You totally lost me here. I don't understand the comparisson.

And then there's the question of really whether joining in on a drug and alcohol binge is really supporting someone, as opposed to colluding in their self destruction.

I think that your distorted thinking about what love and support means is something you could fruitfully address in therapy. Maybe this binge is an opportunity to explore with your T about how you think about these things.
Yeah I have session tomorrow, that I'm still debating whether I should go to or not. I suppose this could be an interesting topic. Your viewpoint definately sparked something.

Hankster no worries, I didn't feel insult. I actually appreciate the different views, your making me think. I think my sister is more broken than I am and honestly I act like the toughest most bulletproof person around everyone IRL. Thanks for the trigger notice, I will add one.
