[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 676023, member: 19522"] Thank you for this TL, it is very [I]grounding[/I] (pardon the pun). I stumbled across some new concepts on[I] caring for addicted family member[/I]s, something along the lines, that detachment is damaging for them, drives them deeper into their addiction..... they [I]need family.[/I]....yadayadayada. I am wondering if the proponents of this theory have actually been through the proverbial [I]wringer [/I]one goes through, when an addicted family member takes us with them, on the horrible roller coaster ride. Lying, stealing, dangerous people around your home....on and on. I agree treatment does have a long way to go. But we do have our own lives to live, without the destructive chaos our addicted d cs [I]choose for themselves[/I]. Thank you TL, this was so very good to read. It is a great way to visualize, and reminds me I have to get out in my garden! Lots and lots of weeds! Have a Happy New Year! (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
