[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 517130, member: 59"] Mattsmom, thank you and please thank SO. His post is exactly what I needed to hear tonight as we made the final break with difficult child because she has decided she does not want to be sober and in fact is convinced she is not an alcoholic. She is drinking and smoking pot 24/7 and claims it isn't causing her any problems. I will not have any contact with her nor will I include her in any family events. I refuse to ignore the elephant in the middle of the room, as we did for so many years with my father. If I do come in contact with her I will call her on her denial each and every time. husband told her today that she was headed for disaster and we would no longer enable her in any way. My heart is breaking and I will miss her but I see no other way. I cannot allow her to think we think this is ok. Please tell SO that it helps so much to hear his perspective so many years later. There was a time this past year when difficult child was sober when she told us she realizes how horrible she was to us. Today she thinks we are horrible to her. And so goes the disease of addiction.
