[quote=Anonymous]I am dealing with hardcore enabling right now and the two main causes are fear and laziness. It is easier to say "let's just ignore this dangerous behavior" because actually addressing it would mean taking a break from whatever numbing behaviors they are engaging in to get through the day (phones, drugs, alcohol, shopping, etc ) and actually dealing with an abuser. Also, if they placate the abuser, this keeps them out of the line of fire. So then they'll sit there and tell the person actually being abused "oh you need to do what I do and just ignore it" even though the only reason they can ignore is because it's not happening to them.[/quote]
