You're right - I don't want to accept your suggestion as reality. Even though I know in the back of my mind that what you're saying is true, it's really difficult to accept. We (as a family) feel like if we cut them off completely they will only have the wrong people to turn to for support during those times of weakness when they actually DO acknowledge that there IS a problem. But it very well could be that that's exactly what we are doing wrong. I do appreciate your input, and I also understand that it's something that we are going to have to learn to accept - reality doesn't go away just because you don't want to accept it.
