[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749106, member: 18958"] Hi JPG. I read your signature again, and felt a kinship with what you and your sons are going through. I am reading right now a spiritual book in my faith, and it's about how every adversity, every moment of despair, the deeper and darker it is, is a challenge from G-d to turn towards the light. I forget with my son to think of his suffering in this way--that this is the way G-d calls him. I am not saying I should not help my child. I want to help him. What I am saying is that the Hell they go through (and us with them) presents doors to a deepening of wisdom and faith. I am not proseletyzing here. What I am reminding myself here, is that suffering is necessary for growth. I don't know if your sons held their breath when they were toddlers, or threw fits. We would certainly not indulge that behavior in toddlers. Why would we do that with grown men? Sitting outside in a blizzard texting Mama, is a fit. You CAN'T give in to that. For him as much as for you. I am sorry this is so hard. But I don't see another way. Take care. [/QUOTE]
