[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 678236, member: 18516"] ((HUGS)) to you Rosie, I'm so sorry for your heartache and I don't blame you for being angry. Our d_cs are so good at "priming" the scene. The crying, the wanting her old life back, the threat of killing herself, the need for support from her family, then puts her hand out wanting it to be filled with money. I have no doubt that she is tired of living the way she is living. I truly do not believe that our d_cs enjoy the way they live. I think when they are high on drugs or drinking they enjoy the "moment" they are in but when they come down off the high they hate it. The problem is they have to hate it enough and put forth the effort to change. I feel bad for your son. It's so hard for a younger sibling to understand the depth of the problem. You ask how you stay strong for your family. You keep your boundaries firm. You love your daughter and support her with just that, love. We all know that throwing money at the problem doesn't resolve anything, it only drains our bank accounts. Make it clear to your son that we can love someone but not like their behavior. :staystrong: [/QUOTE]
