Poor thing,I can't give advice ,but I will say a prayer for her right now! Please remind her that God has forgiven her so no matter what this creep may do he can't touch that.I am a strong believer in what goes around does indeed come back around,so in the long run he is really only hurting himself.God Be With Her in this time.God Bless You Hope 47

He is 22 years old,He was saved at the age of 12 during bible school.He is addicted to several different drugs but I would say the worse if there is such a thing would be his cocaine intravenous use.That is when he steals.He has had 3 DUI's,but all of these happened in a few short months after his mother died.He doesn't really have any disabilities but he is kind of slow in his thinking.Nothing on paper but I think it is there or it could just be the drugs.Thank you so much for your time and concern.God Bless You Hope 47

Leonard,I am not as Bible smart as I wish I was but one thing I do know is that ever since I have came to worthy boards your replies have always been honest and I have came to respect anything that you say so if you say this is a good man I truely believe it.Maybe some people don't agree with how he does things,but at least he is doing something.

I need some advice here.I have a nephew that I believe is back on drugs.He has stolen from me and my mother.I feel sorry for him because his mother,my sister, passed away 3 years in May.He never has had much of a relationship with his father,and I don't know what to do.My mother has been living with me for a while now maybe 3 months,after the first month,which had been great,my nephew got out of jail and didn't have anywhere to go,so I let him come here.First I caught him in my mothers purse,he wasn't able to get anything so I just fussed a little and let it go. The very next day I missed things from my purse,so I made him leave,he went to my mothers house where no one was staying,but all her things were there.I thought well he will have to buy his own food,gas etc.maybe this was what he needed.Yesterday a friend of mine was shopping and saw him go into a pawn shop and she called me to see if everything was okay.I didn't know my mother had gave him permission to charge a few things at ace hardware and when she heard my conversation with my friend she called them to make sure he had only charged the things he was gave permission to charge,well he had also charged a drill that he then turned right around and took to pawn.At this point my mother wanted me to take her to her house to check on it.When we got there her T.V."s were gone and he had taken all her things out of her bedroom and dumped them in another room,and had moved all his things into her bedroom.Why he did this I don't understand he had a room of his own there.My mother has a really nice home,better than the one I live in,but I din't want to leave my home that is why she had been staying with me.My older sister had planed to move in after the first of the year so Mom could stay in her own home if she wanted to, or stay with me some of the time.The only reason she hadn't moved yet was because he was there and she was afraid of what he might steal from her.So now it has reached a point of what do you do with him? While we were at my mothers I found some of his supplies he uses to use his drugs,so I am sure he has started that again.I know if I call the police he will go to the pen,the big house,not just jail,because he is on probation now.Also if I just throw him out he can still steal, and do his drugs.If we were to find him dead I feel it would be my fault because at least in the pen he is alive.My mother has always protected him and financed him with money so he has never really had to work,but she is no longer in a position to do this.What would you all do in a case like this,because at this point I am ready for a nervous breakdown.Please pray for him and me and the whole family because this is affecting us all.Any advice will help.Thank-You All for being here.God Bless You.

I don't really know if this applies here or not but here goes, at one time I was a heavy drug user,it took finding the Lord to cure me.I tried rehab,it never worked,nothing ever worked until I found the Lord,and I say he cured me,but maybe the word should be he put it in remission because I feel if I went back around that part of the world Satan would temp. me to no end.So my answer is to not be part of that world,all my old friends know how I feel about the Lord and about drugs.Needless to say they don't come around me anymore.I do try if given a chance to tell them my story,of how the Lord saved my life and can save theirs also.I don't think rehabs work, the only way to get out of that life is thru the Lord.I believe drugs are a weapon Satan uses to control people,to keep them away from the Lord.I try to explain this to anyone that will listen to me. I pray for people in that kind of world because people did a lot of praying for me and I truely believe that is what made the diference for me was their prayer for me.So yes I live in this world but I try not to be part of it.I had to learn the hard way.Hope this applies here.God Bless All.

I just signed.For myself and my husband we will always stand for Isreal.

I agree with eaglewings,read Peter,a lot of people have suffered in the name of doing what is right and good you are not alone.The world we live in is a bad place and some people do bad things all we can do is our little part to try and put a stop to them.I don't know your sitution but I can understand your frustation,I have been there.I once reported little children outside in the cold of winter with no shoes or socks,living in a total nasty home and nothing came of it.They said unless they were abused they couldn't do anything,I felt this was abuse.So I do understand.I am truely sorry for what has happened to you,and I will pray for you.Hang in there things will get better.Sometimes God may not answer us in the way we think he should,but he does always answer.Give it time things will change.I will be praying for you.Good Luck

As someone said earlier this is a special gift you get to share with you spouse and this is a gift that in todays world not many have to give so no matter how hard it may be or the temptations that may come always remember that this is a truly special gift to be able to give to the person you love.Not to mention the blessings you will receive from the Lord.Be strong God will help you.God Bless You

Right now you are going thur a really bad time,and with your emotions going thur what they are right now my advice would be to take it really slow.I can only imagen how lonely you are right now,but don't let this lead you into making a mistake.I didn't lose my husband,but I did lose my father some years ago and believe me it caused me to really make some mistakes. Some really big ones,so please don't do what I did,you will only regret it later.You have lot's of time to get your feelings under control,and you will,!! I promise.Give yourself time ,and in the future ,God will put the right person back in your life,just pray alot and lean on him for awhile ,he will take care of you.I was divorced with 2 children and didn't know if any good man would want a woman with all of this baggage,but you know what; God put the best man I have ever knew in my life.We are husband and wife,best friends,and all the good things you could ever want in a man.I would never have guessed in a million years he would send me someone like this,but he did,and all I had to do was turn it all over to him.Something I found that helped was I started keeping a journal to God,any thing and every thing on my heart I wrote in this.I talked to him like, I was writing a letter to my closet,dearest friend,telling him everything my heart desired.I would put the journal up for about 2 weeks and then go back and read what all I had wrote,and it blew me away, how I could see the way he had answered every prayer I had wrote,maybe not in a way I would have thought of ,but he had answered me,just please try this and see how it works for you.At least you will always have someone to talk to.Pray and God will take care of all things one way or another.God Bless You and you will be in my prayers.

I have found that when I am pushed into doing something I really don't want to do it builds resentment toward that person.In the long run it hurts our friendship more by my just going along and letting someone push my buttons.To protect your friendship learn to say no,in the long run it will make you both better friends.I hope this has helped,I will pray for you both.Good Luck
