My parents were my best enablers in my addictions, and when I got clean/sober, they turned their enabling to my oldest daughter. When she finally burnt them badly enough, they quit, but in turn started enabling my youngest daughter.

We had a huge blow-out a couple of weeks ago, and I had to severe ties for my own sanity and recovery.

I tried for years and years to get my parents to understand enabling, to no avail.

It drove me crazy.

I hopped off of the crazy train and now take care of myself
