[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 597633, member: 1721"] Thank you, MWM. :O) We are all so amazing, so amazingly strong and responsible and committed to putting things right, somehow. I am so happy to hear that something I've shared has helped one of us. We are good people. We will make it through this. Regarding the piece that I've quoted from your posting, MWM? You are so right. difficult child [B]is[/B] spurning the values she was raised with. When difficult child son was addicted, he was doing that, too. I never thought of it that way, before. Oh, I could tell difficult child son that he had been raised to know better. But somehow, I never got that he was (or that difficult child daughter is, now) [I]spurning[/I] the values we'd instilled. There is just something so descriptive about that word, spurning. That is the truth of it; the true thing at the root of what has happened, to all of us. Spurn: to reject with disdain; treat with contempt; scorn; despise. Barbara [/QUOTE]
