Help! I really need a miracle in my life right know. My 181/2 yr old son has moved out because of the relationship with his stepfather for the last 11 yrs. My husband is not saved. He uses very harsh words to my and my son. He even uses physical violence towards my son and makes life threatening remarks. My son doesn't help matters much with his sarcastic unrespectfull remarks back. I know that my son is experimenting with drugs and is very disrespectfull to me. He has quit school and is fixing to take his GED to my dismay. He currently has a job. Now that my son has been moved out (for about 3 weeks), my husband can't keep from bashing him every day. That's normally the first thing I hear each evening when I get home. It's either about the money he owes his or about something he has done in the past. He's always downing him. I'm not condomming my son or anything like that. I know that he's made some serious mistakes in his life. But, I love him. He's my only child. He to is unsaved. I am going through so much with these two. I can't hardly make it through each day. Some how each day I receive inspiration from somewhere to go on. I am a beliver. I love my husband and my son. I have made it clear to my husband that I will not tolerate any more of the verbal abuse. He is truly a good person with this very bad flaw. He is only acting like his own father. Well I know this is long. But I had to get if off my chest. I'm ashamed to talk to my friends and family. They know none of the above. Pray for me for strenght and guidence. For my husband and son for their souls. Thanks.

Hi, Try getting a book called "Boundaries" by Townsen and Cloud. Get it at the Christian bookstore. It will REALLY help you and possibly your husband and son. If you want to e-mail me back directly, TGattino@aol.com Ted
