[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 86260, member: 1233"] Mikey, I understand how lonely it feels to be the one who "over-exaggerates" and is "hysterical and unrealistic" about the problems. I was this person when my bro used alcohol and drugs in high school. I was still this person when he he used htem in college. I was the person who did all this when he was a married dry drunk with major anger problems. 2 years later we were mending our relationship. 3 yrs later he still thinks I should not have reported him to CPS. But I know, and my husband knows, and finally my other relatives know that he would not have gotten help if I didn't. My extended family thought I was this hysterical person when I said my difficult child has serious issues. That it was not just a phase, or just boys being boys. I faced this with my husband when difficult child was a toddler. Then he got on board, as much as he could. Extended family was horrified when we took difficult child to a pshosp for a 4 month stay. Only partway through the stay did they finally see what horrible things he had been doing. Stay strong, go to NA meetings, al-anon meetings, and whatever else is helpful. You know the truth. I am so sorry you are in this position, it is never fun or easy. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
