[QUOTE="louise2350, post: 753832, member: 24632"] My disconnected daughter has a drinking problem of that I know, but as far as drugs go- I know she did use them now and then in her teens. As far as the present goes, I don't know if she uses drugs - I hope not - her drinking is bad enough. When she lived with me, I never saw any violence in her towards us, thank God. She'd come home drunk and actually a few times tried to hurt herself - once she had a knife in her hand and tried to stab herself with my 9 year old daughter standing there and seeing this. I immediately jumped in and grabbed the knife from her hand. She had no memory of it when she got sober. My youngest would go around the house and hide all of our knives after that incident. When I replay that memory back in my mind, I realize this daughter could've stabbed me accidentally as I went and grabbed the knife from her. Who knows how this all could've turned out. I believe God was watching over us at the time. However, like I mentioned before I didn't see any violence in her only cruel, mean things she'd say to push my buttons. I just believe each person is different . Some children who were abused will never even spank their kids and others will repeat the abuse they had growing up. Hope things are getting better for you in your difficult situation. [/QUOTE]
