, you get to acceptance that you can't change it and you go on with your life and the daily ache is not there. That's not to say you will ever forget or stop hoping that your child gets better and becomes the person that you know they could be without using drugs/alcohol. It just stops being the focus of your life and becomes a peripheral sadness. I hope I made sense. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
