[QUOTE="DDD, post: 497937, member: 35"] I've read that their emotional growth gets stunted when they start using. Using allows them to escape and therefore they don't learn to roll with the blows like easy child's do. I've been on this road for ten years + with difficult child#1 and it still blows my mind. He is not a wimpy guy, in fact I would probably describe him as macho with a basically caring heart...but he avoids situations where he "might" be perceived as less than perfect. When he drinks (or smokes which I think is now unusal??) he feels whole. Sad. Fingers crossed that she rebounds. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
