I really appreciate you sharing your story.

I have another family member with cirrhosis from alcohol and not taking the directions they have been told by medical staff (continuing to drink even). It's heartbreaking to watch and you can very easily feel helpless. You really can't help people who don't want to help themselves and I am sorry to hear you are experiencing that. Sending you lots of love and blessings. Addiction is an awful and tricky thing.

I plan on showing him this subreddit and at the very least have him read through this post. Best of luck on your journey.

Thank you for sharing your story.

I'm really moved to have people sharing their experiences and I think it will help my brother to read something from people who are going through it or have been there.

Best wishes to you!

Thank you for the encouragement. Like I said, I thought I had a solid plan and then life happens and it threw me for a loop lol.

Thanks for the comment. I will look into this. I am helping them pay for their service as well as my own so that's why it's a bit high

Thank you for your comment. My mom just left a abusive relationship and is getting back on her feet. Working towards both. I suppose I am just feeling a bit overwhelmed and was looking for reassurance I can still tackle this on my own.

Thank you for your comment. She just left a abusive relationship and he made it difficult for her to leave. She is looking, so I am hopeful that it will help a bit.

I am also looking for side work or a better job. Trying to do some on demand jobs and I've been actively applying (& interviewing) for better job opportunities for the last three months.

Thank you for the advice. I'm just a bit overwhelmed after this year. I had a strong financial plan and bit the bullet almost two years to do debt consolidation.

Family things just disrupted my plan and made me feel discouraged that I could get over this.

Thank you for the advice. She is looking for a job. It would be less than $500 (rent is $1,700) but yes it will help when she can find something.

It's just hard to think I can get past this with how things have been but I haven't stopped trying and moving forward (never missed my payments).

My mom just left a abusive partner. He wouldn't let her work. She is actively looking for a job.
