If nothing changes...
My younger Son (qualifier) has been making great strides
in finally acting like an adult. He's been running a little late
in doing it (35), but better late than never. I posted earlier
that he had finally gotten his own condo.... He saved money
and went about it in all the right ways, my only contribution
was to help get his power turned on.
I got a call from him yesterday and while he was working
(graveyard shift) his condo was broken into and the only
things they took were a shot gun his Dad had given him
and $800 in cash. He had been doing so good not drinking
or gambling and was actually acting mature and now this.
I guess for some, it doesn't take much to send them back
to the bottle and this was his excuse. He called me from a
bar and was totally blitzed and so upset over the whole thing.
I offered to give him a ride over to my house until they
get the window fixed (the one they broke to get into the house)
He refused....
There's nothing much I can do.... I know it's not my job to
try to "fix" the situation but I do feel bad for him because he
really was trying this time around. I suppose that's just the
way life is, we have situations come up that test our faith and
resolve. Our job is to stay on the journey, there are always
going to be storms but if you go with the current you'll make
it though safely.
Please keep him in your prayers.... SG
