OT - Prayer Request for a child
He definitely has my prayers. Give him a hug for me.
-- Mary http://community.webshots.com/user/mardor1948 "Tina" wrote in message oups.com... Being the very appreciative recipient of a huge bundle of love and prayers this week, I feel almost ashamed to ask for prayers today - but I absolutely have to. Not for myself though, for Billy. It's a long, years old story - but it appears that we are headed back to court again. Since my daughter left home and I am headed to NIH to try and get a handle on my health issues - my ex has decided that this all means that I am not a fit mother (again) and that my son should be taken away from me and go to live with this alcoholic and abusive man and his family. This is just tearing Billy to pieces! His dad apparently worked on him heavily this past Saturday, trying to convince him that he "wants" to go live with his dad. It creates intense feelings of guilt, insecurity and fear for the poor child because he doesn't want to leave his mom, he doesn't want to hurt his dad...... it's a long story and far too much to expect a child to deal with. He is still in therapy and had an extremely rough session with her on Wednesday. Yesterday we went to his psychiatrist and she has now diagnosed him with Severe Depressive Disorder. (He asked me on Sunday if I knew how long it takes somebody to die if they stab themself. When I asked him why he would ask such a question, he told me it was because he wants to die. He doesn't want to go through this any more!) It is really heartbreaking and unfortunately, there isn't anything I can do to stop the situation at the moment except to prepare to go through the court battle again and try to put a permanent stop to it this time. The most important and valuable thing (I feel) that I can do for him at this moment - is to pray. Whatever form that takes for you, I'd appreciate it immensely on Billy's behalf. A good thought, a pagan blessing, a Goddesses wish, whatever - Billy and I just need all the faith and hope we can get at the moment and we'll take it in any way we can get it! Thank you again with all my heart for your Hugs and prayers already, and thank you even more so, for Billy Tina |

Kate G. - that is EXACTLY what we did last night and probably will
again tonight! It is now OUR Hug and having ALL of you to wrap aroundd BOTH of us, is more comforting than you could possibly imagine right now. Kate D. - Can you believe, that after just having gone through this custody/court battle not even a year ago - the courts believe that it is best for children to be given the chance to have SOME kind of relationship with their biological parent, no matter what that parent is like or does! Short of physically threatening the life of the child - they will continue to allow this man to have some kind of contact with these children until he is proven REPEATEDLY to be a detriment to their physical and/or mental health and safety! This time - I have four therapists and even more documentation than before - I just hate it that we have to go through all of that again to prove it! I thhank you all, repeatedly! Tina |

Prayers and hugs for you and Billy, Tina. Having been through the
repeating custody battle scene myself I have some understanding of some of your troubles. You certainly have been handed a handful all at once though. Best wishes Marilyn in Alberta |

OT - Prayer Request for a child
Tina, you and Billy most definitely have my hugs and prayers. Having been
through years of custody battles with DH over his daughters, I can certainly understand your anguish and pain. BTDT got so many of those T-shirts I could make a quilt with them. It makes me so angry when a parent tried to alienate a child from the other parent. But I won't get on my soapbox tonight. Just know that you have my prayers. And remember, there's always a rainbow somewhere. Hugs, Mika http://community.webshots.com/user/mikasdrms "Tina" wrote in message oups.com...

Oh good grief, this is terrible, Tina. I'm so very sorry. But, thank
goodness Billy is still talking to you about it. I'll do all that I can in the prayer department. I will offer tomorrow's Mass for him specially. I know you are terribly busy before going away, but could you possible make him a little Hug quilt? He saw you receive yours, and he would understand if it was only a small one at the moment. I know he has a quilt you have made him, but perhaps a little quilt - even if it was just squares joined together - labelled as yours was "HUG", would give him a little 'anchor' while you are gone?
