Wish My Son Would Re-Admit Himself
I am praying for your brother too. My son has a tendency to run from everything that he is facing too--employment, finances, etc. My counselor told me that I am slowly becoming an addict! Meaning I am doing nothing but focusing on my son to turn himself around. That scared me! I try to focus on other things, but then a phone call from him starts the pendulum swinging again. They say not to argue, moralize, blame, scold, preach to the addict. Well how do you tell them they need help? I think ignoring their behavior just encourages more of it, even though they know its wrong. Can I ask how old your brother is? I, as a mother, have the biggest fear that my son will still be lost when I am in my 70s-80s! If he lives that long.
