[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 643031, member: 1967"] We had a wonderful time in New Orleans with easy child and then a quiet Christmas Eve and day with her when we got home. Yesterday morning we headed down to Florida to see difficult child. When we were close, I called her and she was slurring her words. She, of course, denied she was drinking and suggested that since we had gotten in later than we expected we could just go to our friend's house and see her the next morning which was fine with me. We picked her up from her halfway house and took her out for lunch and then went to see a movie. She said she wasn't feeling well after the movie so we asked her if she wanted us to take her back to the halfway house and she said yes so we did. I guess I have finally gotten to the place of radical acceptance because I am not upset. We had a nice time when we were with her and if she is still drinking that is something I can't change and I am willing to let her live with the consequences. So we will see her again tomorrow and then we go back to our lives and she can live the life she has chosen. Nancy, I hate to hear that your difficult child 's boyfriend has turned out to be a jerk. I hope she gets the strength to leave him. She has come so far. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
