I identify and sympathize with your personal feelings... Struggeling with loving someone so much, but unable to help them become whole, is something of a personal battle itself. Putting up a shield of armor, boundaries and consequences, in order to avoid enableing, becomes a program of recovery that you didn't choose or sign up for. These confliction emotions of tough love haunts every day that you live with a loved one battleing addiction. May our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, grant us strength to be brave and strong! I have to say...our family has been lifted over these worries, only by the Grace of God. He continues to carry us on his wings of wisdom.
