[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 524198, member: 13542"] Gee whiz Nancy, I am sorry. It's so hard to watch them make these absurd choices, I know. My therapist told me that my daughter had no ability to "future think" which really helped to clear up a lot for me. She lives in the moment, tomorrow doesn't exist. And, it then made even more sense why I kept stepping in to think about her future when I could and rescue her. She would do the same exact thing, spend all her money today and have nothing left. The most difficult thing is to be on the sidelines watching their lives go up in flames and feeling powerless to stop it. [/QUOTE]
