What to Expect When You Stop Enabling

This YouTube video explores what will happen when you stop enabling a person who is benefiting from not having to be self-responsible.

“Enabling” is when you cover up, lie, fix, and make excuses which allows the person to continue making poor choices without having to bear the consequences. You do this because you are afraid that if you do not that the person will suffer and watching the suffering is too painful for you. You do this because you believe it is being loving. You do this because you feel guilty when you don’t.

It isn’t easy to stop enabling, but when you finally get up enough strength to do it, BE PREPARED. The person you have enabled is not going to be happy that you are stopping and the reaction will require you to stand your ground and be incredibly tough.
