Default My kids

My stepdaughter and her husband are a mess.
He knows more about cable tv than anyone I know of. He had a succesfull business that turned over 3 million in a year and half. Employees all over and riding high.

Meth entered the picture.

Now they have nothing. One vehicle left. Clothes. Thats it.
Vicki and I have been keeping the grandkids 5&7 for months now.

They need to get their lives back. And raise their own kids. I love those grandkids, and I know that there are plenty of Gparents raising kids now, but still, I want everything to be somewhat normal.

Thanks

Mike,
Sorry I didn't read this sooner.
I'm not a real religious man,I do however keep people in my thoughts & yes prayers.
I will not pray,but will beg God to give your stepdaughter & her husband the strengh they need to battle this disease.
I can't imagine the toll it has taken on the kids as well as you & your wife.Mike the battle before for you is big,& I have no doubt you will take this head on.The strengh lies within you,& it is you who must not faulter.Mike it is you that these kids need to look up to & yes it is you that needs to make the decisions that need to be made.
In my opinion he needs to go,keep your stepdaughter close to you & let him go.I wish you nothing but success my friend & yes you & yours are close to my heart
Jim

Hang in there, Mike. The trials given to us are never easy, but always for a reason. When I finally started to get my life right, I went to my mom and said "Mom, I am sorry for all of the time you wasted praying for me and worrying about me. " Her answer, "I didn't waste one second, all of that time has paid off tenfold." Love has no boundaries, whether it be a parent's love or God's. Yall are in my prayers and thoughts.

Hope they can get into a program to kick that addiction. It is destroying not only their lives, but their kids', and even yours.

Mike, I have been praying for your family since I became aware of the situation and will keep you in my prayers. I'd like to also thank you for being there for me a couple of weeks ago.
Jim, I'm not a reglious person either although I'm a Christian.

Sorry to hear this. That junk has destroyed so many lives. Hopefully they can find a way to right themselves before it is too late. Meanwhile take good care of those grandkids, they are the real victims in a situation like this and they are so precious. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Update:

My stepdaughter has finally broken and is coming out of denial.
This is a critical phase, in which you realize that you are at fault instead of blaming everyone else.

Thank for the prayers

God Bless them and you and may He deliver them out of their suffering. Out of great misery comes great joy. I too was badly addicted years ago and through the prayers of many (not mine) I was relieved. 17 years to be exact. I had a very successful business, loads of 'things' and not enough time to drink or smoke crack. I since gave my life to the Lord. I am not overly religious but I am a fanof Christ and what He can and does do. I will keep praying and I pray that you keep trusting Him to work a miracle in your kids lives. Miracles seem to happen less and less because of our unbelief, but He wants us ALL to be whole.

Love and Prayers,
Mike
