My eldest son has an habit that is asking questions repeatedly. It's an irritating one. My ex-husband who is the father of my sons was very cruel to me and my sons.Their father was a manipulator.His behaviour affected my sons many ways. My didn't teach anything my sons as a cardamom planter and a Businessman. At his age of 73 he passed away one year ago.All of sons don't know how to run the plantation. The neighbouring planter who is very passionate about cardamom plantations came to know about my sons' condition. On his personal interest he told my sons he should teach all about cardamom plantations and he is guiding my sons . Yesterday in between the conversation my eldest son asked questions repeatedly and this man got irritated. And he suddenly suddenly cut off the call. Please pray for solving the problem and for the reconciliation in Divine order through Divine Love. And for getting a better behaviour and stopping unwanted and repeating questions. My eldest son has no concentration. Please pray for taking efforts to cultivate good character and development for personality. Thank you.
