[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 419183, member: 1233"] Sending lots of hugs. I am sorry that difficult child blew up on you. It is pretty typical addict behavior to go on the attack when the family finds out even a hint of what is really going on. Keep going to alanon/marcanon meetings and posting here. It is hard to let them handle things, but you are doing a great job. As for why the girlfriend's mom is willing to do all of that? She doesn't ahve a clue. Or her daughter is a difficult child also and it is a way to keep ehr daughter from running. it may even be a sick way to keep tabs on her difficult child daughter if her daughter also has a drug problem. on the other hand, I have met women who push their daughter's into boyfriend's and even sex with boyfriend's. It seems to be a way to convince their kids that they are the "cool" parents and to upset the other parent if the other parent has expressed opposition to the boyfriend, the relationship, drugs involved, etc.... (((((((((((hugs)))))))))) If it is ANY consolation, at age 17 my gfgbro convinced my mother that the reason he spent quite a few hours passed out on the concrete sidewalk going to the back door was NOT because he was drunk and stoned out of his mind (clear fromt he stench of pot, booze etc.. all over him) but was because he was enormously depressed because our mom and I were dealing with some pretty major health problems. Yes, he convinced her that he was just tired and exhausted because he had been up all night for several nights worrying about our health. They are incredibly good at fooling people into believing the most incredibly far fetched reasons, explanations and justifications for their actions. Likely the girlfriend's mom is also raising a difficult child and is overwhelmed the way many of us are. [/QUOTE]
