Maybe I shouldn’t tell this story

[@danaferguson462]

Addiction is everywhere. But by the grace of God there go I.

[@kathyprusak2762]

There are many of us mothers of addictive children. Mine is my oldest also a son. 58yr. On the addiction for 44 years 😢. I love him but can't help him from killing himself. So I pray. For all the people on the road. ❤❤❤

[@tolegalsec1]

Thank you for being so vulnerable Angela. I’m praying for Chad and your family!

[@materialmom-hz3wj]

Thank you so much!

[@dianegoldeneye7207]

My son is 47 and an addict. I raised his children for 18 years. It’s heartbreaking for the children and for us. 😢 prayers for all.

[@lindastrickland6232]

Lifting Chad and his family up in prayer.... Love and prayers to my friend Angela.

[@Tammyfuson]

I know how heartbreaking it is having a addict child. My daughter is a meth addict and in jail right now for not doing her outpatient rehab. At least while she's in jail her kids and I don't have to worry about getting the call that she was found dead. She has been living homeless for a few months. I'll be praying for you and your son.

[@carolynmcgee2886]

Praying for Chad, you, and your family! ❤️🙏

[@susandyce7974]

Thankyou for your very real heartfelt word …I am crying as I listen as I understand what you are going though My son has walked away totally from me because of his issues and my heart is broken I love both of my children with all my heart and knew I couldn’t enable his behaviour ….when I set a boundary he walked away from me We were so close when he was young and that makes it so hard I pray your son and anyone else’s child that is going through this heartbreaking time

[@martacheetham845]

I have a similar situation with my son. Prayers sent your way!

[@denisekozeluh5384]

Thank you for sharing…it is a compulsive disease…with no rhyme or reason..bless you and your family

[@IrishWilks]

Oh Angela, I am praying for Chad and for you and your whole family. It's so difficult for the family's of addicts to endure because there is no way to help...it takes the addict to turn it over to God and admit their powerlessness and need to rely on God to be released from the addiction. I'm sorry, it's so distressing. I'll be praying for him.

[@roslynhamilton2515]

Hi how are you I know what your saying my son is an addict and alcoholic they put you through hell my son is 46 I wonder where I went wrong he has lived under bridges and parks rings all the time for money I feel for you we are friends my heart goes out to you but there is nothing we can do pray ❤ Australia xx

[@lulasnest2215]

Lula'sNest I feel for you and your son Angela. Families who have lived this know about everything you've mentioned. It's heart.breaking but things get to a point where all we can do is visit the person(s) in the hospital and pray for strength. You're always a truth teller Angela, no bull patties. Thank you! ❤❤❤ .

I know how hard it is. All we can do is pray. If one day he wants to change he will. Thank you for giving your testimony to help others ❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@Bonnie20Michael]

Angela my heart goes out to you. I am the oldest of 10 children (now 71) my brother (#9) was just like your son. Unfortunately he did overdose three years ago at age 53 and passed away, addiction is a terrible thing. Everybody tried to help him but just couldn't "reach" him. My mom always said that she got her best nights sleep when he was in jail because she knew where he was....sad! Listen to you everyday (one of your first subscribers) keep up the good work Angela!

[@patriciaflood506]

Sending prayers for you and Chad Angela. I have been in your shoes. Thankfully my adult child is now two years sober but goes to meetings every week and we constantly pray that God gives her the strength to continue her sobriety. 🙏💜💕❤️

[@marywilliams7176]

So sorry for your pain, Angela.......

[@PumpkinPatchVintage]

Addiction is everywhere. When I was young, my older brother died due to overdose. He was alone and found several days later. It was a difficult time.

[@PralineQueen]

But God knows all our hearts and our tears are tears he saves in a bottle.. and he has every one of our hair's numbered and that means every person on the whole Earth. He's so much bigger than what we can think or even conceive,. One thing I learned with all this hard time are children go through us but there's still God's children, I'm going to be praying I always pray 🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰

[@vickismith162]

[@doreenc3223]

Praying for you and Chad...keep clinging to scripture..our God is more powerful than addictions...He alone can change Chad's heart

[@kellyweber627]

Praying for you and Chad🙏🏻 I know what you are going through. I had a family member that had this kind of life for 30+ years and has been clean for 4 years 🙏🏻 There is always hope, even when you think there is not 💕

[@bethbrown2780]

