• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hello I'm in need of advice

Time for some tough love. If he refuses to go to school kick him out. Call the police and have him removed. He will come around sooner or later.

It's time for a restraining order and you have a good reason to get one because he abuses you. Abuse can be mental or physical. No one should have to put up with that from a child. Maybe after he's out on his own for a while he will be singing a different tune -- hopefully.

I would waste no time he is so used to treating you this way that it will probably not get better and only worse.

It's sad I know but let him go for a while

You need help, you can't do it on your own, family is the least able to help in these situations and professional help is needed. Some times the best thing is not helping, but letting his actions take their course and consequences. Many have said it took losing freedom to become free of the addiction, it just takes force and family loves too much and doesn't have their respect to accomplish this. Pray and seek someone for both of you to counsel with and do what it takes to save his life and yours, even if it's the toughest thing you've ever done. <3
