towards people in my family. It seems the love was lost years ago through misunderstandings, ignorance, and spiritual degeneration. And, I don't think it's a sin to want to stop a toxic influence (even if it's from family) from poisoning one's life. Hopefully, a new kind of love will regenerate if he finds sobriety.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. The courage to change the things I can. And, the wisdom to know the difference.
