Families.
Arrrgghhh!
This is a thoughtful and thought provoking thread.
I have my own codie mom issues, as many of you know, complicated by dementia in both mom and addict sib.
The one thing I know is that no one is changing. They are in an enmeshed relationship that I cannot touch.
There is hurt, resentment, anger.
I try to rise above, and will continue to do so.
Nothin else to say, save let’s keep talking and sharing.
Knowing that others are trying to cope is comforting and helpful.
