[Faith-talk] Prayers for my family

[Ericka]

Those new to the list wouldn’t know, but my family back home in Wisconsin is dealing with a lot of craziness. I have a cousin who is dealing with ADHD and mental health issues through alcohol. Things aren’t going any better and the psychiatrist that he does see my cousin isn’t listening to either. Now my cousin has a court date and is ignoring some parts of the terms before he goes to court for battery and DWI. I pray for my aunt safety. My cousin is living with her and all the stress of his abuse – most the time verbal Dash is not good for her lupus. My aunt is not his mother. His dad has passed away and his mother is in a nursing home. I don’t buy my cousins manipulation because I used to be married to someone with OCD & other issues. I probably said more than i ought but keep my family, my aunt, and others affected in prayer. My fervent prayer is that my cousin realize that he is the only one who can make choices and change his life. He’s trying to blame everyone else for what happens. This guy is almost 40 so he needs to grow up and learn how to handle Life better. I could have been made on my life about a lot of things to including having a disability but I’ve always done something about it and not blamed people.

I also feel guilty for being happy that I am seven hours away from mess.
