You are absolutely correct.. saying I wanted to go after him was a knee-jerk reaction, mindless griping lol. We are strained, somehow the "adult-to-child" ratio has tipped to the opposite.. my father is dressed in "immaturity" and is currently doing his best to completely dissolve his life...it aggravates me because my mother is collateral damage. I loaned to him basically to help her. Idk what's going on, it's almost like hes on drugs...he just turned 70 in September maybe that has something to do with it idk..

Just know this, Denny: God is always in control of EVERY situation, and He still works miracles if we have faith. I am praying , along with the other Christians on here, that God will get you thru this and increase your faith to boot.🙏🏻

Close... women. Women are his problem. Hes having an affair THIS late in the game.
He just turned 70yrs old, and in the last 4-6mos hes gotten himself into alot of trouble. My mother is horrified, they've been married for 42yrs and now this.. shes divorcing him too. Just makes me shake my head. Back and forth.

RH,
Yessir, I believe this with everything I got. My dads right smack-dab in the little of a spiritual "bottom". I believe that for some people to find God, or turn to Him, or for transformation to happen, the person needs to be broken down by the world or whatever may be.. i believe God is in complete control, and my dad is on the verge of something great...or extreme peril. He has a choice to make, as we all do, and i believe this choice to be pivotal. Lift and fly, or crash and burn. Our prayer, is that he find peace in his heart and healing in my mothers heart. Praying that their marriage be resolved. His Will over our own desires.
Thanks for the spiritual conversation too btw.. I needed this today. 😏👍

Is your dad in AA? It seems to me that the major issue in your Dad's life is addiction.

Won't be fixable until he is ready and owns the problems.

True. Family needn't wait for him. They can get involved with Al Anon. He may not ever be ready, but they can find their own healing.

No ma'am.. he won't attend.
I'm trying to get him to agree to going to the VA and get some mental health help, maybe some ptsd groups too... these are the things that aided my recovery. But I believe whole heartedly that God is a necessary component to recovery, and to that he will not yield.

I agree as well. I'm trying to get my mother to see beyond her pain (which is very hard, it's still too fresh).. trying to get her in motion, meaning motivated instead of just plain hurting. Shes so depressed and is starting to withdrawl altogether
