[QUOTE="DDD, post: 503052, member: 35"] Hoping that it is a friendship that benefits them both. As I read your post (and not trying to bring a "bummer" aspect to your post, lol) I found myself thinking about s.a. friends. difficult child's attract one another from the beginning of their using. They choose the less traveled road and their companions are by their side. Somehow it makes sense that if a big part of your life has been chaos (usually self induced) that you would be less likely to hook up with a easy child anytime soon. The s.a. experience includes bizarre choices that have become part of an often lengthly segment of difficult child's lives. Whether in recovery or not I think it is "normal" to seek companions with similar history. I know that our difficult child runs into his easy child former friends quite frequently. They shoot the breeze but almost never make plans to share an evening. He relaxes when he is around others with like histories becaue they "know" each other's weaknesses and there is no need for pretense. A few difficult child's isolate themselves and then redirect their lives. But I think isolation is not an easy task after years of being around excitement and a herd of friends. Ideally, I would think, that the best hope would be a difficult child couple sharing a life of recovery together. on the other hand I still hope a easy child will come along and a miracle will happen, lol. Kathy I think it is a positive sign that she is sharing with you. After years of misrepresentations and half truths that sounds like a big positive step. Fingers crossed. DDD [/QUOTE]
