Thank you. This detaching with love is a concept I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around. I understand consequences and I understand about boundaries. Is detaching going about your own business when the addict is using and acting like nothing is different (even if the substance is illegal) or stepping over them when they are passed out on the floor? I don't understand. My AH falls asleep with cigarrettes all the time and is burning up the carpet around the bed and the chairs. When I take them out from his fingers or point out the burns on the floor, all I get is anger.

I don't understand.
