(17,006 posts)stay even one night in your home. Nothing good will come of it. They are sick and you can not love them well. My niece is an addict and she knows Ill write the check for rehab any time shes ready to go but she not ready. There are others supporting her current life style and its working for her now. I talk to her all the time and Id never emotionally cut her off. Just recently I paid her for working for me so she could get Christmas presents for some people. Yep... she sucked me right in. I hadnt been told she had been filling her grandfatherss Xanax scrip... for herself. She has advanced liver disease due to previous drug/alcohol use and everyone is so happy shes not drinking they let her slide on everything else. Shes all of 31. Breaks my heart.
So, keep your hearts open but your home and wallet closed.
