[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 682655, member: 17542"] First of all, I love you people (chickie-boom). Difficult Child drank and did pills and who knows what else (I am sure other stuff but not specifically what stuff). Today, he has been scared straight (mostly). I just hope it lasts. They can quit it all, and who would ever have thought the path would be fear of prison and then Hep C for Difficult Child? He is still smoking cigarettes and until the Hep C diagnosis was "drinking about a six-pack of beer a week" according to him. We have a long long history of addiction in our family (my grandmother to injectable Demerol), my great uncle was nuts and also drank and abused women, my brother is an alcoholic, Difficult Child's dad is a recovering alcoholic, Difficult Child's paternal granddad was a raving lunatic, sociopath (I don't use that word lightly) and an alcoholic, his paternal aunt has a long history of mental illness....should I go on? We can't do a single thing about this stuff except work on US. Lil and Jabber you two have come light years since you came here. And your Difficult Child IS doing better. You change, he has a chance to change. Here's hoping he goes to work and keeps going to work and the roommate gets a freakin' job. Hugs today. [/QUOTE]
