[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 678215, member: 1550"] This was in my opinion the absolutely perfect answer. Keep repeating it when she accuses you of not supporting her. You can also add, maybe just once, "I can't support the choices you make that could kill you, but I w ill support any effort you make to get clean, like a rehab." How can you "support" her drug use? It could ultimately do the worst. You love her. I watched "Intervention" yesterday, one of my fav shows. The mother of the addict was SO ENABLING she was handing her daughter HER pain pills so that her daughter wouldn't cut or kill herself, as s he threatened to do. It's crazy what we sometimes do to "help." I read a book too about a mother who was afraid to see her son "dope sick" (this is needing a fix) so she drove him to see his dealer for drugs. Of course he promised it would be his last time, he hated his life, etc. They are cunning. We are in love with our children. We have to get a dose of reality. Talk is cheap. "I want to quit" won't work. Few quit without professional help. It makes them way too sick and they give up. If she wants to quit she will go to a rehab and stay there and follow the rules. Then you can support her with all your heart. [/QUOTE]
