[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 525365"] I see people who do get into recovery and stay sober.... and it does give me hope in general. One thing I have a hard time though is people who try to comfort you by saying "Oh I know he will get there, he will figure it out" or some such thing. Because as much as there is hope there are also plenty of people who don't make it.... there is just no way of knowing which it will be for our difficult children. So those people who say that are not being realistic and it feels like empty hope to me. I feel like for my own mental health I need to be realistic and know difficult child might not make it but at the same time I have to hope that somehow some way he will. There is just no guarantee.
