[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 538784, member: 14557"] Malika, this is something I have been mulling over. After difficult child got caught gambling and stealing, it was, in some very odd way, almost comforting to me. Finally there was a clear cut problem that had a clear cut solution. He is an addict, he needs to stop addictive behaviour and recover from addiction. Of course that is not easy in any way. But at least it was a solution. But I'm afraid that the truth is that my difficult child was troubled boy before he first time saw a internet poker site and he is still troubled boy even while in good recovery from his addiction. And that scares me, because I can so easily see him always finding new ways to mess up. Often you read about the mothers who tell how drugs or alcohol took away her perfect child, who changed to someone she can not even recognize. Not so for me. I never had that perfect child (well in difficult child anyway) and even when his addiction was active, his behaviour wasn't 'just an addiction talking and making choices.' [/QUOTE]
