[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 270401, member: 84"] Mad as [B]h*ll[/B] is a good thing. It keeps the maternal instinct and guilt at bay and helps us to detach and let our difficult children learn from their choices. While it's incredibly hard to watch them make choices that are downright wrong, stupid, and destructive.........They are adults and there isn't anything we can do except support them and cheer them on when they do make good choices. As an addict, difficult child is going to use everyone he can. His drug of choice is the center of his universe, and getting it.....the only goal in his life. Until he gets enough consequences that it makes him rethink whether the drug is worth it.......not a whole lot you can do except pray. If you don't already, attending Al-anon would be very helpful. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
