Supporting vs enabling. The definitions above can be mentally manipulated (I say this because I've done it....lol).

I read a saying recently that I'm trying to take a little more to heart these days....if two or more people tell me it's a horse, I need to buy a saddle.

I've enabled to a degree that most will never achieve (I'm not proud of that, it's simply true). The addict in my life is still using, living in his car (or somewhere...I really don't know). My point? You'll know eventually whether what you are doing is enabling or simply giving a helping hand. Time always reveals more.

gentle hugs
