My family has had similar stories Diana.
Not to mention here recently we had experienced a less than civil discussion regarding people close to me who know better.
It hurts so much thinking about it and I hate hearing others are experiencing the same things.
We are all human, I wish You, The Palins and I didn't share this similarity but apparently we do.
The realness can be quite sobering to see what everone goes through.
Adult children are difficult enough without throwing drugs and or substance abuse in the mix. Add that to the equation and it’s a loosing battle from the start. Best to play hardball from the get go when substance abuse is in the mix....three strikes your out....better even first strike.
