[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 725451, member: 15032"] Welcome. Sorry you have to be here too but so glad we all have each other. I think accepting there is no answer for our difficult young adult's behavior is a huge step in the right direction. It took me many years to do this and I still struggle with it. Yes accepting that we will never understand is key. I refuse to be shamed anymore by what our son has done. Most families have skeletons in their closet and most people are touched by addiction in some way. The girl who does my hair's mother is an alcoholic. She is an only child. She has very limited contact with her mother due to this. I love my son and don't want to talk about him in a bad way although at times I am very angry. It has taken me a long time to feel this way. Of course he is in treatment now so it makes it easier but he has been in treatment many times. Trying to see it as a disease helps you have more compassion but of course we need to practice self-compassion also. [/QUOTE]
