[QUOTE="KFld, post: 93762, member: 2442"] I spoke with her many times today. I was in N.Y. with friends seeing a broadway play, had a great day, but she was on my mind constantly. She called me at one point sobbing because she called her ex and told him about their sons addiction and her son was very angry and told her he would never trust her again. She wanted to know if difficult child had ever said these things to me and did he mean them or would he really never trust her again. I assured her that once he's ready to get help, he will appreciate what she has done and will trust her again, but that she is at the beginning of a long process. She has been there for me since day one of my difficult child's addiction and she has learned a lot from the experience that she feels she can use herself now. I think it kind of puts her one step ahead because she knows what worked for me and my difficult child and what didn't. I know it doesn't make it any easier for her, but it does help her to know that I truley know exactly what she is going through. I thought of inviting her here, but I was wondering, has anyone here invited a close friend like this to join this forum. I know her and I tell each other everything, but I kind of feel like this is my private place that nobody else I know can come too and I'm not sure if I'm ready to give that up. Nobody else here really knows who I am outside of this board and I kind of like it that way. Is this selfish of me??? [/QUOTE]
