[QUOTE="Beta, post: 754265, member: 22597"] [B][I]"Beta, Joshua's mean words affect you and behavior are part of substance abuse. And you are affected emotionally when he gets into trouble because of how much you love him. Addiction is a family disease. Everyone is mentally involved when a loved one suffers from this evil disease." [/I][/B] My quote function isn't working right.[B] Busy,[/B] thank you for your encouragement. I don't have firsthand knowledge that Josh is using pot and alcohol; I only have what my sister told me HE told her and her husband and what they observed. If this is true, it is only something he has been doing over the last couple of years. He did not use drugs previously before he moved to Colorado, and he did not drink while living in our home the couple of times he moved back to live with us. So anyway, I wasn't sure if I "qualified" to attend Al Anon based on his (alleged) drug use. I live in rural Midwest so finding things like Al Anon can be difficult but after the holidays, I will give it a try again. His mean words (and very threatening words) have definitely affected me. In fact, I feel like what I suppose an abuse victim might feel, albeit maybe not as severely. I have stepped back from him right now after his latest abusive messages. Thank each one of you for chiming in on this. [/QUOTE]
