[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 737660, member: 19522"] Hi TL, so sorry for this recent setback. It is hard when we wish to be close to someone, our own adult children, and they are distant. I do not see my two very often, when I do, I am glad to know they are alive, but awkward doesn't even begin to define the few moments. I am so sorry for your heartache. That is exactly my thought. It is what I have read up on "dry addiction", although a person may not be using, they have the same traits. A big old serving of "It is what it is." Still doesn't make it any easier, but it is a reminder on the work cut out for us on the journey. Hope with no expectations. Staying off the rollercoaster lives they live, finding our own peace, within ourselves. No matter come what may. I try to borrow the logic of my well children, who have learned to shrug it off and say "This does not surprise me.", or "TYPICAL!" It still stings. Circling the wagons TL. You have got this. (((HUGS)) Leafy [/QUOTE]
