I can't answer that question, but I can talk about my experience.
I'm a drinker and I've been living with my parents for two years now in order to sober up. I think I have 5 or 6 weeks sober right now after yet another relapse (that lasted about 2.5 weeks). I had 80 days sober before that, the longest I've had.
If my parents had not put up with me, not supported me, I'd probably be dead now because I have nowhere else to go. They know I have mental problems and they are being
very patient.
I'm getting therapy now...actually I'm leaving in a few minutes to go to my session.
I am ever grateful for my family.
I know I don't know much about anything, but whatever you do, Daisy, it would probably be a good idea to define what your boundries are. You can be supportive, but please take care of yourself.
