Lately, I’ve been finding myself feeling unexpectedly down. My three kids are all growing up so fast -- one just graduated college, one is starting a new job out of state and my youngest just got their driver’s license.

Dear Hurting: Loving someone does not mean enabling them. You have gone above and beyond, but addiction is a battle Brian must choose to fight. Giving him money, rescuing him from consequences and staying on call 24/7 is not helping. It is keeping him stuck with a disease.

We’ve helped him through rehab, paid his rent and even bailed him out of jail. I’ve held him when he cried, driven him to meetings and prayed for him.
