In some small way, I’ve been in your shoes, with my own flesh and blood no less. Until I was ready to accept that I might one day get a phone call from a complete stranger telling me that my loved one had committed suicide, I enabled him just like you are doing. You think you are helping him. You think you are being loving and caring. You are not. You are preventing him from hitting bottom, which is where he needs to hit before he will ever get true help. Pray for him to hit bottom, so that the real Lifesaver can help him. You must stop enabling him. He is drowning, and he’s taking you down with him. I will add you and your friend to my prayer list. God bless you!
We’ve been doing the “Hard Love” for 15 years.
Thought he was ready.
It’s a great life if you don’t weaken.
It even harder if you’re not tough and life’s not for tough people
