Re: Hannah S/Seven M
I think they all believe that, even if they pretend not to. My mom was an addict, and I keep falling in love with them. I think a shrink would have a fucking field day with me.
So when does it end? Everything I know about this shit (which, yeah, isn't a ton) says that if you keep giving them a safety net, they're never going to change. That addicts don't change until they hit bottom, and the reason so many don't ever change is because the people who love them keep trying to help when really they're just harming. I'm not saying that's what you're doing with your brother, ftr. Just that it's what it feels like for me and her. I know her. If I find her a job, she's going to feel like she has to stay there out of obligation. Like she owes me more than she already thinks she does.
You don't need to feel guilty about helping him not be dope sick. But I get it.
