Hi Suze,

You misunderstood my response.

1) You don’t have any addictions but the reason I brought it up was because you wrote: “I’m seriously attempted to restart my old addictions (drinking & smoking) to escape the way I feel that there is no point to life”.

As you know, resisting any addiction (including drinking) is a lifelong effort because the demons can get triggered by any stressful life event. So, I just wanted you to be aware that it could become an issue under stressful circumstances.

2) Same goes for depression – in most severe cases, it is a lifelong effort to keep the demon away. The reason I mentioned post-partum depression is because in people with a prior history of depression there is a high probability of developing depression after having a baby.

Finally, I did not say your bf was going to leave you penniless – when I said resources I meant resources for emotional support.

I hope things work out for you.

God bless and good luck !
