I am currently 37 weeks pregnant (unplanned pregnancy) with my first baby with my boyfriend, and I have had issues with giving up substances during this pregnancy due to a multitude of factors. I need help with resources, counseling, anything.
We live in an isolated town in New Mexico, and I don’t have any friends here, nor do I feel comfortable talking about this with our OBGYN or Midwife, nor even do I feel comfortable talking about it with my friends/family back home in California because of the shame factor. Makes me retreat even more.
My boyfriend is an alcoholic, who did quit drinking at one point for 5 years, but now he is back on with his habit and it is a heavy habit, that includes drug use now. It makes it extremely difficult for me to deal with this issue, and I honestly am at a complete loss as to what to do at this point.
I appreciate your service, time, and attention to my email 🙂
Please help <3 Christina
you have to go back to your family, that is the only way at this point.
Accept the reality, approach the issue positively, don’t lean on your own understanding, but lift up your eyes to the Lord from where our help comes from according to Psalm 121:1-2- A song of ascents. During some circumstances it is good to sing. Songs sooth our souls. Lastly, know that a child or children are a heritage from the Lord according to Psalm 127:3 Children are indeed a heritage from the Lord. Praying for you my sister that the Lord will give you strength, vigor, wisdom, knowledge, and gratitude. In the name of Christ Jesus! Amen!
