[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s their child - no matter how bad he was to you they are not going to abandon him. What is it you expect them to do? Can your kids have phone calls with them? [/quote] Healthy parents love their child but set firm limits — they’ll pay for treatment or housing tied to recovery, but won’t bankroll addiction or excuse harm. Unhealthy parents confuse enabling with love, denying the addiction, funding destructive choices, and protecting the addict’s comfort over their grandchildren’s well-being. The difference is boundaries versus collusion. Currently, they are handing him over $100k annually to get drunk all day every day. [/quote]
