hubbarddebra99 View Profile History	leave him to the Lord? Posted : 31 Aug, 2015 01:47 PM My son is a VERY unpleasant, unhappy, person. He was raised by my parents, and was spoiled from the time he was very little. I would argue with my parents, about letting him do as he pleased. Now he is an alcoholic/drug abuser, who has lost his wife, children, home, everything but his job. I pray for him, but really feel very little sympathy for him. We are Not close, and lately he has been so unpleasant to me, that I would rather avoid him. I feel he was taught differently, and has made his choses. Talking to him when he's like this is a waste of time. Am I wrong to feel this way? Post Reply

Posted : 31 Aug, 2015 10:47 PM My sister, honestly your "feelings" are just that...how your emotions are telling you to respond to such disappointment, such heartache especially when it derives from someone you love!! I feel your despair, but from what you've described, all that you might be able to do for your son at this time is to be there for him if and when he needs you, pray unceasingly God's will upon his life and not allow guilt for what you can't change, gain place in your heart!! He's an adult whose obviously making adult decisions, whether there good one's or not!! He will have to deal with the consequences of his actions, though unfortunately there maybe those who love him getting hurt!! Praying for The Lord to strengthen you, his wife, children and family during this difficult time, can no doubt bring comfort and peace for all!! I truly pray God's wisdom and rest to you and yours in this challenging time and for ultimately the deliverance and healing of your son...in Jesus Name I pray, Amen. May God's goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life... Post Reply

I do pray for my son, his ex-wife, and especially my Grandboys. It's a sad thing. At least my son is helping his grandfather, so I know he still has heart. Thank you all. Post Reply
