[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 68174, member: 2211"] Thanks ladies. I have to say, it helps to know that I'm not going crazy or being ruthlessly mean by thinking that my difficult child may actually full of you-know-what. on the other hand, maybe there is more to this than I realize. I think I will be able to tell if she's pulling our chains on Friday at the meeting. I hate the idea that she's putting herself into this position, like gottalovem said, where she is only 17 and will not be able or (supposed to not) drink alcohol FOREVER. Not that it's a horrible thing to go through life without a glass of wine, but I just don't see the 'out of controlness' of an alcoholic with difficult child. I get it, she's likely an episodic drinker and that hold credence with me since I grew up in a house of alcoholics....but I really am not seeing those kinds of alcoholic behaviors in difficult child. Now, she has a bad reaction to alcohol...in that the next day she's a bit of a bear and cranky, but who isn't when they've gotten less sleep and had one too many? Please don't interpet this to mean that I condone her drinking, I do not. I just think that perhaps the counselor is jumping the gun a bit and since I see difficult child MOST of the time and there is no evidence of drunkedness or even sneaky drinking, I don't see this as being an AA thing. I guess I will find out. Just really venting. I have no one to talk with this about at all. I spoke with a friend about it and she is more along the lines of "she's doing what all kids do at this age, let her alone" and I haven't even discussed it with H at all. Everytime I have the time, he's falling asleep. Ugh........................... I can't wait till her drama is HER drama and doesn't interfere in our lives as much or at all. [/QUOTE]
