Prayers for Another Mom in Pain

[Cheryl]

There is all kind of pain in this world, not all directly related to addiction. Tonight I am asking for prayers to be sent to another mom. Before early morning, one of my kids from work, her son, will be taken from his home and escorted to a residential treatment program out of state. He is 16 years old, the son of an addict father whom he does does know and a mother who still suffers from the abusive behaviors of an addict mother. Really good people, non-addicts, but still suffering from the reaches of addiction.

My student from work suffers from depression and impulsive self-injurious behavior resulting in multiple hospitalizations. He is bright, a writer of rap music, a really nice kid who last attempted to harm himself with a saw. He undoubtedly will feel angry and betrayed tonight, with the "I hate you's" directed toward his mom. I grieve for her pain, like many of us, this is not what she planned for her son.

I pray that this is the "right thing" for my student and his mom, and that their family may heal.

Thank you all for the prayers. He got off okay, but his 8 year old brother is having a hard time with it. Pain can run so deep in a family.
