[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 750977, member: 23405"] I guess we can’t really know this for sure but if your daughter is addicted to alcohol and pills could she be speaking to you under the influence? I spent many years living with an alcoholic scratching my head trying to rationalize statements that made no sense. I did this over and over again most of the time it was when I was in denial about his drinking and sometimes when he told me he wasn’t and I believed him (still denial). We get lost in what’s real and what’s not. We try to understand and make logic of their speech and thought process when in fact they probably couldn’t explain what they meant either. As someone mentioned we don’t have the full picture here but something that resonates with me from reading your post in my experience is that addicts create a crisis (big or small) to divert the attention away from themselves so you won’t question their behavior/alcohol/drug use. Her last comment to you seems like that diversion. Keep posting and when your ready share more. It will bring you healing. [/QUOTE]
