Hi LadyP,

Discussing his addiction with you is a beginning, but continuing to blame you is a hurdle which, until he surmounts it, will bring recovery to a standstill.

Dear LadyP,

I'm using my phone to type this, so I apologize for typos and disjointed thoughts.

"Blame the victim" is classic addict behavior. Please

Don't allow it.

If you had refused to give an alcoholic booze, would you be responsible for driving him deeper into his addiction? No, of course not. That's silly, but it's a notion I clung to for sometime. It's nonsense.

Practice this: "I hereby unequivocally refuse delivery of any blame for your addiction.". Deliver it with force.

My best, DW

>He's left the family home over the weekend, so I guess he thinks he's right!!


A man doesn't stop blame shifting and lust-seeking until he's had enough pain. 
Apart from a work of the Holy Spirit, the deeper he's in, the more pain is required to break his pride.
