[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 511269"] I like that don't dial pain...at least when it applies to loved ones who are addicts who you know will lie to you. I do think of other people that may be in our lives where even if it hurts it is still worth the phone call. And yes Nancy I think they do have a parent program.... and I will ask about that on our next call. I have this fantasy about going down at some point and having some magical family therapy session that will somehow resolved the issues between us.... lol... that probably won't happen. I really think in a way we just need to let him sit in his own juices, feel his own pain, get help from others who are more objective than we are. I really feel he knows we love him and he is so in the habit of taking advantage of our love that he will revert to manipulating us in some way and that wont help him right now. Detachment is what is called for I guess. TL [/QUOTE]
