Bain - Again, thank you for your thoughtful letter. You have wonderful insight and a lot of wisdom! I think I knew what I had to do when I first posted. I was a little in shock, a little hurt and a lot disappointed. I was looking for a shoulder, some comfort, and a lot of what you have said. I...

Again, thanks for all the replies. I'm a little disheartened at some of the replies from folks who think that a parent's influence in the lives of their kids somehow ends when the young person becomes an adult. My Mom died a couple years ago and my Dad has Alzheimers - I would give almost...

Youbrace- Thank you for your reply. I need to clarify a bit. I am not - nor have I ever been a controlling mother. Our three kids have, for the most part, been good kids. My husband and my style of parenting is to provide guidance, but also not get in their way as long as they weren't making big...

I'm looking for ideas on how to organize a prayer journal. I'm ADD and have always struggled with prayer because I just can't seem to remember all the issues I want to talk to God about. While on the one hand prayer is conversation with God and should "flow naturally," it doesn't always work...

LOL! I've seen his place... he does NOT make his bed when he doesn't have to! He has his own place, so no Gunny looking over his shoulder! When he comes to visit, he has never made his bed, either. ANYWAY - I understand, I do, I get it - he's not a kid, he's an adult. But I don't see any age...

Hey Everybody - Thanks for allllll the warm welcomes! I'm anxious to start exploring the different forums.... altho I need to watch my time. While I have more time since I'm not working, I do have things that need to be done! Thanks again for all your blessings and making me feel welcomed to...

Thanks Suzybeezy! Your reply brought to my mind Proverbs 22:6, Train up a child in the way he should go and even when he is old he will not depart from it. Is 28 old enough? :-) God is faithful! I have committed this relationship to him from the time I knew our son had a girlfriend, but even...

Thank you so much everyone. I think I pretty much knew all this... it's good to have reinforcement. This has just really thrown me for a loop. Since leaving home our son has always attended church when possible, sought out and has been close to the Chaplains, been a member of Officers' Christian...

Hi Everyone! I just signed up... actually this is my 2nd post... I had a troubling issue that I already posted about on another thread... ANYWAY - I've been married to my best friend for 30 years. We have three adult kids - two married.... no grands just yet. I'm a homebody after working in a...

I read with interest the post by Suebu7 about her son who was sleeping at his girlfriend's house and all the great advice that followed. Our situation is similar, but our son lives on the other side of the country. He's 28, an officer in the military, and this is his first really serious...
