Chicory I did not mean to hurt you. It is true that you are the only one left who will tolerate his completely unacceptable behavior. I am so glad you went to an alanon meeting..keep going back as they say. I FINALLY realized that what I said, did, encouraged my AD to do was as Lexicat says going in one ear and out the other. She now recieves help from therapists, Dr.s , drug counselors , and program people. She LISTENS to them. They are not her MOTHER. We are not drug counselors, Dr.s , addiction specialists, or AA members. Even if we were we would not be allowed to treat a family member.I suck as a treatment center. What a relief to stop trying to be one
ps..she says I would love her addiction counselor she is "loud like you Mom,and she just calls me out on my sh*& and tells me I'm being a dumba&*" and she loves her and listens! Now if I said the same things, how do you think that would go over? They need help from proffessionals and other addicts, not their mamas.
