Addiction. when loved ones get too involved

“I thought I would help my son get through itCassandra confides. In fact, I only delayed his treatment by the medical staff. I lied for him, I gave him money, I stopped myself from sleeping to wait for him, I worked to watch over him, I put my relationship in danger. Until I realized that all these efforts were in vain. He remained addicted to cannabis, and the situation worsened“.

Cassandra gradually fell into cohabitation, these uncomfortable reactions adopted by those around her (spouses, family, friends, but also some colleagues or employers) to cope with their loved one’s addiction. “It always starts with a good feeling, a real and sincere desire to support, protect, even cure a person who is addicted to a substance (legal like alcohol or illegal like drugs) or behavior (screens, gaming…).” explains psychiatrist and addict Dan Vella.
