I NEED YOUR PRAYERS!!!

Weather you pray, meditate or whatever please send your thoughts my family's way and my nephew's way!!


Dh and I got a phone call yesterday from Dh's sister asking again if we could take her older son who is 12 for spring break. She said he is having problems again...ughhh!!! I am so mad!!!


For those of you who have been on here for a while this is the nephew that Dh and I cared for over the summer. This is a kid who everyone said had adhd and other crap.


NOT TRUE!!! He thrived in our home and we never once had a problem with him. He was so happy and was adjusting so well. Then his mom got a new boyfriend (happens at least three times a year since her oldest who is 17 was born, and decided she wanted to play house again. These kids have been through h e double hockey sticks and back. Her two oldest daughters both live in different homes with relatives and the little ones are shipped around all over the state of Texas depending on where the new boyfriend lives.


In the phone call yesterday we were told that the 12 year old is in an alternative school ( AHHHHHHHH) and seeing an physiatrist and on medication!!! OH GOD I AM SO TICKED OFF!!!


I swear there is nothing wrong with this child except he is neglected completely and totally. I am stunned that a psychiatrist would think he needs medication...it is the ADULTS in his life that need the medication!! There is a four year old brother who also will be leaving to go to his dad's (separate dad) but he also stayed with us last summer, and I don't want to see the boys separated. If Dh and I get the boys again we are going to fight for custody, but we have to play it cool for now. These are such loving and caring boys and I can literally see there little souls losing it's will.


Well here is the dilemma. Our Van died about a week ago, which has not been a big deal because we have three separate family members in my family that live 5 minutes away from us. Plus Dh's job is just across the street from our house. Well now she asked us to come and get the 12 year old...although we are going to try and get the 4 year old too. But we do not have a car! Please pray that something happens, we get a car or that someone in my family lends us one or we are able to rent one...please pray that we are able to get them here!

I'm a praying kind of gal. You, your family and the boys are all being tucked into my prayers ... and will continue to do so until this gets resolved!


How horrible to have all that happening to those poor kids. My DH went through various "adopted" dads when his mum was single, and it has left some damage for his whole life. He's a darling man, but he has low self-esteem and struggles with depression .... Most of that comes from such a rocky childhood ... If you can help those little guys, go for it. They're needing someone

How far away are they? Is there someone at your church that could help out?

Traci,

I will be praying for you and your family. I also thank God, that those kids have you and your dh in thier lives. At least they can get some form of stability from you. Bless you for all you do for them.

I am so sorry that those children and you guys are having to put up with this.
How horrible for a mother to do that to her children because of a man.
I hope and pray that they are safe and remain with you guys. I also hope you get a car soon.
