So, I am gravely concerned that the battle to secure my S's spiritual health will have been lost before they reach the age they will make their own way in life.
I really hope I am just over-thinking this. But when even the children of parents who have done everything right are still lost to the World, I have all the more to worry.
I worry the same stuff too. Will they follow their dad's example or mine? Please let it be mine!!! But I honestly do have faith that when they get older if you provide a good role model for them, that they will choose the right example. Your boys are young now; I think you need to give them time.
I know sometimes there are biological factors (predispositions to alcohol, etc.), but I do think sometimes if kids turn out for the worst, maybe they didn't have the perfect parents it appears. I don't think there are any parents who do everything right; I certainly haven't and you know my X hasn't. But if you keep providing that foundation for them and your role model, I know your boys will be fine... Karen
