[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 511405, member: 1967"] When I took difficult child to the grocery store today, she left her purse laying on the floorboard of the passenger side. It occured to me to look in her purse and see if she had the xanax prescription refilled. If anyone is wondering why an addict would have a xanax prescription, you can ask her idiot psychiatrist that question. I asked difficult child why he would give an addict straight out of rehab and living in a halfway house a prescription for xanax, her reply was that he said "sometimes the risk is worth the gain." Anyway, I didn't look. I didn't want to know. Was that the ultimate in detachment or simply trying to bury my head in the sand? Honestly, I am at the point where I want her to get a job and be able to support herself without our involvement in her life at all. If she chooses to use xanax, I don't want to know because it just causes me pain. I really like the saying "don't dial pain." Did that apply here or did I just wimp out? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
