[QUOTE="Bean, post: 413471, member: 8620"] Gosh, what a poignant post. I watch Intervention, too, and see parallels to our family, our lives. That show was one of the first sources of comfort to me when dealing with my child. I'm not there to catch my daughter, and don't feel I'm codependant that way. Her life choices make me incredibly sad, which I don't think is entirely abnormal. But the fact that I'm not living enough [I]outside[/I] of that might be a reason why I can't cope as well. It's hard. Dealing with addicted children is not a part of parenting that comes normal. It's something you really can't understand unless you've been there. Kudos to you for recognizing your own behaviors. I wish you could have time at Betty Ford, too. I understand what a gift that could be. Big hugs. [/QUOTE]
