OT - Prayer Request for a child
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 |

Thank you again with all my heart for your Hugs and prayers already, and thank you even more so, for Billy Prayers are one thing everyone is capable of giving. It is never inappropriate to ask for prayers for someone's health (emotional or physical). And I'm glad to add both Billy (and you!) to the list of people I pray for today. It must be so difficult to watch him suffer emotionally. I'll add another prayer and hope that your ex is doing what he does out of concern for his son, and that he searches his soul and comes to a realization of what it is that Billy *really* needs. |

Tina, All my thoughts for you and your son Billy are on their way. Make
sure that Billy crawls under that Hug with you. Talk to him and tell him how important he is and assure him that this is not his fight. I am glad he is going for therapy. Some adults are just plain evil in their selfishness. Linda in Tx |

OMG! Tina! You and Billy both have my prayers and continual good
thoughts. It is hell being the child of divorced parents when one side doesn't "play fair". It builds strength and a compassion for others when you see them going through it though -- that's the only sense of purpose I have been able to make out of the warped split family issues I had to deal with as a minor. I pray that Billy will find a way to handle this and come out the better for it. *comforting hugs to you both* Tricia |