A wonderful video Angela. There are far more in the same condition as Chad than we can even imagine. Some are so good at hiding it. But you are right in everything you said. May God be with him as it seems He has been . I said a prayer for you Angela as I know the pain.♥

[@juliefizpatrick513]

Dear Angela:). I have experienced what ur going through from two very close friends. I did everything I could until I ran out of money. I was paying for bald tires and car insurance and any other excuse they used and did not find out the real reason for 2 years-addiction. I finally cut ties altogether. Every so often I get collect calls from a jail and I just hang up. I will pray for you, ur son and family that God will take over. Love you lots😊🤗♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@juliefizpatrick513]

Hi Angela:) My son bought me a diamond painting for an early Mother’s Day present cuz I have been telling him about all the things you do and how I wanted to do one so badly. We had dinner together tonight and he surprised me. I’m a bit overwhelmed as to the directions I read online about placing something heavy on it to make sure it’s flat etc. I know this has nothing to do with ur video today but was wondering if you would do a video on how you get the canvas ready-where you start ur pictures from-for example-top to bottom or vice versa? How you store ur “diamonds”-ur so organized I figured you must have a great system:)? The only thing I’m clear about is that you don’t remove the plastic covering all at once. I know I’m going to love it once I get the steps down:). I should catch on quickly cuz I was an expect at counted cross stitching. I have a good sized dining table to work on-do I do it right on the table surface or should I have something under the canvas? I hope you were able to see ur son and I have been praying for you. No rush to answer all my questions-thought it would be a good subject for you to teach us like you do everything else:) Will see you in ur next video. Thank you for being my video friend😊🤗♥️🙏🌸🌼

I am so very sorry Angela. I know when we have trouble with our children it is so hard. I will be praying for your son and you. Blessings!

[@judyarcher7706]

My youngest daughter was an addict. It is gut wrenching to watch your child just waste away and you have exhausted every means of help that they just DO NOT want. She passed away from fentanyl overdose in 2020. She was 33. I have her 3 children I have been raising since 2014. Prayers for your Chad. 💔💔

[@materialmom-hz3wj]

You will be blessed raising your grandchildren. They will love you forever

Thinking of you and your family. I understand what it’s like to love an addict and how helpless that feeling is. Fortunately it wasn’t my child but it was intertwined deep in my life and I suffered from it greatly. I hope your son gets it together and turns things around. I hope his heart is okay also!! Prayers!!

[@truciepetty9811]

[@teresa62ish]

So heartbreaking to see you cry and what you're going through. I pray for Chad and you to have some peace. I too know how it is. My son who is 34 years old, was driving drunk on a mission to get drugs. And crashed into a cement barrier on the freeway at a high speed. This was the first day restrictions were made about no visitors to the hospital, due to covid pandemic. My son ended up losing his right leg. 😢 It was so horrific. Years ago I gave it to God because there isn't anything you can do to change them. Happy to say he has been clean for 3 years now, he overdosed for a second time after his amputation and was on a ventilator and in a coma. The last overdose woke him up. He actually has a good job now as a boilermaker apprentice. I just always pray he stays on the right path, there are many triggers for an addict to relapse. Sorry this is so long. Just wanted to share my story. And again I pray for you and Chad and your family. 🙏🙏❤

[@susanpunako8590]

Oh Angela. I’m so sorry that you have to go through this with your son. Addiction is a terrible thing. It grabs onto a person and won’t let go. They have to really really fight hard to get through it and stay away from it for good. I have never been in or around any addiction but I feel bad for your feelings about this matter. You can only continue to pray and hope for the best for Chad. Blessings to you Angela.

[@tinareece3844]

I hope you find peace and your son gets help with the addiction, I have been on the receiving end of addiction with an ex partner that couldn’t give it up till he lost everything.

[@kimhoney9052]

Sending you prayers, my second husband was a wonderful person but was an alcoholic and I couldn’t even have cough medicine or mouth wash in the house. Needless to say we weren’t together for very long after I caught him stealing my pain medication after my surgery. I couldn’t save him and he couldn’t save himself. He died 8 months after our divorce. I loved him very much but it wasn’t enough ❤

[@materialmom-hz3wj]

I know what you mean. My alcoholic husband has so many good qualities and I loved him. But he was such a mean drunk. I knew something horrible was going to happen to one of us. So I had to get my kids away from him . I had to go into counseling to figure out why I loved a man who beat me up. I didn’t want to get married again. I was single for about 6 years until I met Jamie.
