[QUOTE="wantpeace, post: 521496, member: 14002"] So sorry, Kathy. I don't feel like I'm in a position to give a lot of advice yet, but I sure can relate to the cancer analogy. Our difficult children are suffering from diseases and they are our children on top of that. It's the most unnatural thing to step asside and let them suffer alone. Right now it sounds like your difficult child is being cooperative and appreciative of your help. I wouldn't be able to throw her out at this point either. If, however, she starts using again and being disrespectful in your home, you will have a much easier time going back to tough love. I wish we all had the right answers. You sound like a very intelligent lady. If you're like me, the teacher in us wants to "fix" everything. Just take some deep breaths and try to relax. Right now I wouldn't look too far into the future. The "one day at a time" motto is a good one! Take care of yourself and don't let difficult child's problems make you sick. Hugs, wantpeace [/QUOTE]
