I just feel like i've just reached a point in my life where i need Jesus. I never thought i'd hear myself say that, but certain things are happening in my life and I feel like i've tried absolutely everything else and nothing seems to work.
My brother is spiralling into drug addiction - namely cocaine, and he is also, i suspect suicidally depressed. I'm so scared for him, and i feel totally paralysed, with no clue about what to do, or how to help him.
My relationship with my partner is definitely on the rocks. I find him cold and indifferent most of the time. I'm struggling with a 19 m/o every day, i feel like i'm giving and giving emotionally and then at the end of the day when i need love and support and reassurance i'm not getting it. Its like we've no idea how to relate to each other, the only thing we seem to agree on is the love we have for our daughter.
He is completely sceptical and cynical about my decision to take her to church. His reaction was 'no daughter of mine is going to church, i fundamentally disagree with all religion...'
sorry, i realise its long and complex, but i really needed to vent. i'm in tears as i write this.
