[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 167524, member: 3485"] Hello! Good to see you again. Sorry about your father, but congratulations on the marriage (I remember when you left on your honeymoon). Our difficult child says the same about NA. Two or three years ago, when she was attending NA meetings and then stopped, she said that most of the people there were only attending to satisfy some family or legal requirement and were using the meetings to network for later when they could start using again. As it turned out, that was precisely what she herself was doing. So Aunt may have a point, what with your difficult child being in a new place where she doesn't have connections. A year ago May when our difficult child came home from her last treatment, she attended strictly AA, because she said that more AA people really were trying to live sober than NA. (by the way, our difficult child started using again last month and we decided that she had to leave our home permanently. She is now living with a girlfriend and struggling to pull it back together again, with mixed results.) Do you and your husband consider difficult child's son as yours together? That may be kinda nosy, but I ask because your current situation seems a lot like where wife and I are at. We never had a biological child of our own together, but difficult child's child has been with us since birth and is now, for all intents and purposes, "our" child and a special bond between us. When difficult child is out of control she tells people that we took her baby from her, although she knows that in reality she abdicated her place as mother. [/QUOTE]
