You sound like you've been hurt by a manipulator
Quote From: kaziniaJoni is a master manipulator. I knew she was full of it when she was on the show rescuing people ... maybe so she could be back on the show? I thought Dr. Phil was smarter than this. She is a health care professional ... who is she kidding? Ultram? A prescription pill addiction that moved up a few notches to snorting heroin? Give me a break. She is in denial and Dr. Phil is, too. jcb I don't think Joni is any more of a manipulator than any other addict. There are MANY health care workers who are addicted to pain meds. And.....Addiction is a disease of Relapse. Joni relapsed! Denial is also part of this mental illness. I don't think she BELIEVES that she is really powerless. I don't think she did this on purpose. It's embarrassing to relapse. I have a daughter who is in recovery and a mother who has been dry for 19 years. I feel your pain. It's hard to ever trust again! But........Don't let someone else's illness take YOU down. Just because they try to manipulate, doesn't mean you have to be manipulated.
Good wishes to you.
