Yes. Lonely and scary. Its absolutely lonely, terrifying, and frustrating. You find yourself fighting for someone and against that same person at the same time.

I am the last man standing and I'm exhausted.

[laurasibley]

I left my person 2 months ago. Your videos have given me the support I've needed to get me thru this dreadful time. I'm still in shock and trauma from living like a crazy person WITH a crazy person for close to 20 years. I lived in total denial. Your videos give me both understanding and comfort. My person may never get better but damn it, I intend to recover from this one way or another.

I’m that last person in my Addict Sons life 😢😢 I’m a 64 yr old Mom and this is killing me

[megaexidor]

let them go down the drain by themselves! it will hurt, but well worth it. you can't make anyone care, but you can care for yourself.

Mom of an adult addict child, I feel so alone and lost. So absorbed with guilt, shame and hopelessness. Every minute of every day is thought of my child. This video really hit hard.

[e.t.phonehome]

It is a constant battle between my heart and my mind. It's like being in love with your best friend who is also your worst enemy. All rolled into the same person. Alcohol already killed him once. God gave him another chance. We had five good years together. He started drinking again two years ago. He thinks he's fine. I have major life decisions to make.

[tonimarroy]

Thx, you are so right. I have nights where I sleep 3hrs. I worry all night.

[MeByTheSea]

such wisdom for the desperate souls still standing... <3

[Mastersonforever]

I was the last man standing. My gas tank was empty. I took a break and in less then 8 days he killed himself. I would love direction to your videos that address this. I found one on Betrayal Trauma that was helpful. Even though he did the deed I did struggle with guilt he killed himself but I was reminded by friends all the time I forgave him and took abuse...there is no guilt its just so sad.

Amber everything you said is so so true .I'm a mom of an addict and the part about knowing when to fold is the hardest decision in my life . It is like telling my self that I have to not have no feelings for this person or hate them or pretend they are dead to me .I don't know if I could ever think in that way of my child .
Such a no win situation . And the mental and physical destress we go thru actuallyakes us look and feel as sick as the addict . I'm just so glad that the knowledge of addiction is spreading .might not be fast enough for me and my child but sure to help others that are in this early stage .thank you for a great and compassionate talk for me !

[debfreese]

OMG Finally after 25 years of my husband leaving coming back and numerous affairs I have some answers. And yes my mental state from all this has gone to shit. Thank you Amber.

[tinkershell]

11 years removed from the situation and I’m still thinking about it all the time! THANK YOU for this video! It’s high time I dump the guilt and move on. I won’t think about him for at least 3 days 😁 I will get my needs met every day ❤️

[SimonRichards-rnuf]

Thankyou, your the first person I've come across who can truely breakdown everything that I'm going through, and because I have trauma and was unable to regulate my emotions properly she has put a dv on me for being passive aggressive 😞

[cynthiamallon]

[shaileena]

Amber thank you for the exemplary love and patience you share with the rest of us. You have helped me feel not alone. Can't say thank you enough.😊

[hema]

Thank you Amber. Absolutely scary place to be when your addicted loved one, not loving with you and in another country and is not making contact. It is a terrifying place to be not knowing what is going on with them, what to do and thinking of all the worst scenarios !
