Pray for my household and especially my mother

My mother is a really bad alcoholic. She abuses her drinking and mixes pills and relaxation pills with her drinking. It says on the bottle to strictly not mix the two together. The hardest thing is she doesn't want to admit she has a problem and she isn't being honest with herself. She says that she prays but she needs to be honest in order for God to help her. Shes been living her boyfriend since I was like 5. They still haven't married and yet they scream and yell at each other and sometimes I believe Tom takes advantage of her. I have gotten in fist fights in the past with Tom when I was in high school. Swearing and hatred flows in this house and I feel like I'm the only one that has reached out for help. But I want me mom and Tom to get help as well. Sex before marriage is also not righteous. Yet they think since they live with each other for 7 years or more that makes them marriage. That isn't proper marriage. It's as if they become so sucked into this world and its customs and rules. I also hope they can quit smoking. I feel the Lord working in me. However, It's stressful to try and reach out to them when they don't want help.

Thanks for posting this brother, I'll be glad to pray for you. Just a little advice, try not to feel as if their lives are your responsibility, you can't carry that weight. God bless you! -JIM

May they look for the Light in the darkness so they can walk away from these trials that they use only has false comfort in their distress.

May they be comforted and guided in the name of Yahvah God and Yahshua the Messiah.

Praying in Jesus's name in agreement with all here for you , your mom and all you ask.

God bless

I am sorry to hear that.

I have something very important to tell you, just in case you have not realized:

It is not your fault, nor is it your responsibility. - Your "job" is to pray, live as an example and love.
my understanding is that they know the bible, so they then know what the bible says is right or wrong, and it is up to them to sort it out.
Do keep praying, but don't ever think it is your responsibility to set them straight, all that will do is hurt you.
Fight with prayer and love, love always wins in the end.

You have been given great advice from the other posts
I'm agreeing in prayer with you and the others.
I also am praying for God to give you wisdom and the peace that surpasses understanding.
In Jesus Name, Amen

Praying for your peace and strength as you pray for them and God's Spirit works on them. May the Lord bless and keep you.
