Thanks so much Janet. Some of my books started as blog posts, so who knows. A classic on the topic is still John Whites 1979 book Parents in pain. Here is an Amazon link https://www.amazon.com.au/Parents-Pain-Overcoming-Frustration-Children/dp/0877845824

What an awesome incredible blog & such culturally relevant reflection & advice. So timely.
I am seeing the budding of my own prodigals returning home after a very long winter (12 years), God is faithful. Thankyou for sharing your God given wisdom.. . You know I could share so much more about your support ?
Now I need you to write a book to share with others as we talk with those who don’t know the Lord to share this kind of information, please. ( If there are any books that you would recommend on this subject or your readers, I’d be interested. ) Bless you Brian.?

Thanks for sharing Jenni. Sorry that point 7 was too often true but very glad you have got through to the other side, and continue to bless so many.

Thanks Christine. And so glad that the faith communities you helped so much to shape have been there for you.

It has been a journey I wish I’d never had to go through and yet I praise god for the experience because He was so faithful throughout- and I’m so very grateful for experiencing Gods immense love – at a time when so many judged me for the situation (point 7- so painful!) ….we kept telling our son that nothing he could do would stop us loving him – yet we also needed boundaries! Now – he has turned his life around ( after drugs prison and suicide attempts) and has often said to us “ I just don’t
understand how you could have
loved me” …. That’s when we can just smile and remind him of how much God loved us and he was our example.

All relevant and real for us.
I am grateful for how you have articulated it.
Within our own faith communities we have been hugely blessed by people who been hugely supportive and have not judged, (well not to our faces :0) , and for that we have grateful hearts.
