I feel exhausted all the time.I have my 3 sons,their wives living here and 2 newborns in a small house.My huband's kidney's are failing.My sons must be in denial.They won't even empty the garbage for him. I lost my daughter and daddy and a good friend within the past year and death is beginning to look better and better.Why are children so selfish? They all work but don't give him a dime on the light bill or water bill which has doubled.He won't say anything to them,I don't know how much more I can take.I have no enery,no motivation I feel dead on the inside.I am too tired to pray.I am on anti depressants.I do work but have no insurance.I couldn't even cry when daddy died.

Sure thing!
I sincerely and humbly pray to God to help you in all that you do, to give you strength, to help your children realize that they're in the dark and need to realize their mistakes.
Don't worry, they'll learn soon. But don't you think you should talk to them about it? Make them realize that if they're STILL gonna live under your roof as married men, then they must support you in everything they can. Be careful of your words, though, since who knows how they'll take it! From the way it seems, they'll probably think something like, "Our OWN mother wanting us to PAY for her???" Silly them, don't they know that you, as their mother, did your job in raising them and taking care for them when they were kids and now it's THEIR turn to do the same to you--to take care of you, to be there for you every step of the way, to feed you and to clothe you? If they don't know this yet, then I think it's your responsibility to sit down with them and TALK to them about this. "Sons, dear, I think that you should help around the house a little bit since you live here. Your father's sick and needs your comfort and help, and I don't have too much energy to do everything around here either. If nothing else, can one of you at least take the responsibility of emptying the trash? ... And, look, the bills are getting to my head as well. You people work and make money; don't you think you should jump in and help lessen the burden for me and your father in the payments at least?"
Something like that. Maybe they're so busy with their lives and own families that they don't realize how they're treating their own parents! This is a very common problem among most of today's grown children.
I'm sincerely sorry for all the losses that you've suffered, but don't lose hope. You're not alone, either. :D
And S-M-I-L-E! Smile every now and then even if you find no reason to!
Peace and blessings of God be upon you, and I hope your sons will get better and more supportive!

You can take a page from labor unions - do a work slow down. If you don't do the work for people it forces them to do the work for themselves. No need to run yourselve into the ground with all those other hands capable of doing work.
Just a suggestion.

Okay. Done.
This I will tell you; you have time to be here, but you don't have time to pray? You have many reasons for faith, but you chose not to act on it? Do you want help? Pick a promise from God and act on it. Of course, this wil take some time because you will have to spend time reading the Bible in order to find it. What are the chances that you are not into the Bible?
It sounds like you need to get away at times. Go to a coffee shop alone with your Bible. Stop worrying about things just for that time.
Throw away all the alcohol.

Solomae,
I will gladly say a prayer for you. But don't forget that God helps those who help themselves. You are already on antidepressants, your sons need to find their own homes.
You need to get rid of the stress factors in your life, and right now it is your sons! If they are old enough to be married and are working, they need to move out !
I know you love them and it will be hard for you, but it needs to be done ! Tell them exactly how you feel.
God Bless and Good Luck to you !

Praying for you will do you no good. It's time you took charge and booted those deadbeat sons out. If they are old enough to be married then they are old enough to take responsibility for their own lives. They are only using you because you allow them to. Cut the apron strings.

I'll be praying for you, but, you know, God helps those that help themselves. Tell your sons to chip in or get out. They are using you and will continue to do so as long as you allow it. I realize you have concerns for the babies.....so do I. The Bible says to pray for those who spitefully use you, so pray for them. God will help you...................
My condolences for the loss of your daddy.....I lost mine a few years ago.

Heavenly Father I pray for this person that you would comfort them and provide relief, that they will know you are God, and that you are a God who cares----"For the prayer of the righteous availeth much" knowing that it is not our own personal righteousness, but the righteousness of Christ given for us that you bless. I ask these things in Jesus name, Thy name in human flesh, through the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Let me know anything I can do to help
Yours in Christ.
