[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 719755, member: 19290"] I understand that what is unprecedented behavior on your daughter's part can also feel like a possible wake up call or rock bottom for her. And it might be. But it is also a red line for you. Those things are not mutually exclusive. It's not surprising that she is pulling out an extreme reaction now that you have set boundaries after so long. But they are reasonable boundaries no matter how far she has strayed from meeting them. Don't doubt that. You do not have to forgive or explain away this lashing out and violence for her to be able to make progress. It is the logical moment for things to change, at least for you. And that is enough. Even the user doesn't "deserve" the toll alcoholism takes. Surely, there's no reason in heaven or on earth for why three people should be destroyed. [/QUOTE]
