The enabler is written by Angelyn Miller. This was a good read and I couldn't put down this book till I had finished it. When I had finished reading it though it was like a revelation of how we have enabled our son to game as well as other behaviours and actions that are not very acceptable. This as well as the Addictive Personality are well worth the read.The information is helpful and empowering in helping to promoting change. We need to recognize our problems and shortcomings as caregivers/partners and need help in understanding that in not trying to be helpful and accomodating is the greatest help of all.

Hi,
Many thanks for the useful tip. I hope this helps me understand and help my son who appears to be caught up in this addictive behaviour.
Kind regards,
Clairey
Thanks, I've added this one to my to-read list. I'm beginning to see how I've contributed to this mess. Enabling looks like another piece of the puzzle.
