[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 41408, member: 3647"] Hi dlgallant, and welcome. Sorry you had to find us, but you have found a soft place to land. Here is my opinion and advice, coming from a recovering drug addict. She got some attention, liked it, and is now craving it. That is why she is doing what she is doing. I can't think of any other reason why she would pretend to be something she is not. The best thing you can do is ignore it. Really. If she is only doing it for attention, and she is not GETTING that attention, then she has no reason to do it. Unfortunately, if she is using, you are absolutely powerless in making her get help. She will get help if and when she decides to. The very best thing you can do for yourself is check out Al-Anon. You need to take care of yourself even if she is not taking care of herself. To put your mind at ease, it is possible for someone who uses drugs to turn things around and live a normal life. However, it is up to them. Them and God. Hang in there. Gentle hugs and prayers your way. [/QUOTE]
