This is hard work, and it has been for a long time. Jesus himself said "Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’ while the wooden beam is in your eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye."
Try telling one's cousin Bob on his 3rd wife that maybe his son Johnny is in rehab again because Bob is a narcissistic jackwagon ...THAT is hard but effective work, but we don't seem to do that much anymore. Maybe we should.
Was thinking the same thing. These teens are being raised by selfish immature people. That makes any child/teen feel like their life is unstable and unbalanced. The “adults” in their lives don’t behave like adults by setting examples of working thru hardships ( with spouses, jobs, etc) so they have no role model for how to handle the difficulties of life.
In the old days parents would sacrifice to raise their children right( which did not mean giving them everything they wanted). Would get up on Sunday mornings , get dressed neatly and respectfully, go to church, listen to a sermon explaining how God wanted them to believe and act, come home for a nice meal together as a family to connect and talk, and try to follow those rules throughout the week. Now the single mom or deadbeat dad may be too hung over to even get up and make breakfast for the kids.
Very sad
