So I came home yesterday surprised that he was there (no car) I had to take his brother to the skating rink so I asked him if he wanted me to bring him home something to eat. He said "no I want my car". So I told him we needed to talk about that and it appeared that he was still mad so...then he told me he would be at his girlfriends when I got back, and I left. I was glad he cared about his car, that gave me hope. He was still home when I got back (which again surprised me) and he came in and said "can I have my car back?" So I told him we needed to talk first. So he sat down and listened to what I had to say, and it appeared that he was just saying whatever he thought I wanted to hear to get his car back. He said he would do his chores and not be disrespectful anymore. I told him that if it happened again I would again take his car and it would be for a longer period of time, did he understand? He said yes, so I gave him the keys and off he went. When he came back he went to his room to play guitar. I went in to say goodnight and he actually sounded happier and genuine like my old son again. This morning he got up and took care of his dog but still required me to rouse him out of bed. We read the bible and I have to say this day is like night and day from yesterday.
BTW dayhiker, I disagree about him treating me the same if his dad were here. You don't know how it was. If he EVER heard them back talk or anything he was right in their face saying "HEY that's MY woman you're messing with and if you mess with her you're messing with me, so you want to mess with me?" Do I think THEY would have had conflict? Absolutely, but HE could handle it where I cannot. I told my younger son yesterday I hope he and I never have it like this and he said "we won't" and I really hope that's true but I won't hold my breath. He's not the angry one like my older son. The thing that did shock me in our conversation last night, I asked him if he loved himself and he said NOPE! I don't think that's entirely true, but it did shock me and now I know better how to pray for him. But today our family is in accord again and that makes me very happy. I'm glad that trial only lasted a week I could hardly handle it yesterday I was on the verge or in tears all day.

I hope while you have time to yourself you go out (if the weather permits) and reflect on the glory of God and the Beauty of your surroundings. Think peaceful thoughts and meditate on His word. We love ya!
