[QUOTE="Andy4382, post: 757077, member: 24520"] Supporting and enabling is different. We support him by telling him we love him, so proud your not doing any drugs now, keep your head up it will get better, thank you for your help. Is enabling a place to sleep, eat and shower. If he his doing anything for himself? Sometime its best that I don't say anything about what's going on or ask questions how he is doing. He thinks I'm trying to tell him what he needs to be doing or what have you been doing or where have you been. Why start a argument, it just pisses him off. My only grand son had his first easter egg hunt and I ask the wife to mention about mowing the yard before Saturday to him and he wanted to fuss with her saying it doesn't need to be mowed. We wanted it mowed but he didn't think it needed it. I was present during the conversation but keep my mouth shut. Then later on he wanted to fuss on me for telling his mom to ask him to mow. Yes I told her to ask you just to see your reaction and yes it pissed him off. See for many,many years my son and I have put my wife between us. Its a hard habit to quit. She has been in not a good place at all. So really its not ever good around here all the time. All my wife and I want is peace, quite and no drama.
