When you have a. Kid, thats OFF--TRACK
as a PARENT, you feel no rest, until, they get --BACK

Its very exhausting, and takes everything out of a --loved ones--and--especially--the--PARENT
when communication, with your daughter or son, is not honest, sincere, or transparent

Always half truths, , never complete honesty
lies and more lies, and thats the reality

It brings a parent to anger, and rage
after years and, years of the same old patterns for now a son that is thirty one years old of AGE

But every, parent will reach their limit of no return
when time after time, years and years, of heartache, disappointment and tears, time after time, you have been trashed, disrespected, and BURNED

As a parent, when you have a child or as me a grown thirty one year old adult, you reach the defining moment, when thats it the finality the end, no more playing the game, no more fake and pretend
as the PARENT, you have to just pray for them, stop enabling them, and let them go, completely THEN

As a father this is the most difficult thing to do
it goes against your grain, and greatly hurts you

But all and everything that you have always done
nothing was accomplished nothing was won

When i would say one thing to him HE,  would say ten things back to me, and an argument would occur, and no matter what i said, no matter what i did, nothing was resolved
nothing would be solved

He knows he could go to a place for rehab and counseling, but he will not admit that he has any problem with anything
he is not humble, he still acts as he is the mighty know it all king

So now is my time to distance myself and pray
that GOD, with touch his heart this very moment-- today

I pray that he will seek professional help and support, with sobriety from drugs and alcohol as the solution
its the most difficult thing, troubling and devastating, when your children are off track,----- your ----daughter ----or ----SON
