AnvilHeadII,
Probably the latter.
I see now that his brain is absolutely consumed; I recall when he lived with me, a task that would take someone 5 minutes took him about 7 hours.
And his brain is definitely hijacked! His memory was close to zero.
It makes complete and perfect sense when you say this....
He's not my friend. Not really.
He never really was.
I offered him what I thought was the greatest deal ever....but to an addict, I guess the only greatest deal ever is the drug they're chasing.
Posting here is amazing. The wisdom is clear, concise and comes from people who know from experience.....
I am in over my head, and getting the hell out of the way is sage advice.
I am away now, and I need to stay away.
Thank you kindly for the post.
