[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 498559, member: 27"] Kathy, I doubt there is one of us here on the board that hasn't wished they could take something they've said back as soon as it was out of their mouths - myself included. Our difficult child's have put us through so much, particularly those with substance abuse, that at times it's hard not to say something. The fact that your daughter said what she did definitely shows growth, and as Nancy pointed out, sobriety. Without their brains floating in alcohol or drugs, they actually do see the world through different eyes. Our son stole so much from us during his 6 week crack cocaine spiral into the depths. It's hard for me not to bring it up, though every counselor always tell you that you can't go backward; only forward. I know that, and yet, it's hard sometimes not to bring it up. It's so great to hear your daughter is making progress. Giant steps forward. Yay ! Hugs, Deb [/QUOTE]
