Emotion is a valuable tool. By adding emotions to our intentions we attach a rocket booster to our wishes and hopes. If a healing is needed, intend for that healing with all determination you have, sure of successful outcome and pray with zeal. The Bible tells us to “pray without ceasing.” That takes some zeal, doesn’t it! If success is what you seek, think positive thoughts with gusto and fervor. Put your back to grindstone and push with all your emotional power for that success. Be expectantly jubilant about outcome. Know it is within your grasp.

"We need not be afraid to touch, to feel, to show emotion. The easiest thing in world is to be what you are, what you feel. The hardest thing to be is what other people want you to be." – Leo Buscaglia

A Shaman journeys into Inner Worlds with a particular intent in mind and keeps that intent focused like an arrow. He goes like a hunter into forest very aware of why he is there, with a keen mind and heightened senses. He calls on his senses to aid him, including his emotions. He walks carefully on guard against any negative energies he may encounter. He is excited to see what he may find. He anticipates a successful outcome of his journey and he walks in love, always.

Love is strongest emotion in universe. It begins with loving yourself. We do not seem to love ourselves so much these days. We shut ourselves off from even that love as we hide behind safety bunker of not feeling anything at all. But when you can love yourself, really know what that means, then you can love others and not be afraid to stand up and show love for yourself, for your family and even for strangers. That is when power of emotions begins to really be felt. Magic happens when we reach out to others with powerful emotion of love.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality" - Earl Nightingale

Expressing emotions is natural and necessary to health, joy and success. Try as one might, gold medal can not be attained without emotions. Nurturing positive feelings and expressing them outwardly takes a wish and turns it into a promise. Using positive emotions and feelings as vehicles for intentions will make those intentions manifest in a sure and powerful way.

Options......

You do have them, and exercising them would be your immanent next step. You can express you displeasure that these behaviors have gone unnoticed for too long and that it is detrimentally affecting relationship, so it therefore must stop!

Moreover, you can verbalize this in a heart to heart discussion, and in understanding need for your personal mental health, give them an overdue ultimatum.

Separating yourself from this environment should be indicated if: You receive a flat-out no in your attempts to let them know that enabling is going to discontinue and their behavior is, also. If they refuse to receive any type of treatment for their problems or addictions. If effect of their negative behavior is obviously polluting any children.

Note: When children are in picture, normal and unaffected, much thought must be given before breaking up their home and often should be put off until they leave comforts of home.

This may sound like living in an internal prison, however, health of any child must be paramount! A sacrifice for betterment of any children cannot be overstated.

In addition, it would inevitably yield relationship more time to mend, as you continue your attempts to work on eliminating your enabling, and assisting your partner’s problematic behaviors to discontinue.

The main point to understand is that enabling someone to cyclically delve into their poor behaviors and addictions must be recognized with your own clarity and logic; then immediately discontinued in order for you and your relationship to maintain it’s health.

So ask yourself, is enabling worth it?....Undoubtedly you will come to realization, it is most definitely not.
