What is a Good Parent to Do?

The last two years have been very hard for my wife and I. She had breast cancer and went through a 13 hour operation. Complication arose because her muscle wall was weakened and had 2 more surgeries and her quality of life is marginal at best.
I lost my job twice, most recently 4 months ago. I keep looking and asking God to help both of us.
Our 21 year old son, recently made a mockery of his 3rd year of college and basically did horific. I told him after the first semester how important it was to do well his second sememster of his 3rd year and again did POOR and that is being kind. I do not know what to do with him, he is failing and I am unemployed. What is a father to do?
When do you enough is enough? When you give till it hurts and someone won't listen to you. I have asked God what I have done to deserve everything that has happened in the last 2 years. I have always loved Jesus and had long ago accepted him as my Lord and Savior. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO ?

RE: What is a Good Parent to Do?

The greatest of these is Love, that we give glory & honor first to God & for the love we do have in our lives. Lord, this man, husband, a father, is begging for guidance & some understanding of his trials, which are very much a part of the world today as there is such job loss, sickness, misunderstandings. We come to YOU to ask that YOU SHINE YOUR LIGHT on this family that they see YOU in their lives manifested, the fruits Lord, show them the fruits of their efforts, whatever that is Lord, however small, we ask that they see. It is not vanity Lord to ask for basic needs & we do this because a roof over the head & food on the table are important. The head Lord of the household feels enormous pressure to provide, to give to his family, to feel needed this way. Lord, YOU ARE THE HEAD, of mankind, of man in a marriage, Lord most important he is the spiritual head & allow him to continually feel this, that he is important, needed, that he matters, that his job first is to love his spouse, his children, his family & outward, let this job never go away in his heart, in his mind that he always feel YOUR BLESSINGS, no matter the strife, the pain that his wife is dealing with in her sickness, her healing, Lord, that he see YOU. Let him feel wealth in his heart, no matter what happens Lord, & the importance of the love that he has, the spiritual job he has Lord most important. We ask that YOU give this man, this family the means to make ends meet, to keep that roof over their head, to be able to give to each other, to heal in YOUR GLORIOUS LOVE & GIVING JESUS. Please that their son appreciate what he has also, that he honor his mother & father, not always easy for the youth as they struggle & do not have wisdom of elders, but Lord wrap YOUR ARMS around him, around this family, give them YOUR STRENGTH, YOUR PEACE, JOY & LOVE. Provide for them Lord we ask this in YOUR HOLY NAME.
Jesus-cross
