What your children are doing is not a reflection of you. My 20 year old son is a recovering heroin addict and believe me he didn't get his behaviors by following our examples. It took me a long time, but I know now that they were his choices he made for his own reasons and he has to own those choices, not me. I never did heroin, I never stole and pawned my parents belongings and stole every cent my brother made growing up and I certainly didn't teach my son to do these things.
I hope you can see that you didn't cause where your children are, they chose it.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference, Amen!!
This seems to be something many of us need this week.
