The Addict and the Enabler
Some are angry
They are bored They are envious They are selfish They drink too much alcohol Or take many drugs Or have one-night-stands regularly Or work long hours They are addicts. Some are lonely They feel inadequate They don't know their needs Others give them their wants Others provide their needs Others are their "drugs" They take "hostages" They think they are unselfish They are enablers. The addicts find enablers The enablers find addicts Both are bored with "normal" people. The addicts like the love of the enablers The enablers like the "strength" of the addicts They use each other. Sometimes the addict feels smothered The enabler can't detach The addict gets upset The addict indulges in the addiction Then the enabler gets upset They fight Later they make up Often they do this for many years. Sometimes the enabler wants to be loved The addict can't sympathize The enabler gets upset The enabler stops loving Then the addict get upset They fight Later they make up Often they do this for many years.
