"I am not a babysitter or a mother and no woman should feel that they need to be. I have cared for him and tried to support his sobriety & prayed for his balance for years (and always will of course) but shaming/blaming women for a man's inability to keep his sh** together is a very major problem," she said, calling her relationship with Miller "toxic." "Let's please stop doing that," she added. "Of course I didn't share how hard or scary it was while it was happening but it was. I will continue to pray from the bottom of my heart that he figures it all out and that any other woman in this position does as well."A source told ET following Miller's death that Grande was "devastated." “Although the two ended their relationship, Ariana always shared a deep connection with Mac and wanted nothing but the best for him," the source said.
