How has your family been affected by a family member being an addict and finally being in Rehab? Have family members stopped talking to each other? Has a son or daughter or grandson or granddaughter detached from a grandparent? Does anyone talk realistically about it or they ashamed and guilty? Do they hush it up? Do they seek help or emotional support? Why would a mother of an addict stop talking to her own mother?
Does the mother of the addict spend all her time seeing movies, going to concerts, going on vacation trips, doing fun things with friends, doing anything and everything to keep her from being alone and confronting this issue? Does the mother seek counseling help to get her through this? I have no idea how most families react to this awful kind of situation.
Any info will be appreciated greatly. I am a grandmother whose daughter has rejected me and won't talk to me or even answer my emails. I can't stand it and feel it is very unhealthy. I am trying to leave her alone but we were very close at one time. It is difficult. I am doing my best.
Please let me know your family's experience, good or bad. Thank you.
