(((Faithfully)))
I know the torment of watching someone self destroy. My son is an addict. But all the things I thought would soften the wounds, only helped him to maintain his addiction. If I were an addict I would have responded the same.
He is now doing better than he has in a while (I think) and we have very little contact. I was a big part of the problem. I allowed him to continue in a life style that was necessary to maintain his addiction. I'm not proud of that.
We can either stick around and help to allow them to get worse, or cut some ties and wait for the call. My call hasn't come, and I was sure it would if I let him go.
Something to think about...
