[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 257442, member: 1436"] Your responsibility is to yourself and the other members of your family who are doing what they need to do to live a happy, successful life. You are not responsible for a grown man who chooses to live life the way your son has chosen to live his. If you need to give him a few bucks here and there to help you feel better---then do not feel quilty about it. That's not enabling. Enabling is allowing him to continue to use you to help him live the lifestyle he has chosen. Enabling is allowing him to come home without a treatment plan. Enabling is putting your life on hold to take him to the dr., calling his lawyers, not going on trips with your husband, just because you are trying to control his use of drugs. You are his mother. You will always be his mother, and it is okay to love him and worry about his well-being. Learn to seperate the addict from the person. It's okay to love the person and hate the addiction. Feed the person, not the addiction. [/QUOTE]
