[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 637687, member: 1967"] Thanks, RE, pasajes4, and Sig. RE, I changed the title to CD family. I need all the help I can get. Our dynamic is for difficult child to fall apart and for us to rescue her and put her into the next program and the cycle just repeats itself over and over. Her therapist and my therapist both have told me that we need to step back and let difficult child face the consequences of her addictions and actions. The last time that difficult child relapsed, her therapist told us that she had told difficult child that we were cutting off all financial help as per the contract that she and we had signed. She said that she had told difficult child that if we didn't stop helping her we were going to enable her to death. That was powerful to hear. I am feeling guilty because I have set very firm boundaries and basically cut off communication since difficult child uses any contact with us to manipulate us. My therapist told me that she thought it was good that I did that until difficult child finally got the message that we weren't going to rescue her. [/QUOTE]
