[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 740544, member: 23349"] And he may! N did. There is always hope. I think it comes down to how deep are the underlying issues, and did they start before or after the drugs? C and S were both troubled little kids. They’ve struggled since day 1, as far as I can tell. But for a lot of people, the drugs or the alcohol ARE the primary problem. This is where I struggle too. Because if they are mentally ill, it’s not their ‘fault’ and it may be entirely out of their control. So where does that leave our responsibility? I struggle, too. But i think it comes down to them wanting to get better, and being willing to work towards it. If they won’t do that, I do t think there is much we can do. We can’t do it for them. [/QUOTE]
