Is there a fine line between supporting a poster who is experiencing problems ( relationships; parenting, faith questions) and enabling them to continue to not find a solution but to keep the problem growing?
To enable is described as empower, permit, authorize
But is there a time when support becomes enabling in a negative sense?
This is something that i have been wondering about. I know that "enabler" is a word often used in AA and I am wondering if it is the same in other life experiences.
