Enabling

I was talking to a lady yesterday who was very upset at her son. She said he was a heroin addict and has been giving her grief for the last 10 years even going so far as setting her up in a violent situation to get money from her. When he gets out of jail or hospital she dutifully gets him a place, furniture money and then feels bad when he slips back into his addiction. Poor her, she can't see her part in this sad story.
