[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 333380, member: 3444"] Geez, they're really hard-lining it aren't they? Just because you're calling to let them know he's in the ER doesn't mean you're expecting them to DO anything. It's simply an FYI, ya know? That's their codependency showing -- they're freaking out ASSuming that someone's trying to svck them back into their old behaviors. To me that says they are not very far down their own recovery road. A more reasonable response would have been "Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate your concern." And that's it -- they don't need to explain, they don't need to get mad. It is what it is, and no one's trying to manipulate them. Ugh. This is going to be a long, hard road for their family. I hope your nephew gets through this okay. And I hope you can survive this process while watching it from the outside, knowing that they don't want you involved and are going to be kinda over-the-top in their methods for a while. ((((Hugs)))) [/QUOTE]
