Helpless

I hate it when the people I love make bad decisions. I hate it when I know that those decisions won't bring them happiness and that making those decisions will bring them even further unhappiness. I hate watching it happen and I hate that I can't do anything about it. Because it's their choices and it's their lives. Even though I KNOW it's wrong. I kind of had a glimpse of what our Heavenly Father must feel but on a much smaller scale. Watching the people you love make bad choices but not being able to do anything about it. It also makes me think about my little girls. I pray that they will make the right choices in their lives. I hope with all my heart that they do. I want so badly for them and all of my family to be happy and I guess all I can do is pray and hope that they will make the best choices in their lives.

Yup! It's always hard to stand back and let others suffer the consequences of their actions. Not a fun thing. However, as long as YOU stay strong as an example to the others, perhaps your actions will have a positive affect on them. Don't know who or what, but you seem to be concerned.
Keep the faith!! We love you.

I hear you. It hurts to not step in and change things for people who are making a mess of thier lives. I hope whatever is going on with someone you love works out and they come out of it without too many bumps and bruises.
