I hope I don't have to worry!

My son-in-law was working in Staten Island, a 3 1/2 hour trip from their new house
upstate. He was making great money. He worked it out to stay down here in their old house, which hasn't been sold yet, for 3 days every week. He's an electrician and union rates are very high, so they were doing fine.

His father holds the deed to the Staten Island house. He is an enabler, and I think Jessie talked him into finally leaving that job. There were several major problems with the job anyway. More than that, she doesn't want him around his Dad at this point. He's not drinking and their marriage is working out very well. I say
nothing about what I think, and I find that's best. I can't really say whether she's right or wrong anyway. She knows him and he's much happier not drinking.

He's been applying all over for work near where they live, but at this point, isn't working. He's pretty depressed that he's not working. I'm sure he's scared too - no more father to enable him, a house, a wife and 3 kids and no job.

I'm hoping a job turns up very soon. It won't pay what he was getting most likely, but he'll be home all week, etc. I'm just hoping and praying that he doesn't begin to drink again. I really feel for him. Alcohol is so hard to get off of and stay off.

Please send a prayer their way. Thanks!
