I also see what you are saying here. I know that much of MY behavior has to change also though, as some of my behavior toward my son is just wrong. Don't get me wrong, his behaviors and addiction tear the family up, but some of my own issues and resulting behaviors do the same. Thank you for making me think even harder:) <br /><br />Thank you all for just being here to help me stand back up when I am feeling low. I hope that one day soon I will be able to set those tough boundaries and just get better and better at it.

Well, all I can write is that addicts thrive when they find someone not willing to set firm, fearless boundaries. Faced with a strong boundary, they have a dilemma. I like providing addicts with that dilemma and I don't like allowing them to peacefully get high. But, that's just me. I don't set boundaries on my behavior. I'm not the one ruining lives.Anonymous :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14866852475568786172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11199221663659821.post-48854943585483814702009-12-22T17:24:06.811-08:002009-12-22T17:24:06.811-08:00The Little Prince :) Had to smile at that one.

Sometimes when you set boundaries, the people around you have to change - or they don't get to be around you. (#5).Anonymous :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14866852475568786172noreply@blogger.com
