[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 534110"] Hugs Nancy. It is so very discouraging. Our difficult children are so much alike!! I think I am coming to the realization that part of my difficult children illness is just this need to self destruct. I really think he hates himself and feels so worthless that he has this inner drive to punish himself..... and so he does these incredible acts of sabatoging any help he gets. So on the one hand he wants help but when he starts to get it he screws it up in some major way and he has no real understanding of why he does that. Until he can get help with that underlying issue I don't think he can possibly stay clean. I suspect that something similar is going on with your difficult child. I do think illnesses of the mind are different than physical diseases and it is hard in many ways to compare the two. TL [/QUOTE]
