[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 523555, member: 59"] Janet, I guess that is one of the reasons we have this forum, so that those of us who live with addiction have somewhere to go to voice our fears and hurts and loss and find support and sometimes ever find solutions or programs to help our addicts and in turn ourselves. Or sometimes it is just to find a sympathetic ear that will listen as we voice our thoughts and allow us to come to terms ourselves with what we should do, as TL did when she decided her difficult child's trip across America was crazy. It is a process, one that cannot happen just because someone tells us to detach and let our loved ones fall on their faces. If that's the way it was we wouldn't need al-anon or other family support groups. We would go on with our lives and not need this board. The same criticism of being too tied up in our difficult child's lives could be said on every forum on this board, why is this one immune from parents who would walk through fire to help their difficult child's?
