[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 658148, member: 1967"] With people that I don't know well, I just make a joke that Difficult Child is still finding herself and if she doesn't do it soon it is going to kill me. Then I laugh and change the subject. However, I found long ago that when I did share with someone that I had a daughter with substance abuse issues, almost every single one told me about a brother, sister, parent, or other loved one in their families that also had substance abuse issues. I believe that there are very few families that are not touched by this hideous disease. I also found that there were eager to have someone to talk with about these issues that would understand what their families are going through. I think there are a lot of people with these problems in their families that are suffering in silence. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
