[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 722257, member: 1967"] Thanks for sharing the article. Information is always good although I found myself shaking my head when I read it. It implied that all we have to do is accept our children's addictions and then they will turn around and ask for help and get sober. It is entirely possible that he would have asked for help whether she kissed him and sent him off to shoot up or not. Tough love has never been about shunning, shaming, or turning our backs to our troubled loved ones. It is about stopping enabling behavior on our part that keeps them from experiencing the consequences of their addiction. It is setting firm boundaries with love and being strong enough to let them fall. Sadly, there are times we have to cut off contact if our loved ones are abusive to us. Even that is an act of letting them feel the consequences of their actions. If you don't treat people well, they don't want to be around you. Just my point of view . . . [/QUOTE]
