Journey,
Thank you for your prayers. I know God can move in amazing ways.
To answer your question...Yes, I have the majority of their living expenses paid right now. My baby's father is in school and working on his degree. He was getting his GI Bill from when he was in the Army,and it helped out, but it ran out recently. His current job only pays minimum wage, so it's not enough to cover his expenses, much less ours. But once he finishes his degree then he will be in a better situation. My brother hasn't held down a job in over a year. I live on the base, though, so my rent and utilities are covered. We are both part of one family with many dynamics. Its too complicated to explain in depth and besides most don't understand. But it's all good, God is working in our lives.

Ok, I didn't want to assume the wrong thing, that's why I asked. I was wondering, however, if the fact that you are financially invested there might cause resentment on your part when there are problems in the relationship. I'm sure there are many specifics in your situation that I don't know about, so I'm not judging, just wanting to ask if you've thought about it.
I do believe families should stick together and help each other, and it is admirable that you are obviously a generous person. But one can also enable a family member to continue making unwise choices by oneself taking responsibility for one or many aspects of their support, when it really should be their responsibility. And this can cause alot of resentment on one's own part. Just something to consider.
Father, I life up tk to You, please bless and guide her by your love and grace. Amen

| My wife is the same way. She is supportive of my recovery and not judgemental of me at all. She does not hate me for the addiction, she hates the addiction itself. Not only my wife hates the addiction, but she also hates some of the behaviors that come with it. One of the things how I know that she does not judge me is that I have told her things about me that I have and will never tell anyone else. She does not view me any differently even with that knowledge.
