If a soft answer turns away wrath, then would a loud,authoritative sounding voice cause wrath? My husband gets so frustrated with our son who has problems with addictions that he tends to talk real loud and bark orders at him. He thinks he is using Tough Love I guess, but it,s not working. We keep going around in circles with our son and getting nowhere with him as far as getting help for his addictions. My nerves are shot. I am on the verge of a nervous break down right now. We are believers in Jesus. What can we do differently? What are we doing wrong? This is so tough! Any suggestions! Thanks!

Proverbs 631 statement, retribution

Proverbs 16:20 Says He that handles a matter wisely shall find good. And who so trust in the LORD happy is he. The lord prays the prayer of Intercession for us each day. Surely his prayers will be answered for your son. In the meantime. Your son is trying to find something and he needs the freedom to do so. We need to be the hands and feet of Jesus to him and not the mouth piece. We should let our kids know I want a better life for you . But its your life you choose I will love you right in this situation. Then I would trust God to handle the matter as I place it in his hands to fix. Laying down my burdens to him. Knowing that He love my son also and will get him home safely addiction free.
