Lisa Wenninger-Speaker/Writer-Faith, Family Addiction, Mental Health
I play the 'forget game' to move on. Forget what they did, forget what they said, forget the pain, forget the abuse, forget the porn, forget the drinking. I work so hard to forget, I never allow myself to heal.
I could not reach my child and carry her into the healing recovery she deserves.
When I am bound by bipolar, I fear movement. I cast this unimaginable shadow over myself that darkens with each passing day. I proved this earlier this month when I looked out my office window and noticed the sun.
Trigger. It’s a word we fear far too long. But we know the consequences of addiction. So, we walk on egg shells and stay silent. We fear everything. Hospital, jail, or death. It takes a long time to accept the consequences of their addiction. Letting go is the most tragic and difficult thing a parent will have to do.
"Lord, do I have enough in me to handle this"
Love is NEVER in question. Our beloved family members lost in this world of addiction are ALWAYS loved.
Self-reliance apart from Christ, is prison to self. We were freed from that long ago.
This Christian momma is tired- but here sits another experience in the travels of addiction. I learned it can’t be me, I can’t save, fix, or carry the weight of an addiction I don’t have.
Stress is powerful. My physical health suffered as a direct result of my emotional and mental collapse. I was sick. I dealt with blood pressure issues, stomach problems, migraines, aches and pains- ALL from fear and anxiety associated with an addiction I NEVER had!
The best question I read was, “Where do I end and the other person begins?”
