My issue is reading too much here today. Story after story of how seriously some of these people need help, and how enablers are the way they avoid it and stay addicts.

So I came on very strong. Too many sad stories and my hard side came out.

Yes she needs a treatment facility, and I wish I knew all the answers there, and I don't. You can't even make her go into one if she doesn't want to, and yes, she very much needs long-term.

I was expressing what I wish all enablers would do--kick addicts out. Stop enabling. But no story is all black and white. It was my frustration. Is it ideal to kick them all out? Yes.
And then we get into the tough part of it, even if they want to go...insurance, for example. Funding. That very serious issue of who is going to pay for all this.

I'm sure some other people will come along with more advice. I need to log off, I've been here too much today, and I don't know if I am thinking clearly any longer.
