[QUOTE="AmericanGirl, post: 549319"] I've struggled with this. For me, I've decided that showing love does not necessarily equal enabling. Enabling, to me, is doing something for them that they should do for themselves and/or doing something which keeps them in active addiction. I think most of our difficult children have what I call a hole in the heart. Don't get me wrong, it isn't from not being love enough -- it is because all that love will never fill up a vessel with a hole. But, I try to always make certain difficult child knows I love him.
