[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 459800, member: 3305"] Dear DDD, Have been thinking so much about you and easy child/difficult child since reading of this latest chapter yesterday afternoon. Have also said multiple prayers for your easy child/difficult child. My aunt told me not long ago that all you have to do is pray the word "help"...and so that is what I have done. As you know I am way too familiar with addictions and all it's ugliness...the thievery, lies, and destructive behavior. I understand your easy child/difficult child's "internalized pain" from abandonment issues relating to his bio dad as well. But I also firmly believe that every addict regardless of the best or worst foundations from family will find a reason to use and abuse...any pain will do. But loss is a biggy and I do understand your easy child/difficult child's losses particularly early on from his baseball sports and positive influences from the time period. I do so hope the addiction counselor works out for yours. I keep preaching AA to my young difficult child and he is not ready for the help yet again. So apparently mine hasn't "hit bottom" yet...it is so distressing. I have one (easy child) when you google her first and last name you get this lovely "bio" from her college regarding her bowling league avg. and names of her parents and brothers and what she is studying at college etc. When you google my young difficult child's first and last name...Sigh...you get a mugshot of young difficult child for "reckless child endangerment". What a contrast...and the come from the same set of parents in a relatively stable environment with the best that we could offer throughout their lives...and yet, here we are scratching our heads...while at the same time knowing that addiction doesn't care how much good you've thrown at the problem. The individual has to really come to grips with the fact that they are addicts/alcoholics in need of outside help/intervention before things can turn around. I will continue to keep you, husband and easy child/difficult child in my thoughts and prayers. I will continue to ask G-d to "help" you all. With love and care and hopes for recovery. LMS [/QUOTE]
