[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 485970, member: 59"] Kathy it's amazing what they fianlly realize about their own behavior when they are sober. When difficult child was using she would steal anything she could. Then when she went to the sober house and was clean she also had her ipod stolen and told me all addicts steal and now she knew what it felt like to have it happen to her. She often tells me things that show she is having insight into her old behavior. I hope it continues with your difficult child because it is that insight that will help her stay sober. She is thinking clearer now and can see how her own actions affected people. I am proud of you, you are being supportive and yet cautious. I always take what my difficult child says with a grain of salt, never knowing if she is saying it to be manipulative or if she really believes it. I want to hope she really means it. Nancy [/QUOTE]
