And I’m sorry for the times that I have held you to a standard that was unfair and rigid. Thank you for doing the best you could for us. I love you so so much. ❤️

    I met this wonderful woman of God, when I joined Teen Challenge an alcoholic and homeless for 4 years, I went to the Nakuru campus. I finished the program on Oct 22, 2019. I want to honor her and her team for guiding me to Christ. Am now free from addiction because of Jesus Christ, thank you so much Emily, and may you be abundantly blessed by our Heavenly Father, His Son, and His Spirit 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
    Finally, we Give All the Glory and Honour to our Heavenly Father, His Son the Risen King and Messiah, and also His Spirit, forever and ever.

I noticed this when I used to come to your house in Galleria to tutor Dora. I watched with empathy the emotional struggles you had and the extent of addiction the dad was in every morning I came. There is power in Prayer. Keep praying for Dr.Obwaka, God will answer your prayers.

    I hope young people pay attention to this woman. You can never turn back time.
    My sister and her husband are both very educated and have always had good jobs that have taken them around the world. But they sacrificed time together and with their kids. They've been married for almost 30 years, but they've only lived under the same roof for a total of 4 or five years. Their children went to prestigious boarding schools in Kenya and abroad but during the holidays they would be home with nannies or our mom or siblings . The impact on their kids is just unfolding. I believe that children need us more than they need things. My parents have been gone for many years but the only thing I remember is the time's we spent together, not the nice clothes or things they gave me. I try to invest as much time on my daughter as possible, its the one thing I'll never regret.

      ​​​@@MaureenOkore And please pay attention to your teens. Listen to them, hear what they need rather than just leading them the way you want. Ask them for opinions on things regarding their life, even if you will ultimately provide leadership in the path they take. I am still bitter at my parents for ignoring me 16 to 19 years ago, when I wanted them to just pay attention to what I was saying. I saw them invest time and money in their jobs, farming, and their education, but ignored my needs, yet prioritising those of my siblings. Every child matters, even the most brilliant and strongest one in the family. May God lead you.

    My takeaways
    1. Allow people to live the life they have chosen
    2. Allow people to reap the consequences of their actions
    3. Do not die in an abusive home trying to save your marriage
    4. Things dont go wrong, they start wrong.
    5. Forgivess doesn't mean getting back together
    6. Seek forgiveness from your children when you fail.

      Alot of these issues stem from being co-dependent. African families are notoriously codependant and associate it with love and nurturing but it is a toxic trait that stifles emotional and psychological well-being!

    Having lost someone so close to me through alcohol addiction drained me and changed my mindset. Its so hard to help someone, rehabilitate them, watch them relapse, watch them sink deeper, watch them not eat to a point of seeing them hallucinate and watch them die as they wished is traumatic. Its so hard to help soneone who has given up. Im so glad your daughter healed because the self blame and i wish i could have done more eats the ones left behind like a plague

      Pole my sister. I can totally relate. My ex and dad to my daughter was an alcoholic, I tried to help but couldn't save him. He later developed other health issues related to alcoholism. He passed away 2 weeks ago. I'm in so much pain, wondering what I could have done differently so he could be here to see his daughter grow. It's a tough journey 😢

    I can relate, especially on loving someone who continues to walk on self destructive paths, addiction and abuse ... I haven't seen my daughter for more than two weeks now, I have no idea where she is and it has become a trend now ... The pain, the guilt and the fear is depleting. Thank you for this show and to Emily for being vulnerable and giving those of us in such situations hope.
    I know one day, the sun will rise again and my daughter will be restored 😢

    Wow! Mrs Emily Obwaka, @62(my age mate) you look absolutely amazing and incredibly purposeful. I worked with your hubby them days abd I can attest, at the time I knew him at the ministry of Health, I did respect and appreciated his humility. Maybe you were under the same ministry in early 80s. You have brought up and raised not only beautiful , but equally phenomenal. God's grace has been sufficient for your your family. That's the simplest way I can put it. I affirm you Mum.

    Am shocked ,I listened to your family testimony years back on hope FM 😢
    And Mr obwaka beside you has a changed man ,it was a powerful testimony on how God has delivered him and he talked so highly of you,he was even planning to get into politics😢
    I even used to pray for my marriage using you like an example of if God can do for you ,He can do for me too
    Am so sorry pastor Emily you have seen hell on earth
    But we thank the lord He saved your daughters
    May God protect them for your sake
    You braved every Tuesday to answer our questions and pray for us yet your own life was a mess full of pain
