[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 48284, member: 1967"] This is almost funny. Unfortunately, the formerly easy child child of close family friends has developed a big problem with binge drinking. There were some issues in high school but the parents sought counseling and thought that was all behind them. Then the daughter went off to live at college this year and fell apart. She was caught three times as a MIP (minor in possession) and got a DUI and lost her license. Her parents withdrew her from school after the last MIP. So she is now living at home, working, and in a rehab program that includes AA meetings. I am praying that this works. She is an absolutely beautiful girl with everything going for her. Anyway, I was relating all of this to my difficult child (she and this girl grew up as "honorary" cousins). difficult child had already heard about some of it from the girl herself but hadn't heard about being withdrawn from school and losing her license. So difficult child said to me, "Aren't you proud of me? I never got kicked out of school or got in trouble with the law because of my drinking." Yes, difficult child, I'm so proud that you managed somehow to avoid getting arrested for smoking pot and underage drinking and that you dropped out of college three times rather than getting kicked out. Makes a mother proud. [img]:smile:[/img] ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
