Habit
We each have to choose what we need to do in order to deal with our addicted loved ones and we have to choose what is healthiest for us. Some will choose NC and some will not. There is no judgement is what we choose to do. We are here to support you in whatever difficult decisions you make.
I do understand loving an adult addicted child who has made one destructive decision after another and that it is far too painful to watch from up close. I do understand not being able to engage with the A because historically it always becomes mentally or psychologically abusive. I do understand that NC is sometimes the only way that we can protect ourselves because we are human and cannot always be perfectly strong.
Keep doing whatever you need to do for you. And may your daughter continue to find a positive direction. And yes.....there's no doubt that our addicted children know that we love them. No doubt.
You and your daughter will be in my prayers today.
gentle hugs
