A quote from Ryan Montgomery – “My mom once said to me, ‘I can tell you over and over to leave the situation, but you won’t until you’re ready. One day, you will wake up and realize that this isn’t what you want to feel like anymore and you’ll be done.’ And I think it’s important that everyone hears this.”
This is a great point in thinking about addiction and toxic relationships. Never give up on your loved ones, but always remember that you can’t force them to change. They need to want it for themselves. I had to accept this truth a long time ago when it came to criminals
. I can charge them with crimes and even put them in jail, but they will keep offending until they are tired of that life.
