      From ElenaNJ November 16

      i'm trying hard too to be kind, and available, respect as key. but it's hard, when i feel myself just wanteing to jump on them. and sometimes i have, but i've stopped, cause i don't want to give them any more ammunition. you know wat i mean? be strong, it's hard, definately harder then when they were babies, who woulda thought!!!!

      From Mommaofa15yroldboy November 9

      Thanks for sharing your story, it helps knowing i'm not alone. I really never realized how difficult it could be having a teenager. He was so mean this morning, it's just his tone and the way he says things to me. He keeps telling me that he can take care of himself, I don't need to make him breakfast or set up tutoring for him, he can take care of those things. My response was "great, that's how you become an adult and I support that, but you have to actually do the things you're suppose to and until you show me you can, i'll continue doing them for you." sometimes i don't know if i say the right things and if i'm hurting or helping. Another psychiatrist appt. today, I hope we can turn things around soon. :)

      Thank you for your kind remarks. I only was able to serve in the ministry for seven years until this mentall illness call OCD hit me out of nowhere. But God has opened this door of opportunity on DS to encourage and be encouaged. Good Bless and Keep You. My prayers are with you.

      Roger the Minister - verse

      For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (Joh 3:17)

      I can only send you my prayers and continually pray for him because I have not been in your shoes. God bless and comfort you.

      Roger the Minister - verse

      I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:20)
