[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 547073, member: 1967"] Dash, I remember being shocked to find a large amount of empty beer cans in my difficult child's room. They were hidden under the bed, in closets, and the laundry blanket. It meant that she was in her room drinking alone at night. Looking back, I realize now that she was in a deep depression and using alcohol to make herself feel better. She was also abusing xanax and ambien at the same time. It was a miracle that she didn't die. I see from your signature that your difficult child has a possible diagnosis of depression or bipolar. Was that ever confirmed? Is she seeing a psychiatrist? My difficult child is no longer drinking (as far as I know). I think it is a combination of age (she got tired of watching her friends move on with their lives while she gets nowhere) and the DBT program that she is in. As I read your post I kept seeing my difficult child at that age. by the way, we no longer keep any alcohol in the house. It is just not worth the risk to me. husband misses his beer but he just drinks it when we eat out now. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
