Doing fine except when other family members try to argue that we should let them back in.
Uh, no, he tried to break into my apartment at 1am high as a kite. It was fucking scary, and that was also the first time I'd seen him in over a year despite living less than a mile away.
They don't want to accept that his addiction has fundamentally changed him into a different person.
Ugh. I’m so sorry. I’ve been in recovery for years at this point but hearing this stuff gives me flashbacks. I didn’t break into other people’s houses but I certainly did and said stuff high as a kite that freaked out my loved ones. Sounds like your family loves that particular person but what they’re doing is enabling. You don’t owe the addict or your family any type of “acceptance” for that person or their behavior. They need some tough love. You hadn’t seen them for a year until they decided to break in, clearly they don’t think or care about you at all. Fuck that.
You don’t need to accept that behavior at all.
