As tough as tough love is to give, it causes "capable" people to grow from "their" choices. The enabling stops and God can reveal the life lessons He can teach you both through "their" decisions. So resist the temptation to play God. Trust those humans to God with your support, love, and compassion and watch the spiritual growth. Here's what Jeremiah 29:11 has to say for all of us: "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. Plans for good and not disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

When you hope your joy returns! You also tell on yourself when you choose to hope. You reveal your faith to the world and remind yourself that you're willing to keep on keeping on! So below see Romans 15:13, put in 1st person just for you! Say it out loud, release your faith that God is working in your life and go on doing the next right thing with an expectant attitude. "God gives me hope & keeps me happy and full of peace as I believe in him."
