Ivy- what a very powerful message you have shared. It’s very real and we as the loved ones know all of it all too well. You are so right about the stigma placed on addicts. I must say I myself, have had some of those emotions at times when I’m frustrated. It’s such a complex problem that doesn’t seem to have a clear definitive answer in the psychiatric and medical community. And if they can’t figure it out, how are we as family members supposed to?
