[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 504417, member: 27"] Nancy, Ughhh. That was my heart dropping a bit reading this. difficult child sounded like she was ready and on the right path. That's not to say that she's not, but if she truly thinks she can drink once in a while or smoke pot one in a while and everything will be fine, well, as we all know too well, it's not. It's like when my son first came home from the residential program free from drugs. He overcame so much, and yet, little by little, he started drinking. Sure, at first a few beers here and there seemed harmless enough, until it led to drinking straight vodka and needing to or he would be sick. His system craved it and he needed to be detoxed for the dt's. It was not pleasant, that's for sure. Unfortunately, it is one of those things that she will hopefully realize before sliding too far down the slippery slope. I think pulling back a bit sounds like a good decision for you and your husband and easy child. Hopefully difficult child will realize that she can't and won't go down that road again. Hugs to you and yours, Deb [/QUOTE]
