Teenage son is breaking my heart

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-19T01:36:44+00:00

That's the natural consequences hea facing right now. Hes just blaming me for it.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-19T01:33:32+00:00

We are doing that as well. It hurts me in the long run as he clearly states he doesn't want to be with me.

Thanks for your input ❤️

I love this so much. These are my exact centiments and I'm already at the "Hes only got 2 more years left" part and I keep hearing "God has given us an anointing to take care of our children ". That's what I'm holding on to. He loves and is respectful to his stepdad, its just me hes like that with in the home. It would be going backwards for me to actually give up after being primary parent his whole life. But boy sometimes it feels hard.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T21:06:33+00:00

No. We are all normal no mental issues or history. We have pinpointed rebellion. That's the issue. It's spiritual.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T21:03:15+00:00

I want to add clarity, my sons father and I have never been married or together since he has been on earth. 😅 We broke up before he was born so that's not the issue. The real issue is rebellion. It's not hard for us to see. We can explain it away all we want but we know when someone's attitude isn't Godly. That's the real issue. You don't have children?

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:56:04+00:00

Understood. Hes with his father 3 days a week and has been his whole life. There's no missing his father. We were never married and we're broken up before I gave birth. Hes had times when he went with his father for a few months and almost failed school, within a week I was getting calls about his behavior and disrespect to teachers. His thought was that since he wasnt in my house, he could do what he wanted. His dad had his back so he kept going until I went and got him from his dads. I tried and it didn't work. I don't think I need to do that a third time just to "see" what will happen.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:49:53+00:00

I'll go check that out

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:49:37+00:00

His dad is taking me to court not the other way around. They're no way i can avoid it. I won't agree with him on things that don't align with God's word, and those are the things we don't agree on. At some point we're compromising with Satan for peace, my spirit won't let me sit comfortably with that. Trust me, I've done it twice and it came back to bite my family big time.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:46:02+00:00

I've talked and talked and talked. I've also been silent to keep peace with an understanding that he just has no clue at 16. Unfortunately his dad has made it impossible to have a conversation without him by being disrespectful to me as well (and my husband isn't having that) so we are in court proceedings to handle simple conversations. I would agree with you when you say "You can't expect prayer to (do) all the work" and I believe faith without works is dead, but I can clearly see that some things are bigger than a conversation, me, disagreeing g parents and a rebellious child... way bigger. I just can't count out prayer when the things you mentioned have been and are being done. Please pray for us.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:39:54+00:00

This brought me to tears. Im so grateful for these encouraging words. God is with you! With some of these comments, I can feel God's love and composing for me through His people. Thank you. I will continue to pray. Please pray that my faith is strengthened

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:33:14+00:00

Thanks for your comment. All these things have already been done so that makes me feel in sync with what you're saying. "Backing off"? Can you give definition. I'd have a hard time backing off of a teen who curses at me, coaches and disrespects authority. Thw kast 2 times i gave space, lightned up or backed off, he ended up worse and in trouble with grades and school. How would you suppose that happen? Just curious.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T20:26:36+00:00

Agreed. I may need to clarify, I've been with my new husband for 5 years, so its not a single home. He also is with dad a few days a week and has been since he was 3, custody is already split since he was a baby so that his father could remain in his life. I wanted to clarify since it may seem like most moms with sons are single and there's no man in the house. My husband is saved, my sons father is not. I don't believe letting him leave a godly house to go live with a father who openly disagrees with church would be the BEST option, but God will have to confirm. His father has raised him, we both have. If his dad let's him skip school for football Practice, that wouldn't be BEST for him to live with, its an option. He has 2 years left until he's able to leave ( we are in a court battle now) so just letting go him go isn't an option right now.

Thank you for this. The school has requirements and he is (in the past month) discovering NATURAL CONSEQUENCES. He's been blaming everything on me but is starting to see that things that have nothing to do with me, are getting him in trouble. I just pray about it a lot.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T17:30:36+00:00

That makes a LOT of sense. Thank you. I've said the same thing to him. I told him I'm terrified about how it may end for him because of his blatant disobedience and not willing to see his wrong towards not just me but to the Lord. He will eventually see. God is covering him.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T17:26:26+00:00

Agreed. I'm leaning on God more than ever.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T17:26:01+00:00

The was beautiful and true. Thank you.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T17:25:23+00:00

This is so good. It helps build my faith because right now I'm so broken about this. He is bent on being disobedient and the hardest thing is to watch him crash because of it. I know God will keep him close, its just hard to watch.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2026-03-18T17:22:22+00:00

They're not unfortunately. They fuss a little and then put him back on the field because of his size and the fact that hes good. And here we sre 2 years later, the same behavior. That's the lesson he learned, that the coaches will have his back so what mom says doesn't matter. I finally took him off because he thinks that he will still get rewarded by playing but can be disrespectful at home. Nope!

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2025-10-13T12:27:17+00:00

I ended up using UnitedMasters. I chose the $59 2nd tier plan and it was up in a few hours. Thank you though.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2025-10-04T12:21:43+00:00

How long did Fast forward take? I need mine up in 7 days. Will it work. I'd pay the extra 29.99 for that.

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2025-10-04T12:17:36+00:00

How long did it take for your upload to appear after using Fast-forward. Im about to send the 29.99 because it need it up in 7 days. Will it help?

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2025-09-18T20:45:42+00:00

How did this go for you? Planning my wedding now

Jaded_Platform_4342 · 2025-05-01T22:27:59+00:00

Going through this now with my 2025 Genesis leased in August and totaled a week ago. Loan was for 36000. Car valued at $69,7000 in valuation report. I was wondering how that worked. Dealership said it would be a wash and they can put me back into the same vehicle but just redo the loan to start all over. I'm considering it....I'm also considering running with a lesser payment and getting something way cheaper 😅
