[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 629805, member: 17542"] TL hang on to the idea that if he ever gets into recovery, many/all of the behaviors you describe may disappear. I have heard that many times from others--addiction is defined by these very unlikeable qualities all by itself. I don't believe difficult child really has more than anxiety and depression and those see one reason he self medicates but it is impossible to know until he gets clean. People who don't understand addiction always focus solely on using. The thinking and the behavior are equally as sick and that is the focus of recovery---to teach them how to deal with life on life's term. That is why just stopping the using usually does not result in a well adjusted loving and giving person. warm hugs for you today. Have a good day. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
