Thanks, everyone. I will definitely recommend NarAnon and some reading.. I wish my mom would find a good therapist but in my experience, they are really hard to find. I've had the worst luck with them for some reason.

If my parents read anything I wrote on here about them, they'd be so hurt it would end up affecting our relationship. And I just don't need the extra drama right now.

I'm happy they are finally realizing they need to do something, especially my mother who is the primary enabler. But I don't have a ton of hope for my brother. He's 40 and my mom is 70. She's an ACOA, and has never dealt with any of her issues. Can someone change at 70? My brother has been doing drugs since he was 13.. Gosh, it's depressing.

Anyway, I really need SR for myself right now. It helps me more than Alanon and therapy.
