[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 515437, member: 59"] When my difficult child first went into rehab I was very angry. My anger was so close to the surface that I couldn't talk to her without being angry. I think a lot of parents are at that point and it takes a while for some of that anger to dissipate. It's one of the reason I did not go to the first parent meeting because I needed time for me to not be so raw. So I think where you are at is a very normal place. The key now is to make him responsible for working and you to back off. It's not easy, it was hard for me. I was also told to go to al-anon so that I coud learn how to let go of the anger. It does go away. You are doing a great job. Nancy [/QUOTE]
