[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm...this is a very interesting thread. If anything, it highlights why this country is in the throes of an opioid crisis. I agree very much with OP that she shouldn't be imposed on in any way. The PP who suggested that OP and her husband attend meetings to hear about addiction is deluded. [b]Why should OP take any more precious time to understand her SIL's stupidity?[/b] Yes, maybe OP is petty about splitting meal payments etc. but I think that's natural since she knows about how her in-laws are being squeezed by their parasite daughter. Why should she and her husband pick up the slack just because they make the $$ in the family? It's kinda f-ed up I think. [/quote]Uh, the reason one attends meetings is to get support for *not* enabling the addict.  You might want to educate yourself about 12-step programs.  [/quote]

DP.  I personally think Op's in a great place psychologically with regard to SIL, as in she doesn't participate in any of the bullsh*t that Codependents play in when they deal with addicts.  She doesn't need a 12 step program to "teach" her to be less codependent.

It is quite telling, however, how many codependence sufferers so desperately try to guilt and shame OP into joining their ranks.  You are a bunch of wackos.[/quote]She's at the right place - not wanting to subsidize the sister - but I bet all this is driving her crazy.  12-step groups can help people do what needs to be done without ruminating and going crazy over it.  They're helpful that way.  But, if you think OP has got it all figured out and that she can't learn anything from anyone else...well there's no arguing with you. [/quote]

Right? I mean, the whole reason OP was posting here was because she has everything all figured out.[/quote]
