Common Characteristics that Family Members Face who Love an Addict
It’s a common misconception that if an addict in your life were to get help, it would automatically resolve any family issues. By the time an addict agrees to seek help, the dysfunction in the family is usually so profound that recovery is only one small portion of what has to happen. Escape is inevitable for some, so they develop compulsive behavior to combat their feelings of unhappiness. We’re discussing some of the characteristics of people affected by a loved one's addiction they develop to disconnect from this unhappiness and suggestions for how to cope.
