🚘 Too Little to Drive, Too Big to Ignore: A Father's Wake-Up Call - Jeffrey R. Holland

[@LeonardGalit]

A very touching story. Mothers are usually more compassionate than fathers. But fathers need to understand that their little children cannot be treated as if they were older, as this man had said.

Our son cut us out of his life at 16. He is 27 now. We have tried to contact him, and he wants nothing! I'm puzzled and heartbroken! God, please fix this!

Our daughter did the same thing thanks to her spouse or so we assume. No word. We were told by many people to expect 20!hrs before they would come back. For us luckily. It was more like 12-13 yrs and it's slowly changing. Things can be hard. We still don't know why but we will just stay the course and be our best selves. Praying for you too

@@mikeday3068 you are right. Remember the covenant is a promise.

Don’t give up. Love him no matter what. It sounds like your doing everything you can to keep the communication open. He will come to himself if he knows you have not stopped loving him. However, when he comes back, accept who he is. Part of finding himself is to learn on his own the truths that you came to know but it needs to be on his own schedule and putting off his own demons. But the expression of continued love by you will have affect to soften his heart.

My baby girl and my baby boy cut me out of their lives at age 21. I’ve been heartbroken for more than 20 years. I shall never see them again. My best just wasn’t good enough.

Deb, I am so sorry this has happened to you in this lifetime. I fully understand the pain you are still experiencing. My oldest son cut me out of his life 12 years ago and took his seven children, my grandchildren, with him. There are no answers to what has happened so we live each day the best we can. My very best to you. Merry Christmas!

[@debfryer2437]

@ I’m very sorry for your loss. There is nothing worse than the breakup of a family. Generations of my family have been estranged. I had hoped that as a convert to the church and working tirelessly on my own healing would somehow stem the tide of suffering and estrangement but unfortunately the trouble just seems to keep marching on.
