[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 498521, member: 1967"] My younger daughter is very much a easy child who was shaped by what she saw happening with her older sister. She, too, is vehemently anti-drugs due to seeing her sister throw away college and opportunity after opportunity. easy child excelled in college and is now a first year high school math teacher, living on her own, and doing great. However, there are scars on the inside of any easy child who grew up in the turmoil of a sibling with addiction issues. My easy child hates confrontation after the years of fighting in our home (difficult child and us) and will do most anything to avoid it. I worry that she holds too much inside. You have to take care of yourself, too. This has been hard on you emotionally and physically. Finding a support group is crucial to your physical and mental health. I found mine here on the CD board and many find Al-anon or Families Anonymous to be helpful. Here is a link to help you learn our lingo: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/threads/board-abbreviations-acronyms.8/[/url] {{{Hugs}}} ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
