[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 335036, member: 1157"] Honestly, I wouldn't bother challenging her on her lies, or her drug use. It isn't likely to end the way you want it to ... with a confession, apology, and promise to change. It's more likely to end in arguments and denial, as you have already experienced. It's just not worth the emotional energy, in my opinion. I've learned to simply not discuss certain things, to nod and smile when the lies start coming, and to practice the responses you can find in the archives here: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=685[/url] Have you looked into Al-Anon or Nar-Anon in you area? They're both great resources in practicing those detachment skills and getting great support for yourself, not to mention getting real-life hugs. For now, consider yourself cyber-hugged :) [/QUOTE]
