When families avoid difficult conversations about addiction

Our family has been avoiding talking about my brother's addiction for months, and we've all developed this elaborate dance of concern and silence, but I think our avoidance is actually making it harder for him and for us to figure out what love looks like in this situation.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The tension between protecting someone and confronting reality has created a system where love expresses itself through silence, potentially serving no one.
