Without a long diatribe,I am asking if you could hold our family in prayer as my wifes younger sister(40),history of drug/alcohol and mental issues is in ICU unit for suicide attempt.My wife just went over now and we are still following up on the situation.We took the 14 years old son overnite,this weekend as there was a charge of domestic violence against(her name is Diane,so you can lift her name up)which turned out to be totally untrue,the 14 yr old also diagnosed with many different emotional disturbances one of delusion/pathological lying and violence.Diane called late last night and for the hundreth time OF subtle references to taking herself out... said she was tired of it all and life was no good etc..Totally Xanex"ed out and really sluggish.we told her to get to bed and tomorrow we will talk further.....I am praying that my wife does not take on any guilt over 'should we have done something" etc The boyfriend was home9father of one of the children)..My mother in law/totally dealing with Dimensia and ALZTHIMERS is talking of flying up from Florida(were in Ne yORK) so there are a lot of things going on.The children will need placement and the father of one of the children is an illegal alien creating even more trying situations.We are.as always,trusting in God's plan,maybe will be an opportunity for Diane to get help she needs and also the family.We do know that life is full of pain and sorrow we also know who is in charge and prayer is so important for our family.I have called my sponsor and just shared situation.We are okay,upset but moving forward in God;s grace and praying for His mercy!! Thanks for being here...I share the pain that befalls myself and others around me and rely on God's grace and the support of people just like me in trying situations...Talk to you when I do.. peace in God!..

Sucks what this comes down to sometimes, man what a mess. to bad some of us cant just surrender early before the onset of all this CRAP and work the program instead of having to go thru so much drama, i say that because I had to go thru a butt load of garbage myself and it sucked, every damn day sucked.
But like you said maybe this will be her moment, her chance, humility, willingness, honesty, what brutal affairs we go thru getting to that place of openmindness!.
I'm praying for you, Mike for healing for your whole family. I am going through some issues right now with my brother as well. It is very difficult to know exactly what to do in these family situations. Thank goodness we have God.
