Or are you implying that I am somehow co-dependent to him? We haven't even talked in forever. I don't need for him to stay screwy in order to feel like I'm "helping". I honestly do want him to get better.
I think his social group is co-dependent on each other's failures. They're homeless for chissakes, if anybody gets a job or apartment the coolest thing to do is to get fired or kicked out probably. They're like : "Who cares, you still got your buddies and your drugs right?"
Numerous times I had to escape bad social situations. It isn't easy to turn your back on friends, but I just had to remind myself that our freindship was based on addiction, and it wasn't a healthy, REAL friendship.
