Child Substance Abuse: Enabling – Can You Kill With Kindness?

when they stop making demands on you, dictating what help they expect from you. Someone who is ready to change their life will be humble and gracious for whatever help you are willing to provide, and they will become open to your suggestions. Humility is when they begin to take responsibility for themselves, their choices and actions. They will be truly open to any and all help you give and they will show their immense gratitude through their attitude, actions and the way they treat you and those around them. A person cannot be grateful and hurtful at the same time.

When your adult child struggling with a drinking or drug problem calls you in the middle of the night to bail them out of jail, or calls to tell you they are a month behind on the rent and haven’t paid their utility bill in months, should you help them? Only you can answer that question, keeping in mind that you cannot kill anyone with your kindness. Your decision should not be based on what you think your son or daughter might do, your decision should be based on what you want to do. It should be based on what would make you most comfortable and happy. It should be based on what you know will help you sleep more soundly at night. Because the only person you can control is you.
