[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 742362, member: 4152"] That's a really hard question. I wonder if it is somehow different with addiction vs. mental illness...although the two can be co-mingled. With our daughter, who is mentally ill, I try to look at it without emotion as much as possible. I set boundaries all over the place. This largely takes the emotion out of it. Some things, I just can not and will not tolerate. Sadly, she tries to break the boundaries relatively often. But, I do see her making efforts and there are improvements. Also, if the behavior is causing you harm, it might be that at some point, you have to remove yourself. I personally am not sure if "forgive" is necessarily at play. It's confusing for me too. Wishing you well. These things can be so difficult. [/QUOTE]
