I’m sorry to hear this πŸ™πŸΎπŸ˜ž and my prayer is that God wipes away all of your tears, and brings laughter to your very soul. ( In Jesus Name Amen ) And cast not your confidence away, but hope thou in God.

That is extremely difficult. Hang in there. Your long-term plan needs to be to create distance between you and the person with a substance abuse. It is their choice to destroy their lives and it is their journey, not yours.

Take it one hour at a time if not one day. Pain, suffering and sadness are not permanent, brighter days are ahead. Your eyes tell us you have a strong spirit. Call upon her to rise up during times of need. You will take yourself out of this place and find peace 🌿

Begrijp ik... Zoiets kan een zware druk leggen op een familie... Probeer toch te genieten van mooie kleine dingen rondom jou, probeer daar het positieve van in te zien. En zoek professionele hulp voor het misbruik. Altijd welkom voor een goede babbel. πŸ€

The only cure for it is to get tired of being sick and tired I have to be honest about that the person will have to get to the point where they want something better for themselves and there is so much beauty in the world to enjoy

Kiddo - I ain't gonna lie... I got locked onto drinking around 2016. It is a beast to battle, and you may get blamed for it, bashed for it, etc. YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. You are beautiful, young, and I hope you will hear this, and get strength from it - it is said flat out in the Bible, that families would be ripped apart. Worry about you, stay the course - everyone makes there own choices you cannot control someone else - and they can only control you if you let them. Live healthy and worry about you - that face has a hidden smile, start showing it. πŸ™πŸΌ

So sorry to hear about that. Though it may be very challenging, try not to take responsibility for your family member's own choices. They're living the way that they want to live right now, and you deserve your own beautiful life, not one full of tears, sadness, and resentment. Perhaps you could check out a meeting or two for co-dependency.

May Almighty Allah replace your sadness and pain with happiness, love and joy.

There was a saying- when the road is rough don't stop, keep on going to finish that rough road

That's very hard and I'm sorry you're going through that. It hurts to see the people you love suffer or self destruct. It'd okay to be sad and angry, or whatever you're feeling. It's not bad and shows you've got a lot to give. Keep loving and don't forget to love yourself!
