Do you feel unconnected to your Son?

I don't feel unconnected to him, but I do think it had something to do with the path of self-destruction that he was on. He was born before I was married so I was a single parent for 19 months and probably had some of that post-pardum stuff going on plus I was working. So he never had my undivided attention and I was less patient. My husband adopted him when he was a baby. But we had two other children and they benefited from being born into a two parent home and I was better prepared too. I just want to give him what the other two had as babies.

I see...
I also was a single parent. I had a Girl and didn't marry until she was 15 years old. I guess we both understand why two parents in a committed relationship is essential to the development of children. Marriage first and then having children isn't just a rule for the sake of a rule. It has an effect on others!
I have responsibility for my daughter growing up without a "Dad". But I also know that, some that have a "Dad" are in Hell. Eileen...I know we did the best we could, we just didn't know any better, even if we were taught right. Your Son was meant to be here and is important to God's plan. God chose you to be his Mom, and God doesn't make mistakes!
I believe all the sins we commit go back to the garden asking God "I'm I my Brothers Keeper"?
The answer is Yes....we are all one...what I do to others, I do to Jesus,...what I do to others, I do to myself.
Like Ray says....cause and effect...ahhhh but then there is his Grace!
We are all here learning what Love is together...

Thanks OBrenda. It's good to know someone who was in the same situation as myself. It's funny you should mention God's plan in all of it. When I was pregnant with him, almost 23 years ago, I was uncertain of what to do. Abortion was never an option, but I was encouraged by family members to consider adoption. I really prayed hard and asked God to show me which way to go. I swear He told me to keep the baby for myself. Obstacles to being a single mother were moved out of the way. I've always believed that there must be a purpose for all of it. I've never known what, I mean I could surmise many effects resulting from having him. Like I don't think I would have ever met my husband if not for all that occurred before I met him. You know? My son has been a mess these past few years and he seems to be on his way to recovery and I can't help but wonder where all this is leading. But if the past is any indication of the future, I guess things are all for the better.
Thanks for sharing your past.

Hi! Eileen and Brenda
Thanks ladies for sharing your sad problems but you are not on your own it all goes back to when man thought he had a free will to do as he wished in everything including morals. With his assumed free will he broke every code of conduct including that of morality. Now God is showing the world the consequences of daring to try and defy what His Will for man is. Man's supposed free will has unleashed on the world a monster in the form of unruly, disobedient, uncouth, uncontrollable and rebellious children and a decadent society.
" 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25 For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." (Rom.!:18-32).
God bless you sisters in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus.
