[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 539574, member: 59"] In my case our difficult child was a difficult child long before she ever took her first drink or used her first drug. We knew there were problems when she was very young and throwing tantrums that were sustained for long periods of time and violent. It just escalated from there. As she got older the problems got bigger. It was no real suprise that she turned to substance abuse. I feel in her case it was in her genes and the substance abuse was just the natural progression of whatever dysfunction she was born with (it changed per doctor/psychiatrist). I believe there are those individuals who were fine until they began abusing a substance and then it took over them. in my humble opinion it is those individulas who have the best chance at being successful with treatment. I don't believe and kind of treatment will fix my difficult child. She will just turn one adiction into another. Nancy [/QUOTE]
