[QUOTE="Origami, post: 728334, member: 18099"] I have a good friend who sees "my world" this way, also. She's sympathetic on the one hand, but tends to hand out black-and-white advice. She also doesn't have children. Maybe it's easier not to enable when you're looking in at a situation from the outside. It always seemed to me that people who act like it should be easy to manage this kind of situation forget that your child is not just an addict, difficult person, rule-breaker, etc., but is a real person with feelings and a history. Maybe I haven't reached the point of detachment yet where I can distance myself from all of this (still working on it). [/QUOTE]
