RE: I just don't know what to do anymore.
I really know how you are feeling. I have a son who is living with me for several years and is30 years old. He doesn't work either and is a huge financial stress for me. More importantly it seems as though he has backslid-den and doesn't even think there is a problem with his behavior. This is only my opinion which I am working on myself. God wants us to help people but not enable them. Although my profession is counseling and I know I have been enabling it is much harder when it's your own son. I will keep you in my prayers and my heart aches with you. You must set boundaries for your grown son and his sons and tell them they have x amount of time to find a job or they will have to leave. You are not, and I am not helping my son by taking on responsibilities he needs to learn to do no matter how much it hurts if you have to put him out. Our God is a Great and Awesome God and will finish the work he has started in your boys but from what I read and my own situation, we are getting in his way. Sometimes, like an addict, people need to hit rock bottom so that they will look up and learn to depend on God and allow Him to rebuild their lives. We can't do that part for people we love no matter how much we want that for them. I will continue praying and keep me updated. You have a sister in the Lord that truly cares what you are going through. Send me a message anytime you need some support. Bless

Feel free to email me and I will be happy to further chat with you.
