Sounds like your mom is being kind and loving to help him get on his feet and he is not doing much to help himself. Sounds like with the lying to your mom he is manipulating her to get what he wants. If your cousin were out on his own, forced to sort out his own life maybe that would help him more in the long run? Perhaps your mom is taking responsibility for his life, rather he needs to take responsibility for his own life. Sometimes as Christians we do too much for another person making difficult situations worse. It is not easy to deal with a person like this. Some people can only be helped with tough love. Sounds like you are angry too, and have every right to be as you watch him mistreat your mom. I pray that God will enable and equip your mom and yourself, and strengthen you with Godly wisdom, direct your steps and decisions in handling your cousin. That God will heal the hurts caused by your cousin. That God will make a way for your cousin to meet with Jesus Christ. This is a long journey it would seem, may God be with you all. Shalom.

May the Lord truly bless each of you as you walk one step at a time with Him. Every thought and need I had was addressed in one form or another by your prayers and encouraging comments. I know that I need to keep my eyes on Him and walk with Him even when I don't understand or feel like He's with me. Of course that means that I need to be more in the Word but it also means that I haven't stopped to really listen to His direction for me. I am without a job and I don't want to lose our house but I know that those are just earthly things and my focus needs to be on Him. It's not about me.... it's all about Him. Truly may God bless each one of you in your walks with the Lord. As I sat here and read all the input from you sisters in the Lord, I felt like all the troubles I have are just wisps in the wind.
