"This to shall past"


Some days are worst than others, I felt a little heavy hearted this morning when I got up. I stay in the grieving mode often because of my kids lifestyle and all the negative that goes with that. Not working, always broke. I let her clean for me weekly to help her out, she come over with 2 or 3 loads of clothes to wash, she may go to the laundry 1 or 2 times and she is back at the same old pattern of bringing them to my house. Today she asked me if I would give her a ride, she has no gas to get here, I said no, she needed to catch the bus. Yesterday they were out of food, and I took some food items over there. I'll see what happens, I'm thinking I'll have to detach & set firm boundaries like I had a few months ago before I broke down and let her stay with me for a short time when she was homeless. I have to surrender it to the Lord, my helper. ......Highlyfavored!

It's really hard to make those decisions when you know that causes someone else to suffer a litte but the fact is soemtimes they have to suffer before they will start to get better.

Sending you support. I hope you are feeling better. I know, for me, attending Al Anon meetings helped tremendously with the sadness. Take care!
