[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 47292, member: 3647"] Barbara, your words are so effective. I still feel shame from time to time. I was on both sides of the coin. I struggled with drug addiction through most of difficult child 1's life. The guilt of not being there for her has sometimes been crippling. Then, right about the time I got clean, she went from easy child to difficult child. Imagine her rebellion when suddenly I was capable of acting like a parent. Then she turned 18. Yeah, I let that pony ride. Hopefully, I will not make the same mistakes with difficult child 2. Thanks for sharing that, Barbara. [/QUOTE]
