SAD-read

I feel so sad for my two sons.

My eldest son is single, living in a large split level home all alone. I don’t think he has any social life. The few friends he has are all married. He works with my hubby however the business is just about dead. I don’t know what he will do. I think he is extremely shy and inhibited. I am going to arrange to have lunch with him to discuss things. I am sure he would like to get married and have children. From what I see he is doing NOTHING about it. I am going to strongly encourage him to do SOMETHING….maybe go back to his psychologist. I was thinking that it’s his life and I should leave him alone but………..

My other son is married. He is under so much stress. I feel so sad because there is nothing I can do to help. He needs to find another job. He needs to find a house. He sold his and has to be out at the beginning of July. He bought a senior home so his mother-in-law would run it but it is much more than they bargained for. It was very expensive and they had so much repairs to do. The rooms are not all rented etc. His mother-in-law lives with him and he just told me that she brings home all the problems and he can’t cope.

He knows that I am here but unless we help financially there is little else we can do. I don’t know if I want to start helping financially because I think it sets a bad precedent. Of course if he was in real trouble we would help immediately.

There is a saying small children small problems big children big problems. I guess it’s true!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Random Noter: Hello. Sorry to hear about your sons. I wish you and them the best.

I’ve heard that to be true about the small/big problems. But I think you worry about your kids no matter what. It’s just part of the job of being a mom.

I think the best thing we can do is to always be there, to listen to them. That means a lot; in this overly-busy world, many people do not have anyone who cares enough to listen to them. I sympathize with you! It’s hard seeing our “kids” having a rough time, knowing there’s really not much we can do to help. hugs, Weesprite

Ah Ginger, my heart aches for you. I have two sons too, and my oldest one has such a sad, lonely life. I hurt so bad for him, but there isn’t much I can do to help him. My younger son’s life is so much better, but of course he has problems too. I guess all we can do is love them! I hope you’re feeling better today.
