[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 737624, member: 4040"] I'm no longer struggling with a difficult child, and our struggles at that time were not (thankfully) drug related, so my perspective is different than others. But we all have struggled, with our children, with ourselves, obsessively questioning our action and/or inaction, whether to medicate or not medicate, to ask our children to leave or allow them to stay, how much support or help or rehab will be needed this time to get our children back on track. I have been here nearly twenty years, off and on. People come and go. The issues change. Back in the day, it was mainly younger children with mental disabilities. Now, it's substance abuse by our adult children. No matter. This site was designed as a soft place to land for desperate parents. The Watercooler is a fun place, so we can get to know each other outside of our problems, because, ladies, we are more than our children's problems. We are more than that one dimension. I mainly respond to posts on Watercooler because that's where I am right now. Maybe there's been too many survey posts for some people's tastes, but there's no requirement to respond. Take what you need and leave the rest. [/QUOTE]
