[QUOTE="KFld, post: 78821, member: 2442"] I bell my bestfriend everything, remember she's Lucy and I'm Ethel. She has two sons and one shares some of the same issues my difficult child does or used to, so she can usually understand where I am coming from. In the end though, we all have to be careful not to burn our friends out with our difficult child issues. When my son was in his full blown heroin useing mode, it was all I could think about and all I could talk about at times. My boyfriend was always there too listen, but I know her well enough to sense when she had heard enough for awhile and needed a change in topic of conversation. We are also good enough friends that sometimes she would just give me a little hint. I am very fortunate to have her. I know I have done the same for her in the past. I do know I have other friends though who aren't as tolerant and don't want to hear about my woe's all the time, so I tell them bits and pieces here and there and move onto the next topic. Then I always come here!!! [/QUOTE]
