[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 527295, member: 1967"] Nancy, I am not accepting the drug abuse. I am accepting that she is mentally ill and I now understand that she turns to drugs to feel better rather than to hurt us or because she thinks it is cool. That does not mean I think it is okay. I will do anything I can to help her stop drinking and using drugs and if she willing to accept help with the mood and anxiety disorder then we will be there to help her do that. If in the end, the treatment doesn't work she will have to learn how to live on her own the best way that she can. What I was trying to say is that I finally accept that she will never be able to snap out of this and be a easy child. Sig, my difficult child is about to turn 27. I think that there is a huge difference between where your difficult child and Nancy's difficult child are and where my difficult child is. At 20, I was still convinced that she would "outgrow" this phase and eventually turn into a easy child. I am now at the point that I just want her to have the best life she can have with her limitations. It will hopefully be drug free but I realize it is not something I can control. [/QUOTE]
