[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 413420, member: 1514"] I think tossing our babies out is one of the hardest things a momma has to do. I was watching an Intervention show tonight and I could see myself in the mom. It was just agonizing for the mother as she kept finding her daughter actually stealing money that the mother kept hiding in places in the house. The daughter was a heroin addict and would plunder in the mom's house looking for any money or anything she could sell for her next fix. When the mom caught her, the daughters answers were "yeah, but I didnt steal your gold this time." The mom just looked so beaten down and sad. In the pre-intervention, the mom just said how she didnt know how she could ever just put her only baby out on the streets when she loved her so much. The guy said, do you want to love her to death? You are allowing the disease to make you sicker than she is. She feels no need to change her behaviors because you allow her to not feel the weight of what she is doing. You rescue her from the impact. Rang so true to me. I do the same thing with my son. I am his crutch. He doesnt have to change his behaviors and grow up because Mommy is there to catch him. I am doing him no favors. I wish I could attend the Betty Ford Family center. I am realizing just how co-dependent I am...Cory is my drug. I am really, seriously considering contacting intervention on both Mandy and Cory. I dont know if they would go. Have a real feeling Mandy would balk and Cory would refuse, especially since they wouldnt go to the same place. Mandy has complete blinders on and plays the who me, and pretends she cant hear a thing that goes on around her and that she is completely innocent in everything. BS. I know completely different. She can just play the innocent little, mistreated girl. I see right through her. Im pretty sure another addict would too. [/QUOTE]
