Quote From: housewife376 I really understand your points. I have 3 sons. My oldest is very successful in his field. My sons are all different;- you could never tell that thay are related at all. My 24 yr old works full-time and has his own business after work. He does just great.--My other 2 sons are totally the opposite. I have a 19 yr old that bounces from job to job, and finally realizes that he must further his education to get anywhere in today's world-- And the 17 yr old is the youngest, and the total opposite.
In our town the first week of school just passed. He missed 2 days of school already, I had no idea until my older sons friends told us. I am really worried about the 17 yr old, he is so bright and he is throwing his whole life away. I started noticing chnages last year, when he quit basketball after playing since elementary school. He is a very gifted player. My 3 sons are extremely different all the way around. My 24 yr old, is a outstanding role model for the other 2 younger ones. I don't understand what went wrong with the other sons.
Isn't it amazing how they can be soooo different. I know there would be differences because of the different gender of my two kids, and because we are all the same, but whoa Nelly, how did this happen? I do a lot of praying:)) That is the only thing that helps me hang on and not worry 24/7. It does help that we now live 2 1/2 hours from each other. I saw him this weekend and as I was looking at him, I had the biggest sense of disconnection from him. I'm not sure I even know him anymore. I wonder if and when he will see the light. My prayer is that God will put someone or something in his path that will finally let him see the light. Nothing I have said or done has helped.
