[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 530639, member: 11791"] It's a bit of a catch-22. So, only you can know what is right for your situation. Grew up with a GFGbro... not as bad as Susiestar's, though. IF there is any thread of healthy relationship left at all, I'd be feeding that somehow. Because... healthy relationships are necessary for many SAs to turn themselves around. And I don't consider relationship-building to be enabling. BUT... if it means destroying one relationship to possibly build another? That's just lose-lose. We tried to include GFGbro - he just didn't show up. Almost never... when he did? He was polite, respectful, entered into the conversations... he added to the event IF he showed up, so, he was welcome to come. It kept some thread of connection alive, that proved useful many years later. [/QUOTE]
