It is not easy to be grateful sometimes. Even being content is difficult sometimes. Joyful seems totally out of the question.
Right now my step-son is back on drugs. He is wanting to go back to Michigan. His dad calls it running away.
I'm not sure why he wants to go there. As far as we know he has no place to live there...and with winter coming on being homeless will be dangerous.
In any case he is not listening to any suggestions we make. He wants things his way.
He still thinks he is in charge. Till he figures out that he isn't...there is not much anyone can do for him. We have tried.
His dad is having a really hard time with being content in this situation. He wants desperately to be able to help his son.
Please say a prayer for both of them. And me. And anyone else stuck in situations like this. These days there are probably lots of people in similar situations.
