BRAGS???? Sounds more like he's desperate and at the end of his rope and doesn't know where to turn next. So he turns to us and all you can do is slam him? That is absolutely, totally, not even constructive. I'd be very careful, you will be judged the way you judge. And given compassion the way you give it. Every word you use will be judged. For your own sake I would be more worried about that.
He needs G-d first and everything else will fall into place. I will be praying for him and his family and for you. May G-d have more mercy for you, then you have shown Genesis defender.
How many kids did you raise? Hope your approach worked.
