[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know you love your sister but paying for her rehab is totally codependent behavior. I know you want to pat yourself on the back for paying the money but it doesn’t matter if it’s $1 or $10K ... you saving her is a toxic move. I’m not going to convince you of this on DCUM. See a therapist who specializes in ALANON. It would take a whole day to explain this to you.[/quote] You are completely off base here. Paying directly for a sibling’s rehab is not codependent. Giving her cash to pay for rent while knowing her sibling would use it to buy pills or booze? Sure. Paying for her third stint at out-patient when it’s clear out-patient isn’t working? Yep. But paying for one stint of out-patient rehab to give her sister an opportunity at sobriety is not enabling her.[/quote] Her sister is an adult and an adult with money. OP didn't need to pay, but she did anyway which clearly points to a codependent type of relationship. [/quote]
