Disciple of Prayer
We are separated. Her son (my step son) died in a motorcycle accident almost 2 years ago. We found his body along side the road. We were already having trouble before it happened. She began drinking even more than before and using prescription drugs. We fought all the time. She was drunk and became violent at times. I left but still try to be friends with her and help her. She isn't eating. Lost so much weight. Stays in bed as many as 15 hours a day at times. Her body has atrophied. The grief is over whelming. The house is piled up with clutter. Almost un liveable. I have tried to reconcile but the drinking and her grief and anger is too much. I don't know what to do. She has tried a counselor but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Just basic human compassion I hate seeing her this way but I can't live there with her. She is unstable yet hurting so bad. There are no words I can offer that help. She has watched Joyce Myer but I don't think she is reaching her either although she tries. She ordered her book and videos. God please help this woman, please. Whether our marriage makes it or doesn't its hard seeing her this way. And her 80 year old mother is depending on her too.
