[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 564410, member: 1967"] My difficult child was a easy child until the end of eighth grade. I believe that is when the mental illness manifested and led her down the path to substance abuse as a way to self-medicate. As time went by, she became a full-fledged alcoholic which I believe was partly due to a genetic disposition. The cards were stacked against her from the day she was born. When we were in a counseling session when difficult child was 16, husband made the comment that he thought she was just like his brother who was a bi-polar alcoholic. I didn't believe it at the time but he was right on the money. So I would say my daughter was a difficult child first and an alcoholic/addict later. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
