[QUOTE="Beta, post: 751557, member: 22597"] JayPee, I'm so sorry. As you know from reading some of my son's texts, I know very well how hurt and rejected this can make us feel. It is nothing short of evil that someone would speak to their parent that way. It's very clear that God expects us to honor our parents, whether they are good parents or bad parents, and I think there are consequences when we do not. I grew up with an alcoholic mother and stepfather and experienced neglect and abuse, but I would never have thought to speak to them that way. Our sons grew up with love, and yet they think nothing of doing that. My son could have written the text from your older son. As has been told to me, in the end, we have to do what we can live with at the time we're dealing with it, but I think I agree with Albatross above. I would continue the cell phone, just because it may offer YOU some peace of mind, but I would consider not funding some of the other things possibly. As far as your younger son, a 26YO is not a child, and you are not obligated to provide for him (and I know, I have to tell myself this all the time because I tend to think of Josh almost as if he were still 18YO or younger). I'm glad you blocked him. I pray that the God of comfort and peace will pour out both on you right now. [/QUOTE]
