Well in my case I’m the first member of the church in my family, I’m doing the best I can, I’m teaching my son to learn and work but my ex husband that he was born and raised in the church is doing everything he is not supposed to, well I just hope that one day my son choose the right.
That is a hard place to be! I understand and I'm with you in this important job of parenting. I trust your son will remember all that you've taught him. Eventually he will and mine will too.
