Kids...disconnecting from them is so difficult. Our nature is to protect and support. I can't protect them from themselves. I only support healthy activities.
Although I don't have an addicted child, I can relate to these words about your kids. My son engages in self destructive behaviors. He cuts himself with his fingernails and bangs his head extremely hard on the wall. His psychiatrists and therapists say the same thing to me about supporting only healthy activities.
I find detachment much more difficult with him than with AH.
I'm sorry for the reasons that brought you here today.
hugs,
Lily
