Clearly there are situations where parents are not good to their kids, but if this isn’t one of those, if this is just you feeling shame, like you failed them, please know that call will make your mothers year I swear.

      Definitely, he should just call her. My son stopped speaking to me 5 yrs ago because I couldn't afford to come visit him and my newborn grandchild. It broke my heart. He accused me of things never happened as a protection mode for his own heart deciding to cut me off. I send my grandchild gifts, but I've never seen him and he's never seen me. Last year, I stopped trying. I'll just wait to hear his voice again, hopefully before I die. He was my everything, he decided I was his nothing. 😥

    May 19th, 1998 was the last time I smoked crack. I was a single mom of 2 little boys. I functioned, but, barely. I was separated from my husband (who introduced me to crack), I was a mess. My life was a mess. Then I met my 2nd husband, Ben, who supported me 100%. I got clean. It took a solid year before I didn’t think about getting high. I got healthy and never touched it again. I hope you never travel down that road again, Jay. All the best to you. God bless you Knate.

    You guys gave me some hope that my son might be ok and alive... maybe. He was homeless in Denver, Colorado, when his RV broke down. Our family could not help him as much as we would have liked, because we're all tapped out from this horrible economy. I was homeless last year in Las Vegas, but someone took me in.
    My son has been on n and out of prison, has done drugs, may be doing them now, but he says he is born again into Jesus Christ, and won't go back that way again. I searched for him on Inmate Search and hospitals and nothing came up. Phew! The last text I got from him was December 6, 2024. He asked if I could help him pay his phone service vice. I couldn't. I had to borrow money to buy food as it was. I'm tapped out from sending him money while he was in prison. I barely have enough in n a very small fixed income.
    So, Idk where he is now, if he's alive or dead, or ....
    Please say a prayer over him. His name is Kevin. 😭💔🙏

    Knate thank you for what you do. Jay, you've got this. We are all connected. You are not alone. We all just need to help each other & stand together. The comments you referred to frequently showed how important it is & how much it meant that you were seen, you were heard, you were understood & that you matter, regardless of whatever material needs you had. There's a life for you to live & it's a great life. None of us can do this alone. Knate, you are a rare gem doing what only you can do. Jay, you too have a gift that no one else can give but you. Learn to love & value yourself if you don't already. And stay connected. I look forward to following & supporting you even if it can only be in prayer. Be gentle with yourself. There may be both ups & downs, but you're building your tool kit. You've got this.

    I was homeless 3 separated times in my life. I had issues with drugs and alcohol. For me, it was having my mother seeing me locked up that finally helped me wake up. Having her visit me in jail broke my heart. I was so ashamed.
    It takes a lot for strength and self reflection to make that first step. I am so proud of you, Jay. All of us here love you and want the best for you. Keep up the good work. ❤

He got sober when I was in my early 20's .He was an amazing person, and dad once he stayed clean. He never let me down. 30+ years sober thanks to AA and God. Again, congratulations.

My 9 year old grand son spent his as we walked around. 2 men were singing for money to help them. $50 went to them. 2 others sleeping received the other $50. I have never been more proud. ❤❤

Knate, you never cease to amaze me with your humble compassion for your fellow human beings. You have a gift to communicate with others and reach out with kindness while treating everyone with dignity and respect. The lives you've touched, and continue to have an impact on, are better for having met you. May God Bless and protect you both.

    Look at the difference in his smiles from the beginning to now. What a difference doing it one day at a time.
    I have been laid out from a back injury, for over a year. So many people have helped me and continue to help me. One day early summer I had gotten home but could not walk yet from my back spasms. My car is near the dumpster, a man with a bike found something and asked if he could have it. We talked a bit, and I found out he was avoiding going home because his adult children were trying to get him to go to rehab.
    All I said was "give it a try, living like this isn't working for you. You deserve a better life. You are worth it."
    I saw him right before Christmas and he did go to rehab.He walked up to me shook my hand and thanked for those words of encouragement. It was like a gift from God. I helped someone else. Just at the right moment I said he was Worthy. ❤
