GREETINGS

Pranam swamiji. First of all i thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving a reply to my question and advicing me. I felt great comfort from that msg. I usually read your suggestions and advices, thats how i felt like asking your help. Actually swamiji, we used to give Required freedom to our son to play outdoor with his friends, use laptop etc, not too much time, but in a normal amount. Recently wwe found that he was into bad company and has used smoking and drinking and even used small amount of drug. we were totally collapsed not knowing what to do. i always used to spend time with him after school talking about his day, his friends, his experiences. always i used to advice him also but still he did this.Though we both were upset we controlled our emotions, my husband took leave from his office and went to india with him for 3 weeks. hhe spent good time with him and tried to motivate him to study for hos exam. After coming bback from india,e decided not to allow him to go out as we are afraid that height meet his friends and again do something wrong.My husband doesn’t like to see him siuse laptop also.And these things are making him more irritated.Sometimes he studies but he is doing that just for us, for our sake.He says he has no interest in marks, class 10 marks are not useful anywhere,its only for admission,so he doesn’t have any interest to study. my husband is actually very much tensed as to what should be done after this exam.My son wants to go to kerala after 10. he doesnt want to be with us.We are also afraid to take admission for him in this area again. i dont know how to console my husband and how to console him too.I am totally upset swamiji. I was only child in my family so i didnt have any experience seeing such problems.Now in my family these issues have come up i dont know how to handle it. i chant gayathri mantra whenever i get upset and tensed.It gives me some strength but still i cant control the situation.Kindly guide me swamiji.
