We're going to take a deep look into exactly how your addiction has hurt your family. I will prepare you, there's a lot of truth bombs coming your way and some of these won't be pleasant but just remember these things are not to try to make you feel guilty. I know that you already feel guilty.
9 TRUTHS of how addiction has affected the family:
You villainize the people in their life and use that as a way to justify their addiction
You're gaslighting (manipulate (someone) by questioning their own sanity)
You've got your family's hopes up and disappointed them over and over
You've pit family members and friends against each other
Your addiction has become a financial burden
Your family lives in constant fear when you're in active addiction
You've put your loved one in a rock in a hard place situation(probably more than once)
You guilt them
You push people away so that you can continue to hide your addiction
This is really to help you understand and have empathy for your family members' behavior. After you understand this, you'll know how to make the situation much better!
