[QUOTE="HereWeGoAgain, post: 25832, member: 3485"] This weekend was not so encouraging. She has been lying around doing nothing but eating for two days (not purging, though, at least). Should physical after-effects of addiction, specifically extreme lethargy, be this intense this long (17 days)? She bestirred herself to run a couple of loads of laundry and seemed to think that that was some kind of superhuman effort. Her attitude has been very negative the past couple of days too. Zero attempt to find a meeting to go to. And then this afternoon, wife and I were downloading and playing some tunes, stuff that difficult child used to like along with us, and her mom asked her how'd she like the music? "Made me want heroin", says difficult child, bringing everyone right down (gr.daughter was on an outing with a friend, so did not witness this little scene, fortunately). Why say something like that except to feed her self-pity and make everything "all about her" and her problem? She's such a drag about everyday ordinary life, can't enjoy anything, won't play with her daughter; but other times gets almost giddy talking about things she did while on the street, using street slang and trying to shock us (pretty hard to do, any more), like she's proud of how messed up she is.
