Scenario

When family members cope differently with addiction

My mom and I are both dealing with my dad's alcoholism but we handle it completely differently - I want boundaries and consequences while she keeps enabling and making excuses - and it's destroying our relationship with each other on top of everything else. We love each other but we're making each other's pain worse.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Divergent responses to a loved one's addiction are fracturing the very relationships needed for mutual support.
