Welcome Sunny2022. I’m glad you found us. Here, you have found a place where people truly understand the insanity of loving an addicted adult child.
Loving an addict absolutely drains you and steals so many things from the lives of those around them. I’m sure from reading this long thread, you’re seeing that the addict has to want to do the changing and if they won’t, we suffer.
I encourage you to stick with us, and most importantly, start to slowly shift some focus back to caring for yourself. I know it’s a bit alien as a mother, to give your needs some importance, yet please try, because unfortunately all the suffering we do, doesn’t seem to change them anyway- addiction is very selfish, but maybe you can try to save yourself.
Peace to you..❤️
