“I know. The truth is Tyler this is a family disease,” the counselor responded. “You’ve suffered trauma based on his addiction. Every time that phone rings and you’re wondering who’s on the other end and what’s he got to say, that’s trauma, that’s a trauma response. His happiness is not your responsibility. It’s his.”
In January 2018, Tylertweetedabout his experience growing up with a struggling addict.
“As a child of an addict, I don’t think I’ll ever NOT be angry with him,” he said. “But that doesn’t mean I can’t love him unconditionally.”
