[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 589129, member: 13558"] Peg, There were many times I was happy to find my difficult child was in jail JUST to know where he was and he was not using, or hopefully not. From my experiences the young difficult children are treated well. Of course, being a difficult child, they can be mouthy. I'm sure my difficult child has some mental problems that were never diagnosed and I have tried to get him to seek help, he won't do it and he lies so much about everthing, so I just stopped. Mine is almost 35yo and I am still going through the difficult child dance. Mine was conning me for money and I fell for it for about 4 months. It really ticked me off this time. He actually went NC with me, but I can't continue a realtionship with him until he receives help. To add to the confusion and drama he has been in a dangerous relationship for about 3 years. She is a very bad partner for him, they are bad enough alone, add them together and it is truly double trouble. Mine was clean and sober for over a year, now he is worse than ever. Only a parent having a child like this can understnd the heartache. Learn to detach, meditate, and find counseling and support. I can honestly tell you that all of the money, worry, and trying to help did not help at all. They have to learn to take care of themselves, and they always choose the path that we do not understand. At least I don't anyway! I never give up hope for my difficult child's future, I just put the problem where it belongs, in his lap. Step back and let it play out, he is an adult.
