I really feel for you, and your situation. I think the term ‘enabling’ gets thrown around alot by others looking in, but you should not feel ashamed for supporting your son. Providing you’re not giving him money to fund his addiction, I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong. And even if you were, no one has the right to judge you. My mum’s just came out of rehab, and they ran a really good family service. The best advice we were given was to encourage her to go to meetings, to avoid putting her down, and to focus on building up her self esteem. Addiction asks alot from those in the wings, propping up the user, so try to invest sometime in your own well-being.
