I had to make a choice and stop seeing someone that I love. They are not ready to face their personal demons and I could no longer be part of it. Its killing me, I am afraid for them, I hurt for them and my heart is aching. I love her and want to save her but she is not ready to be saved. I feel guilt for having to walk away. I love her and miss her, I wonder if I am doing the right thing?

Rhoma's comment is so important. Sometimes we have to walk away from a situation or person so we don't get dragged down with them. Hopefully she will find her way back to you to seek help with her problem. She knows you will help and she knows how to find you. You did what you had to do. Take care of yourself right now as you are in a vulnerable position. Trust in the Lord to guide you. You've done all you could to help her and it's out of your control now. God bless you. You and your loved one will be in my prayers.
Prayed! If it's what I think it is, she has to want it for herself. Tough love is unfortunately not going to work for her. But for your sanity, you did the right thing.
I also had to make the same choice recently…
I loved someone so deeply, to the point of prioritizing his needs over mine, and forgiving over and over even though there’s no evidence of change. He wasn’t ready to turn his life around and achieve complete healing. So I broke my heart in order to save his.
I have to believe that’s not the type of love God has willed for me, or you. God’s kind of love is perfect. Unimaginable. Out of this world. It is forgiving yes, but it also has self-respect and boundaries.
Only time can tell if we made the right choice. So hang in there and be patient. God’s still writing our stories. ❤️🩹
