[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 517243"] I do wish we all lived closer so we coulld take you out and have a few laughs admist all the pain!!! I understand about the worry about her having a car but there is nothing you can do about it. You have done so much for her and it is up to her now.... and yeah she is spinning out of control and when that has happened before she has gotten into recovery so hopefully she will again and soon. And I think what we all learn in this process is how our difficult children con us..... that is one thing I have realized is that I have been conned over and over again by my difficult child. As my husband said yesterday over the phone as he was telling me a story about how difficult child worked the system where he is to get some cigarettes, he is a con man. And I think our difficult children who are also ODD.... conning is a game to them, what they can get away with, how they break more rules. So when she goes into recovery again (and I think she will) just be aware that she may still try to con you...even more so if she is relapsing... and be that much more wary.....and more careful with your heart and what you give her. At least that is where I am at. This may not be true of all drug addicts, but Nancy your difficult child and mine are so similar.... I really think even when they are sober we can't trust a word they say. They have been lying to us all their lives, even before the drugs. I am not sure they know how to do anything else. I am really seeing as my 16 year old easy child daughter gets older and more freedom what a difference trust makes. I don't think I can ever trust difficult child even if he gets and stays sober. Sorry for tangent but I am thinking about you today. TL [/QUOTE]
