Ruth's Friendship Fellowship-Everyone Welcome, Come On In - Part 5

[popsthebuilder]

Ms. Ruth; I hope you have a genuinely good day.

What would one do about an adolescent who has given up hope?

Hi. I think I would try to get that adolescent into counseling.

When it rains it pours aye Ms. Ruth?

I'm going through a decent bit myself at the moment.

Do you have any children Ms. Ruth?

No, I don't have children. I do have some wonderful pets, though. My Suzy has been sensing how I feel and she has been tending to me by giving me kisses when I wake up and jumping up on the couch to cuddle with me. She is a lifesaver. I'm sorry you have had depression, too. It can be the pits.

Hi Bill and Lam and Jmms.

Hi Bill and Lam and Jmms.

Your Suzy sounds like a good friend. I can deal with depression. It is my son who I worry about. I will have to try and be a closer friend to him it seems rather than an athority figure.

I hope you have a good evening.

Hi Ruth

Good to see Ruth's chat going again I'm at a loss for words right now but I do pray for the CH members and their families!

 

[Ruth]

Hi everyone. Pops: I hope the best for you and your son. Some things take time and patience. I'm working on my own patience. It hasn't been so good. Getting better though.

Hello, Ruth! It's good to hear that things are getting better for you.

Hi everyone. Pops: I hope the best for you and your son. Some things take time and patience. I'm working on my own patience. It hasn't been so good. Getting better though.

Thanks Ms. Ruth. Patience has never been my strong suit. I was early to my own birth by 2-3 months. My son is doing better. I am at a crossroads with him. I must let him be free and learn from his own mistakes, but I don't want him to die due to those mistakes or indifference. The facility he is being housed at at the moment has applied for him to be admitted into a residential program based on a Methodist structure. I don't know too much about the methodists other than they are quite traditional or old school when it comes to faith or church. I have no problem with this, but knowing my boy; he will have a great disconnect if he smells bs. He is exceptionally intelligent.

So I've made my mind up; he's going; to have a chance at life. He may hate me for a little while; but at least he will be alive. Hopefully something clicks while he is there.

Now the question is do I divulge the mystery of the gospel to him prior to his going to the residential program; or do I let him figure it out for himself?

I think he will be okay either way, but would rather him not continue in nihilism if I can help it, and if he goes about a literal understanding of scripture then he most likely will continue in nihilism.

Opinions? Anyone?

Thank you again Ms. Ruth.

I hope you are doing well today and that GOD is strengthening you for HIS will in your life.

peace

I think it would be best to have him in a place where you know he'd be most comfortable in his state of mind. That's what I'd try to do anyway. I wish you all the best with him and your going through this.

I am feeling stronger than I was. I got new antidepressants. They are helping fine. Thank you

I'm glad you're feeling better, Ruth! The better you feel the more activities you can do!

Springtime has got to get here soon...I want to get out walking

Thank you. Each day is a new day and I don't feel good every day, like today, but I look forward to the good days anyways.:tea: My neighbors are harassing me horribly.

Different neighbors this time?
