[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677355, member: 19522"] Ohhhh, that may explain a lot. She may have PTSD, too. Pain pill addiction is BAD news. I saw a family go down the tubes with that one. Both parents had surgery and got completely hooked. The change we all saw was baffling. They even posted their woes and wars on Facebook, each of them claiming the other had the problem......the poor kids got lost in the maelstrom. I feel for our young soldiers. I spoke with a nurse, she started pouring her heart out to me, husband in the military, came back from a tour, completely changed, controlling funds, verbally abusive. She tried to work things out, and her family shunned her for it. They wanted her to leave him. She felt guilty, he served the country, they had four kids, so she was willing to try. It got to the point where it became unbearable for her. She is stuck in the same house with him while going through a divorce, she is trying to make her way back home. It is sad. She said the military has an 85% divorce rate, due to this kind of thing. Essentially, this girl you are writing of, divorced her family. Sad. Oh Swot, I had my moments, as we all do. There are times I remember that I wished I had done things differently. I wish I could get a "do over" on my worst, stupid mothering mistakes. We all make mistakes, and I am raising my hand up for that confession. That is what kept me in the guilt stage for a long time.......thank you, I do try to be kind, but know my kids have a tale or two to tell on Mom. It is okay, no one is perfect, and I did the best I could do. Thanks Serenity, I do hope my two will wake up. But I am damned sure I will not sit around waiting for it! (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
