[QUOTE="Star*, post: 521542, member: 4964"] I keep saying and have said for years - The last thing I did is the first thing I should have done, but being human I figured I knew more than the God that 'loaned' my kids to me -and well, (hehe) after all I AM the one that has him NOW right? (sigh) So this last go-round I said "Where ever you take him, whatever you choose to teach him, however hard it is, however harsh it seems? I will do my level best to BUTT OUT. But please remember I am his Mother, and I need help to do that. - And it seemed that day by day, and week by week it got a little harder for Dude, and a little easier for me, and then a lot harder for him, and a lot easier for me, and eventually I actually felt like I was making progress as a parent the day my son said "Momma, I'm sorry, I have really made a mess of my life, maybe God is trying to tell me something and I'm just not listening." Instead of "Yeah Mom well I don't think God knows who I am - the other day I told him if he really was God, to just strike me down with lightning while I was walking I tell him that all the time, and there isnt really a God, there were dinosaurs, caveman, then men - and us.....it's all a joke." He's come a long way - he's asked in the last month - for us to help him get mental help, counseling, prayer and he regrets not taking advantage of his therapist when he had him because he was a good man. I nearly fell off the chair. So there is hope - ALWAYS. Sometimes I think maybe The Almighty puts them in the worst places to make t hem realize whose boss. Not us, not them.....and when the message is received, and the kid is humbled? Progress. I hope for your sons sake this has been his process. No matter what it's been up to now......I hope this is where he's gotten to. Not to be preachy or anything - just sincerely hopeful and prayerful. [/QUOTE]
