I'm Having a Panic Attack

I'm sitting here in uncontrollable tears barely able to breathe, as much as I vent about helping with the care of my family, the minute I'm without them I feel like my life is falling apart. My Niece took my Nephew with her to Washington she said for a few days, I love my niece dearly but she has not had very good judgement with men. The guy she's currently dating is not a very good guy. I'm trying to not worry but for the last two years I've been helping raise that boy, and now when we tell her that her boyfriend can no longer live here she is going to stay with him wherever. I just don't know what to even do.... Family have no real rights we just got to pray the parent makes good choices, and if they don't be ready to step in to rescue them if they don't. Pray for my sanity because all I can do is worry she took him away from everything he knows and loves for some loser guy, I hope somehow he still has fun and most of all I hope he's safe. I just wish she would be with someone who was actually good for her and her son. Maybe someday she will wake up.

You are right! The family has no rights at all and we could only pray. And when we are needed, we just have to be there for them. I feel what you're feeling. I had that same exact feeling with my sisters and brothers before.

How old is your niece? Please try and relax and breathe. Some things you cannot control. I know you worry; but she is going to do what she wants to do. Hopefully it won't bite her in the butt.

It is bad when children are caught up in their parents unwise decisions. Vitamin D3 should help lessen panic attack occurences.

I love my niece dearly I just question her judgment in men, she is a good mother when present but these idiots distract her attention not fair to her son

It's sad. Self-esteem will cause a woman to choose wrongly. I hope your nephew will be OK. Reach out occasionally and offer to take him once in a while. She may take you up on it eventually.
