Default About my oldest two son's

This is about my older son's. My oldest sounds like he needs a intervention.
And I'm going to have to figure out how to do this. Its not something
I'm looking forward too. So I could use some prayers.

I'm also not really sure what exactly needs to be done. I just know that he
isn't doing very well it seems. Between the way he is acting and what is
going on.


My middle son has been out trying to find a job. He is really struggling
right now. They are just staying above treading water. Its only because
I have money to loan them, or give them. SInce as he will say he doesn't
know when I might get it back.

I am at a loss as to what to tell him to try now. He is working with every
temporary agency in the area. That he can. But I need to find him a
new angle to how he can go about working through this. I have to figure
out if there is a way I can talk him into going into Toys-R - us and applying
for a job as a Bike put together. In this time period I'd guess it would
be good timing.

They seem to also be looking for maintenance-housekeeping. So I need
to get him to realize that might be a good thought too.


So I think what I'm going to ask of you my friends is that you pray for
me to have guidance to lead my son's into finding what they both need right
now. Especially the one that has to find a job.

Dear Donna,
Toys R Us could be a good idea.
Some places are hiring because they want to be ready for Christmas.
Does he qualify for any gov job training that pays money?

I'm am sending you and your family good vibes.

Thanks to you all three.

Waiting to see what Devin finds out. It sounds like he has a good lead
on a job with benefits too. I am hoping he gets a chance at this one.

Dear Donna

Thank you I appreciate it all of you.

I'm having a better week it seems. And I think at least for a short time
period Danny is doing much better. Not sure what will happen to The
two of thems' relationship. But at least They seem to still be together.

And along with this, Devin is also working with my husband on some of our
houses right now.

Which will help till he hears about the job. It least I didn't hear he has
heard about it.

UPS is always looking for package handlers around the holiday season and I guess the pay is decent. But I hope this job opportunity pans out for Devin.

If your son ends up needing an intervention, there is a lot of info on the internet. My first stop would be an association that specializes in his condition (ie/ drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc).
I hope that an intervention doesn't become necessary, but if it does, you'll need your family's support.

I will say some good words for you and your family, Donna.

Problem is UPS, in our area doesn't advertise for Package Handlers.
And I can't find a way for him to get in to apply.

I have looked the only thing that is on the website is drivers.
And he can't do that. He doesn't have experience.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated, I"m going to have
to spoon feed him, or take him myself.

Anyway, My other son goes to his gastroenologist tomorrow. Luckily
husband didn't get picked for jury today.

Hah, he will be taking him.
