My husband and I have had some longstanding concerns about my son that have come to a head once before and again this summer. We have seen an excellent counselor who has basically told us to back off and let him make his own decisions and recieve the consequences accordingly. Intellectually, I understand.
Personally, this is extreemly hard and painful for me. As my profession and natural response is to help others overcome difficulties, letting my own son create them for himself is difficult to say the least. He needs to feel my love without my fears/advice.(This is easier done with my clients than my own children.) I'm having a hard time trusting God on this one. I would really appreciate prayer for my son's sake as well as mine. Thank you!
