[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 621510, member: 15801"] I have been reading some stuff lately about how rock bottom is a fallacy and the idea that we turn our backs on our loved ones is way off base. If this was any other disease we would of course help with treatment. My general sense is we all have to find our way in this journey and the truth is somewhere in between. I definitely think you are doing the right thing by stepping back and away while she is actively using...you have to do that for your own sanity and helping her financially while she is using will not help her. However I don't regret helping my son find all those rehabs...at least it gave him some bursts of sober time and some clear thinking. I don't think you should spend a lot more money on rehabs either....but I think giving her emotional support and help with sober living could be a good thing.
