Teenage son is breaking my heart
Your Son is acting like this because he is in a lot of emotional pain. He is hurting and is lashing out at you, he is angry and blames you or is taking it out on you. I'm not sure if it is his Dad that is poisoning his opinion of you but until that pain is gone, nothing will get better. I feel likeRead more
Your Son is acting like this because he is in a lot of emotional pain. He is hurting and is lashing out at you, he is angry and blames you or is taking it out on you. I’m not sure if it is his Dad that is poisoning his opinion of you but until that pain is gone, nothing will get better.
I feel like you should sit down and just listen, no arguing or judgment. Just you and Him and say, “I love you, I’m sorry if I hurt you. Please talk to me about how you feel. I hate how our relationship is right now, I want it to change.” And then listen, if he scream that he hates you or something, then just ask “Why?” And then listen, if he believes something that is wrong then correct it, if you did something then apologize, give him a hug and comfort when needed.
Honestly, listening, and love can go a long way especially if he is an older child and wants to be independent. If he does not want to talk or pushes you then he is not ready for this and there is nothing you can do. Just pray and let him know you love him 🙂

Yes, gluttony is a sin . So is greed and the love of money. So many things we don’t even realize we’re doing are sinful. I had a friend who was constantly criticizing a colleague who smoked , yet that friend was obese and addicted to food. We’re all guilty of sinning. What bothers me so much about your post is the way it comes across. The comment “We need to start treating these people the same way we treat drunkards” comes across as cruel to me. Self righteousness is a sin also. Take care. “These people” ? We can speak the truth in love. Gently. And who of you have never been a glutton and overseen at a special event or holiday at some time. I know you mean a lifestyle, but it still comes across badly . Yes , it’s a sin. But so is pride.
