[QUOTE="Sister's Keeper, post: 688070, member: 20051"] No, it's on HIM. He is now a grown man, living away from home. What choices he makes, at this point, are his. ....and, shoot, we have all made mistakes, and been in denial, and been manipulated. That's the nature of addiction. It is all a learning process and it isn't easy. I don't think the counselor called you to suggest it was your fault or responsibility, I think that you were right, I think that she wanted to make sure that you were all on the same page about how to proceed. You would be amazed at how many family members actually do sabotage treatment plans. (I have been in one too many family groups LOL) I think taking a break is a good idea. We tend to make rash decisions and say things we shouldn't when we are emotional. Give yourself time and then, maybe, discuss with the counselor what the treatment team thinks is the best course of action, be prepared for backlash ramping up of the manipulation. [/QUOTE]
