Seen many families torn apart from addiction. Seen many family members that enable the addicted never wanting to upset the "status que". It's very important for family members to speak up and take an active role in helping the addicted one reach their rock bottom. I've seen mothers who have sons addicted to drugs/alcohol only to "love them to death", because to them, they feel like they have failed. Addiction is hell and I know many of you on this board already know this so I understand I'm preaching to the choir. It is heartbreaking and frustrating to see how drugs/alcohol rip apart families and friends. Parents who have addicted teens that continue to feed, do laundry, give shelter and money to them and turn around and wonder what their doing wrong. It is co-dependency at its worse.
STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
