I feel so helpless

[Ilovecartoons]

My family is falling apart. I feel like i can't do anything about it, i try and try, but nothing. In the outside it seems that its okay, but i try and stay away from home as much as i can. At least when my parents are here. I do this cause i feel theres nothing i can do to make my mom happy. Not thats its me making her unhappy. That hurts me deeply, and i run from it.
This might sound slefish, but it is how i feel. I feel tired, sad, stressed, i can't deal with it anymore, i'm getting impatient, i don't rest at night. What is making me so worried is my daughter. I love her and i do not want all these problems that have nothing to do with her to affect her.
I'm lost, i've lost all my strenght. I need help/advice, i need to rest but i dont know how.

Take it to God in prayer. He can help you.

Don't despair, you need to be strong for your daughter.
Trust in God, He loves you more than you will ever realize. He watches over you day and night.
There's always a reason for the pain we go through and maybe it's to strengthen you. Only God knows why. Trust in Him.
I will pray for you sweetie!

Sorry you are having these struggles. I've been through what seem to be similar ones, and a couple of things that have really helped are: Christian recovery groups (which include people trying to deal with deep problems of others) such as Overcomers Outreach, and Pat Springle's "Close enough to care - helping a friend or relative conquer codependency."

I'll pray for you, friend. Aloha in Jesus
