My question is based on the fact that right now I'm dealing with my mother, who is a crack cocaine addict. She's recently hurt me greatly when she stole my childrens Christmas presents, to give away for drugs. My question is when a person is this addicted, are they a completely different person, or have they really changed this way for the rest of thier lives? I also ask if my mother has crossed the line, and is not elgible for my forgiveness? If I should forgive her, when would be the appropriate time?
