My whole family is in a state of 'denial' but I do think we could fill the DSM with the various family illnesses - the biggest and most important decision I made was to seek help for myself and hey if the family can't cope with that then fine! The biggest step to wellbeing is saying "I need help" the second is to say it someone who preferrably has less of a problem than you...
The most gut-wrenching time I ever had was when ma actually booked into detox! However, after a short time she left saying they knew less about her problems than she did and promptly took another overdose... Uh, uh, I can't be dealing with that and my problems
