Family Ties

[prayingmother]

....Well, my oldest daughter still stays away and disconnected since my grandson made a very serious accusation. I have privileges to go see her and the boys, but my husband can't. I have her recorded where she's accusing my husband about one thing, the next day, she called and retracted the whole story (I have that recorded as well). Then, the following weekend, the accusations went flying again. Sooooooooooo, needless to say, there has been a lot of hurt in my family. A separation I thought would never happen. I'm torn either way. That's my daughter and grandson, and then here's my husband, who is very hurt. The reasons why the stories go up and down is because my daughter drinks heavily. Her personality changes like the wind when she drinks. I never know what kind of mood she'll be in everytime I talk with her. I miss her and my grandson (3) and wish things weren't the way they are.

My second daughter stays away from home, not out of anger, but because she's at that age where she's trying to find herself. She seems to be doing well, however, I don't hear from her as often as I'd like. I miss her as well. She will be 20 this year.

My youngest is my son who just turned 18. He lives here at home, but is very quiet and reserved. There are things going on with him, but I think it's the age, too. We're looking forward to him graduating this summer. His reserved behavior keeps a wall between us at times and I feel very disconnected with him when he does that.

I pray that my children realize how short life is and stop this "keeping away" stuff. We have always been a very close family. Somewhere along the way things changed. Well, at least, my children have. As their mother, I lay here at times wondering where they are and what they could be doing. I try not to worry, but I do get concerned when I don't hear from either one of them. I have taught them the importance of communication and well, it seems as if that's part of their rebellious part sometimes, because they now, at their age, have control of how much communication they allow to share. I don't need to know every single moment of their lives. I'd be happy just knowing that they're doing ok......

Maybe it's just me and my handling of this growing up situation. I don't know. Either way, I'd like for someone to pray for us all for all the details I've shared. I'm going to try to get some sleep now before I have to get up in about an hour to go to work. Thank you and God bless. <3

Lord, I pray that You bring Your Peace, healing and deliverance to this family. I pray that they would each of them know You and walk with You in their daily lives, which makes such a difference in all the challenges each human being has to go through. You are the Rock of our salvation. I pray this family would know You as their Rock, each of them. I pray You bring comfort and healing to the broken hearted in this family. And deliverance from addiction. In Jesus Name. amen
