Life sucks ... and you can never win.
If you continue helping someone who fools around and makes life's poor choices ... people don't call that LOVE. They call it idiocy ... and worse they will red-tagged you as ENABLER.
If you are a sucker for giving "second chances" ... people think you encourage bad or self-destructive behaviors.
If you keep mum and have your mouth zipped the whole time your loved one is messing up his life ... people think you are justifying and indirectly supporting his potentially unhealthy tendencies.
If you SEE nothing ... HEAR nothing ... and FEEL nothing about someone's daily incursions into crime or drugs ... people will describe you as someone who condones ... tolerates ... and empowers someone of a dysfunctional behavior.
Life indeed sucks.
Little did people know ... that the person they called enabler was silenced into doing any protest ... they were coerced ... threatened .., or pressured (as in coerced into silence) - the worst abuse any person can have.
The situation can be likened to someone putting a knife in your back ... and then forcing you to smile for everyone to see ... making them believe everything is fine and dandy between the two of you.
