[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 652101, member: 3493"] LMS - I am so sorry that your heart is hurting. I am Jewish but don't Christians say "Judge not, lest ye be judged?" Sounds like your son is lining himself up for some judgment from his higher authority and possibly the authorities here on earth with his drug use. I know that you have referred to your relationship with G-d in the past and the comfort it has brought you. Don't let your son and his daughter try to make that into something bad. There are zealots in all religions. H and I moved to a new town when our kids when young, in large part because the Orthodox in my community (who were an overwhelming majority) judged me for being married to a Catholic. I didn't care what they felt about me but when it began to affect my kids, I moved. Ironically, they all LOVED H! and he still visits friends there! There comes a time when we, as parents, have to live for ourselves. You owe your adult sons nothing, not even love or like. I know it's hard but the effect of failure to do so is to be like my mother-in-law, who is 90 and still supporting and getting drugs for her 61 year old pill addict daughter. My suggestion is to take a break from your sons for a while - set a date and on that date, contact them or better yet, have H contact them. Let them miss you. During that time, have fun at the casino once in awhile, though do try to give up the cigs! S [/QUOTE]
