What do you do when someone you love has a terrible addiction? What do you do when you see that person losing themselves.. traveling down a path you may have walked not too long ago? What do you do when they curse you till they're blue in the face and tell you that you've already lost them, stay out of their life? Are they a bad person for not considering the well being of the people who love them and how their problems may affect us? What am I supposed to think, are they selfish? Does that make me selfish for thinking that?? Does it make me a bad person for not understanding?? How do you love someone who does not love themselves?
The worst part of it all is after days of not speaking what do you do when they apologize? A heartfelt half apology, they still aren't seeing it from the other side yet. They don't see how anyone else has been affected yet because they haven't crossed the line from acceptance to recovery.
What do you do when you see your mother falling, do you stop and catch her? Or shouldn't that be where someone else is standing...
