[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 466638, member: 84"] Kathy, why would not visiting her one week make you a bad mother? (I think that one must've zipped over my head or something) difficult child does have a rather rotten attitude for someone trying to get clean and sober. If it were me, I wouldn't go back to visit her. I'd at least skip a visit. If her attitude didn't change, I'd skip until it adjusted. difficult child is 26, not 16. At some point you have [B]got[/B] to cut the line, which means no coming home.......she's an adult, she needs to figure it out. And yeah, she'll probably throw a tantrum because she expects you to cave in. If you've not done so already, you need to seek out a good al anon group and sit in on a couple of meetings a week. Because even if she makes it through the program, you're going to need the experience and knowledge they can give you. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and difficult child in my prayers that she works the program and is successful. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
