[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 508137, member: 13882"] Mama Raygun, Thanks for answering my question about peers. I was also wondering what you think of the "tough love" and "detachment" approaches most of us have such a hard time with? Based on your experience, did your turnaround have anything to do with your family holding on to their bottom line - or did it just evolve from your own insight? I feel like my son thinks we're mean, but we're actually doing what we can to correct him out of love, not mean-spiritedness. I don't know if people in active addiction see the distinction. [/QUOTE]
