Anhörig
As a relative, it can be very difficult to know where to start.
Have you tried to make the person realize that there is a problem? But haven't been able to get through?
It's easy to start finding fault with yourself. You ask yourself what you could have done differently.
Do you recognize yourself?
TRAPS AS RELATIVE
Having a child, partner, parent, or perhaps a close friend you love who is stuck in an addiction is a very stressful and complex situation. It is important not to shame or blame yourself or the person in question.
If you are a close relative, you probably experience several or all of the 9 traps that cause you and your loved one to get stuck in a negative spiral where your own behavior actually doesn't help either of you.
At Narconon, we have a saying: what you can confront, you can overcome! Take the first step toward change by examining your own situation.
Contact us for free advice on how you can help your loved one by helping yourself.
