Eileen,as a parent also there is only so much one can do for adult children. To forgive is a fruit that all of us need to apply in our lives.

It sounds as though your son needs to grow up and treat his mother with due respect. I think the best thing that could happen for the both of you is that your 24 year old adult son was to move out and live on his own. Nothing in my experience made me grow up quicker than living on my own and not depending on my parents for life's necessities.

You do not have to be anybody's doormat. As hard as it might seem,show him the door. I'm sure that eventually your son will thank-you for it.


Peace...Mark

Yes, My husband is handling it now.  I have told him to leave several times but only in heated arguments.  He threatens suicide and he will be homeless, is that what I want etc etc.  I know it is emotional blackmail but it works and he knows it. 

My husband has given him a laundry list of things he must do and a timeline and a deadline.  He will have to follow through because I am just done.  I am seething as I write this because he just started to play his electric guitar which he knows makes my husband's blood boil.  As you know, my other son had cancer but this trial with TJ is far more taxing on us. 

Yes Arc, I believe our patience is being perfected.  I prayed all my life for patience and never thought this was the way it would be given to me. 

Please pray for TJ he is in mental turmoil and needs healing that only God can provide.

Thanks,
Eileen

Marlene:
That is a hard one when it is family. I will keep TJ in my prayers and you and your husband.

In His Love,
Marlene

Vangie:
Same here Eileen.  Prayers for your peace of mind, too.

Love in Christ,
Vangie
