[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 481850, member: 1157"] I was thinking about this some more, and remembering a pamphlet I picked up at an Al-Anon meeting years ago, called "A Merry Go Round Named Denial." I remember that it helped me a great deal with understanding my role in the craziness, and understanding what I needed to do to change it (at that time, it was my husband's alcoholism). I did some Googling to see if I could find the pamphlet, and while the "official" pamphlet is not on line that I can find, I found a few sites that had posted the text. Here's one: [url=http://www.bendfeldt.com/alcholism.htm]alcholism[/url] It's a long read, but worth it in my opinion. You can substitute "Alcoholism/Alcoholic" with "drug addiction/addict," and substitute "wife/husband" with "parent/child" and the message is the same. It paints a good picture of the crazy merry-go-round and all the players. Hope it helps. [/QUOTE]
