Manipulation is whenever you are second guessing as to wether it is or not, everyone is capable of manipulation or not and many peope do it on a daily basis to get what they want..its human nature, but the moment of clarity is the addict uses it for eveything, that is thier MO..do only what you feel comfortable with, giving him a few cig is no big deal, giving him a place to live is..or giving money, the only way i judged to see if my ex was working his recovery or not is if he would take responsibility with his choices?? if he didnt then i know he wasnt working any program..it didnt matter what he thought he was dfoing for himself in recovery..it was what I NEEDED to see happen and behaviors to change before i would consider anyhting
