[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 649136, member: 17461"] He could tell his ex that he is using "detachment parenting" for the daughter's own sake, and suggest that ex do the same ~ for daughter's own sake. You cannot control difficult one, either. No one can control, assist, change, or direct, an addict. Addiction is a terminal disease. The addict must stop using, or the downward spiral will not stop. I think it would it be helpful for you and your D H to attend an Al Anon meeting together, or a NAMI support group together. You two are not the only parents facing this situation. There will be strength for you in meeting and talking with other parents who are learning how to cope with something so painful, too. I am sorry this is happening. As you read with us here you will be surprised to find how similar the behaviors of addicted kids are ~ almost down to their vocabularies. Has the daughter been in treatment? Cedar [/QUOTE]
