I think I enabled my son because I didn’t want him to lose his job or home. I always hoped he’d pull it around and he did try but the scum who wanted his money were never going to leave him alone. In hindsight I should have let him suffer consequences. As he got older it felt like it would damage him more. I’m not sure but I think he would have taken his life earlier. Work was his only bit of normality. I do wish now I had let him really hit rock bottom but had there been the same outcome I would feel worse than I do now. There is no easy answer
