Authentic Stories Sharing His Authentic Love
Families choose to disconnect from addiction for various reasons- usually justifiably. They do not need guilt or shame for that heartbreaking decision that probably came years and years after trying to do all they could to help.
Because I do what I don't want to do in hopes of having things my way.
So, please remember there is a woman out there like me. She’s wearing so many hats you can’t see her face anymore. She’s juggling so many balls she may never look away and see you. If she does, you won’t be able to handle the subsequent crash.
