[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 86385"] Mikey, I think you misunderstood my post. I was suggesting she talk to someone more along Dancer's age...slightly older, maybe 17 or 18 who has been there done that...or have some information presented to her. I don't know if any of the groups for children/teens with family members with substance abuse issues have pamphlets that explain or bullet point what it's like to be the non-drugging child in the home. I was thinking more along the lines of a peer of Dancer's...someone closer in age to Dancer so wife could relate it back to your daughter. I understand that wife doesn't see McWeedy as an addict at this point in time. However, one does not have to be a full blown addict in order for his drugging behavior to have a profound effect on others within the family. I guess I'm thinking of how to help wife change her focus from 'saving' McWeedy from himself to protecting Dancer. If McWeedy does indeed move out in January, that problem will take care of itself. I'm thinking that if wife understands the effect this could possibly have on Dancer she may come to change her view on McWeedy leaving home. [/QUOTE]
