[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 743572, member: 19522"] Hi Michael, you have replied to an old post, it may take awhile for others to respond. Welcome to CD. I am sorry for your troubles with your stepson. It is hard when adult kids have kids and still are not responsible. Ugh. We fell into the money trap, the games, the lies. We just wanted to help, but learned after awhile that we were being taken advantage of. I suppose it is because we wouldn’t imagine doing the same to our own parents, were horrified for our grandkids, the list goes on, then it all does boil down to the “E” word. When a therapist point blank told me I was an enabler, I was shocked and angry. It was true. I just got so caught up in it all, I had no idea. How do these adult kids of ours live with themselves? What an insult to people who are truly battling leukemia. I have heard similar things from my daughter. “He’s not an addict, he has stomach cancer.” Huh. Have heard the family takes care of family line also. Right. That is a one sided lifestyle of addicts. What is their contribution to family? I understand this, but that is something you have no control over. No sense fretting over what may be. Live your life well. You matter. (((Hugs))) Leafy [/QUOTE]
