[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 644852, member: 1967"] When my difficult child was in her three month residential program, they were told that addiction is progressive and that there are ultimately three possible outcomes: institution, prison, or death. Only they can choose to stop the progression by actively choosing recovery and sobriety. Unfortunately, I, too, have had to accept the fact that my difficult child's addiction will ultimately lead to her death if she doesn't choose recovery. So far, she never has truly wanted to get sober so her attempts at recovery have failed time and time again. Sadly, we are even at the point where we wish she would get arrested and go to prison since at least she would be fed, clothed, and drug free. How sad is that? The bottom line is that only the parents of someone with these issues can truly understand what you are going through. Please feel free to vent and express your true feelings to us. We understand and support you. {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
