Ah, Girlfriend, you did what you did out of love. She did what she did out of addiction. You are both playing your parts in this family disease drama.
Every one of us knows the pain you are going through. Some from our parents, some from our spouses, and some from our children, but the pain is the same. There is simply no easy way to watch them self-destruct.
Over on another thread, when one of us is having a really, really bad day, we pull out our virtual rocking chair, we all climb up in it together, we hold each other and comfort each other and rock together until the pain starts to lessen and we can get a fresh reserve of positivity.
Want to rock with us tonight, Susan? We can't change your reality, but we can hold you while you cry.....and we can cry with you.
((((((Hugs))))))))))
