[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 579549, member: 59"] With my difficult child I always thought rock bottom was whatever level she was at that was finally intollerable and caused her enough pain to want things to change. She hit that bottom a couple times but could she go lower, oh yes!!! So it wasn't her rock bottom and how does anyone know what rock bottom is, isn't it death? I believe one only has to see their life is so bad that they have the motivation to want to get better. I also am so glad I always kept the lines of communication open with my difficult child. Even when she was out of the house living in a drug basement we were there if and when she called or texted. She knew that and she says now she knows we have always been there for her. Her fb status yesterday of [I]"I'm so thankful for my mom. She's always been there for me and helped me with any and every problem I've ever had. I don't know what I'd do without her. Love you mom ♥"[/I]tells me that in her heart she knows that. We won't enable her in her drinking or using but we will help her when she shows she is helping herself. [/QUOTE]
