Dear Mom and Dad,
Do you have a teenager and/or young adult who is dealing with alcohol, drugs, disrespectful to house rules and parents, rude & confrontational, anti-social, hangs out with unhealthy friends and who are consistently making poor choices that could someday lead them down a path of destruction?
Guess what, you're not alone. Each year thousand of families just like you go through lots of teenage and young adult rebellion that ultimately puts lots of strain on the family unit and causes unnecessary pain.
"Most families try to deny that there's a problem and are willing to go out into the community using fake-happy smiles as if all is well, but it's not!"
~Teenagers & Young Adults Go Through Stupidville~
My first advice is to ask that you give your child and all his/her stuff (goofiness) to the lord in prayer. Secondly, don't think it's your fault. It's happening next door and across the street as well. Thirdly, reach out to someone who you know, trust & believe will keep your family's business private. If it calls for it, don't be embarrassed to seek a higher level of intervention (counseling and/or police department who will work with you on behalf of saving your child). But whatever you do, don't allow your child's negative behavior to continue inside the house and ultimately break up the family.
Depending on the magnitude of the situation, I'm here to help and don't mind speaking with your child and the family if I can be of help.
Your pain is everyone's pain. Don't give it. Satan wants to break up the family. And we can't allow that to happen!
