got it. ouch.;( Not much to do, I’m afraid, only to be there for her, loving and supporting.

In my experiences, I’ve found that relationships with these kind of people are often one-sided. It’s not so easy to always be the giver in the relationship who’s always loving, encouraging, and supporting (of the person, not necessarily the actions.) Especially when you sometimes feel like biting off her/their head from frustration, like, “What are you doing to yourself????”

It’s hard, kapusta. It really is. It seems to me that you have a very good heart, kapusta, and that you really, sincerely do care about her/them. I think that you have the strength in you do be able to do it.

Whatever happens, you must always remember this:

Hashem is running the world!!!

Everything you do for her/them does make a difference in some way. Sometimes it may take YEARS to see it, and sometimes you may never see it. Nothing that you did or will do EVER EVER EVER goes to waste. In some way, you have helped this person’s neshama. You can never know what state this person could be in, if not for what you’ve done.

Stay strong!
