Abusing alcohol, holding onto a delusion that you know is an illusion, and not wanting to get better... I think my feeling frustrated is rational. I reply to OP because I actually can relate. I care.

LC coddles the OP. The person the OP loves the most and it doesn't help.

I will never encourage bad behavior, but I'm happy to offer healthy alternatives. Which, imo, is finding a T, building up her support system, making steps to be healthy. I don't see how that can offend anyone. Expecting a miraculous change is illogical. Suggesting baby steps and offering possible scenarios, to me, is constructive.

Yet for the people who don't like my type of support and find it acceptable to criticize it, I don't see you offering the OP any other support except saying the type I'm giving is wrong.

So, as one did, I address this to the OP:

If you actually want help and/or support, please tell us how. How can we actually help you to get to a better place? A healthier place?

All these people who have responded can relate on some level. All care on some level because they're reacting. We are listening. We are trying to help.
