Thank God you discovered this manipulation, Lizbeth. Forewarned is forearmed. I will pray for the safety of all involved. My son is leaving just now. He is 30 and also acts as if he is 16. He was due to be in work at 4pm. It is now 5pm. It will take him over two hours to get to the city. My husband is driving him to the nearest bus. I had white shirts ironed for him and a new leather belt for his jeans. He looks like any “normal” young man but I know he has deep seated anger in his heart. I feel I can breath now. The casino used to serve as my recovery base after his visits but not tonight! He made a remark last night that actually scared me. I can just pray for his conversion.
God go with all our “children”!
