Help -

How do you deal with a son who keeps getting himself stuck and requires money to get home; or stays away for a day or more at a time - who is depressed, cannot get a job, will not communicate face to face, texts all the time, switches his mobile phone off when you try to talk to him - and does not seem to want to understand that his family do not have an endless supply of money.

This is affecting all our family and we do not know what to do any more.

Thanks, Regards, George.

With some.. TOUGH love? Our Father knows all about tough love.. maybe it's time to follow His footsteps on this one.

That being said, I have ZERO kids myself so...  ;D

arion:
I would echo what Alex said.  If he is an adult and is being just plain lazy or irresponsible then your not doing him any real favors by bailing him out.  You have done what you can and if your resources are stretched then boy is going to have to learn to make it on his own.  If he is still living at home then he has to live by your rules and you provide three hots and a cot and that is it.  No money for his phone or this, that or the other thing, ect.  If he has some mental health issues then he is going to have to seek counseling.  But above all else remember that God loves him more than you do and God uses the school of hard knocks to get our attention sometime of which I sure many of us can attest to.

God bless....

Joel:
I pray that God will let him see that he is being stubborn, and rebellious.

there is a lot of information missing here, maybe you could fill in the blanks.  how old is the son? what is his education?  are you divorce? what is his activities , friends ect...  does he do any drugs?  stop giving him money right away a BIG mistake parents make.  Kids don't need money they get into trouble with it.   boys need hard physical labor because of their hormones.  It help to settle them down.  It doesn't sound like you are taking control.  God teaches us through the natural things that the things we do  come back on us.  those are good lessons sooner a person learns this the better life they have and the people around them.  If he hung up on me i would not talk with him on the phone that means not or any reason.  Its rude and you don't want to train him to treat you that way  right?  walking is a wonderful exercise  good for the body?
