I don't know if what I do anymore is helpful or harmful. My son in an addict, he had been using heroin for almost a year before he told me…this was just a few months ago. He has a history of alcohol abuse & just about every party drug out there that I can think of..also abuses the medication he would get from his doctor…this started when he was a teen..chronic medical issues and a back injury…the disrespect is pretty much more than I can take anymore..I have allowed his addiction to consume me…I worry when he is here and worry when he isn't..
Her addiction feels all consuming to me, too, but I'm realizing that the best I can do for her is to detach from her. The more I help, plead, console, and plead, the more she can delay doing anything about her addiction, which is always the goal, to use the rest of us so that she can delay recovery. It will make me crazy, but I've decided not to talk to her anymore until she's ready for treatment. It will make me crazy, but I've been told again and again, by recovered addicts that it's the best thing for her.
