[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 621875, member: 59"] You sound strong and I'm so glad you found someone to talk to, that is such a comfort. I agree with you on the therapist maybe not being a good fit. Don't spend too much time and money on someone who wants to try to tie everything back to your childhood. I have been to enough counselors for both myself and my difficult child to regret all the wasted time and money when what I really needed was to learn how to detach and what my difficult child needed to learn was how to find what was missing in her life to turn to substance abuse. A counselor experienced in addiction is important, maybe your alanon group has a suggestion. [/QUOTE]
