I have been talking to my daughter lately. Sometimes on the phone and sometimes by text messages. Sometimes I initiate contact and sometimes she does. When we talk I do not bring up her addiction. If she does, I listen but don't offer solutions. My reasons are because it does no good and also because I know she is more than just her addiction. But recently I have thought of whether this is enabling behavior on my part. There is still that elephant in the room. The one that stands between us and makes any kind of a meaningful relationship impossible. She knows that I want her to get clean. She is not ready. So what do you guys think. Is it a form or enabling to have conversations with my daughter and not mention addiction (thus maybe letting her believe that her addiction is not so serious)? She asks for nothing and I give nothing. I just try to love her. Opinions, please
