Those Who Care the Most

Those of us closest to the alcoholic suffer the most, and those who care the most can easily get caught up in the behavior of another person. ~ Al-Anon.Alateen.org/more-questions-newcomers-ask
Strength of character,
comprehension, perception, empathy.
Character traits, positive all.
Yet strong points make vulnerable targets
when we find hurtful people, users, abusers
and love them, want to bring good,
to comfort the miserable, to sooth beasts.
Love hurts, can subjugate the host
to hate. But love conquers, survives,
when we understand what's beyond our reach
and what is not.
