[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 699036, member: 1967"] sadgranny, my daughter did not start getting better until my husband and I stopped being enablers. It took 2 years of therapy on our part to get to the point where we could set and stick to firm boundaries. Our therapist said that every dollar we paid toward living expenses was the same as us buying her drugs for her. That hit me like a brick but started me on the path to my own recovery. Addiction is truly a family disease. You can't change or fix your grandson. You can change your behaviors. I suggest that you start going to support groups, private therapy, or a combination of both. Keep posting here, too. We all have walked in your shoes and understand what you are going through. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
