Yes,they definitely are hard to cope with.And it's so difficult watching a train wreck in slow motion and not being able to do a thing to stop it.
I have been trying to show compassion the past couple of days.I am realizing now that some of my difficulty is because of their past behavior while using and not being able to let it go.It's hard to not take it personally even knowing it was the drugs that caused their behavior.
