Hey Ches,
I cannot write much now because I am about to leave for the weekend but -
wow! what similarities. I hadn't mentioned it but my cousin is also an addict (in her case weed and in younger years anything she could get her hands on)
I suspect what goes on with their parents is this codependency issue.
And no, if I may venture a guess, I don't believe it would kill his mum if you told her what really goes on... I suspect it would be like in my case, she would be in complete denial.
They live in this bubble of delusion and have created their own reality.
Exactly same situation as I mentioned, my cousin also portrays herself as the eternal victim and in the beginning I fell for it ("poor girl doesn't have a job, I will help and employ her for mum" etc.)
btw Ches you got pm.
