Wow, aries2756, Imma613, I was referring to a different situation as I keep saying over and over again. Syag Lchochma was nice enough to point out that the information I had was off– It was off because I was talking about someone else, someone who btw does not drink, smoke, or do drugs BH. so yes, while there may be some similarities there are also differences you just need to pay attention to it. aries2756 said, sometimes you need to take a step back and look at things from a different perspective which is exactly what I was hoping Wow would do but she couldnt get it past her that there are others who are going through the same thing as she is and that she is not the only one in this situation:( Her dismissive attitude made me wonder if this is how her son felt when he came to her with a problem. I am not blaming Wow for anything right now, I am simply explaining my view on this situation.

Aries2756, I completely agree with you which is why I said that wow should find a therapist to help her deal with the pain she is in… (and along the same lines, a mother should not diagnose her own child especially a child who does not openly communicate with the mother)
And Wow, aries2756, imma613, and everyone else– yes, you have to dig a little deeper (even if it hurts) in order to fix the problem instead of just putting a band aid on it…
