That is a very good suggestion. My daughter went to rehab a little over a year ago, and I've discovered all sorts of things about her memories. There are things she has zero memory of or they sent me through the looking glass.
Most of it happened while she was wasted and she's said that. It took a while before she could say that to me but by then I didn't need to hear it. I read everything I could on it, talked to doctors, went to the family sessions at rehab, found a great therapist, started working the steps. I learned how to let it go and why it was the best thing I could do for ME. Her memories are hers to own and so are mine. We have different perspectives of the past, and even the present! based on our individual personalities and realities.
We shared the most important stuff at rehab, surrounded by other recovering addicts and therapists, counselors. Looking back, it was about establishing boundaries and respecting them.
