[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 564852, member: 13542"] PG, first of all many gentle hugs coming your way..................I hope you can find some peace in all the chaos. It sounds as if difficult child's guilt over using has prompted her, in her delusional thinking, to amp up the drama to get the focus off of using and onto getting you in a place where you feel sorry for her rather then angry at her...........considering shame often has much to do with addiction, it may have helped get this to the level it has gotten to.............my understanding is that with longer periods of sobriety, substance abusers are more on the road to recovery, even after relapsing and she has some sobriety under her belt...........add in the muddled thinking when using, shame, guilt, remorse, knowing you are disappointed in her, her youth...............and in some altered way of thinking, this all makes sense. Perhaps telling her you forgive her and how much you love her, regardless of her actions is what she needs to hear now..............Just a thought.................HUGS................. [/QUOTE]
