There is evidently nothing you are going to say to make your son change his mind. Your son can only take his queue from you as his parent. Even then he has to make his own decisions. I have 5 children and one was similar to your son in many respects. At 19 he rejected many of the values that we had attempted to instill over the years, and did it "his way". There was nothing we could do but pray and be there if he asked questions when he hit bottom. And he hit it hard, getting drunk, rolling his truck and breaking his neck. The paramedics got to him in time and he survived without any permanent injury, and today at 32, he personifies all of the values that we had hoped for. He just had to find out the hard way.

SOAP BOX - The greatest gift that the Creator gives to each of us, is the power to choose. The decisions that our children make, many times are very painful as we watch, and we would want to save them from the pain that they are experiencing. When they are small we can redirect their actions and keep them on the right path, but as adults we can only hold them safe in our hearts and minds. But in those painful experiences... they will (hopefully)learn. We have to be THE positive constant in our children's lives. If we choose to be the rock that is there when they come asking, the bond will once again grow strong. If we kick them when they are down, the chances that they will want to turn to us when they are in pain are slim and none. It is better to bite your tongue than say "I told you so", even though you want to tattoo it on their forehead. Pointing out their error is unnecessary, for they are living through it.

No one said that being a parent was easy... it can be very very frustrating and painful. Even the Creator had to watch as his Son was nailed to a cross.

I'll keep him in my prayers.

Yes, we as parents created individuals, not automatons. Rebelling is a part of many young people's search for that individuality.

i have been weeping for three days.... my son arrived up there and his uncle (28) wifes side took him to see his best friend in the hospital (car wreck) when they left he said my son didnt even make it to the car before he started crying he later called his friends that were in the car when he wrecked and apologized to them (im crying)he called me and we talked for 2 hours he said when he got out of the hospital a warm feeling came over him and for some reason he felt guiltier than he has ever felt and he asked god to forgive him (I can hardly see for tears)that was when he broke down and cried he wants to come home and be baptized !!!!!!!!! (HALALUYA!!!)praise and glory be to the most high for the mercy he has shown my family and MY SON Jesus is ALIVE!!!PRAISE HIM!!!
