Hi. My husband and I are deeply involved with observing supporting and encouraging our sister in Christ as she is learning how to navigate this situation exists inside her family. Her 20-year-old son, our nephew, is a nonproductive, unemployed, narcotics user, and alcoholic.
First time here. Struggling this Thanksgiving. Feeling depression coming on. Son is 49 in California & unemployed for nearly 2 years now. He's been trying to make it as some sort of futures trader. Now getting down to the bottom of his pit…no money left, not paying his debts etc. He has his vehicle he has been living out of. I could go on & on. He is on medication for bipolar & adhd. I’m in north carolina. So far away.
Oldest son is biracial, adopted, 33 yo with a fentanyl addiction, living on the streets in Phoenix without a cellphone or even I.D. We only hear from him when he can get to the library. Youngest son is 28 yo and doing well. We live in a small town outside of Atlanta, GA.
So happy to find this place! My son is 16 and struggling .My best friend has kids his age and it’s like honor roll! Omg track star! Omg so happy at prom !
I know I’m a bad person but sometimes I want to be like “ oh wow so happy for you !!!!”
Yesterday I finally said “ my son is almost at a 60 and MAY not have to stay back !!! “
She’s like 👀.
My envy isn’t cute …

I don't think it makes you a bad person to tell your friend to be more considerate. Otherwise, what kind of friendship is it if you are not there to support each other? I know I have many acquaintances, but truly, I have no friends because there isn't anyone in my life who's been there for me through thick and thin. Maybe I am too picky, but life taught me to be selective with people in the inner circle.
I just joined. Have an older daughter who is driving me crazy…demanding, yet demeaning. Ugh
