You've probably heard the promises:

"I swear I'll change."

"You don't trust me?"

"If you loved me, you'd help me."

These are phrases many families hear over and over again — and it's exhausting.

In this video, we break down how addicts manipulate the ones who love them most, why it happens, and what you can do to stop getting caught in the emotional trap. This isn't about blaming or shaming — it's about understanding the psychology behind addict manipulation so you can finally respond with strength, clarity, and peace of mind.
