[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 636515, member: 13542"] I completely agree with you. To continue to help them would likely be considered enabling as well, so you would still be in the thick of it with your in laws. It does get so complicated when family members continue to "help" against our wishes and against logic and reality, but you can't save them from themselves. I would communicate that to them, let them know you are now out of the game, their actions make it impossible for you when they continue to help him. I know how difficult it is to be the enforcer. I'm glad you decided to stop. I believe that is a healthy and positive choice for you. Hang in there, it does get easier with time. [/QUOTE]
