I need prayers for myself. I am doing so much and praying for so many people that I feel that I am neglecting myself, physically and spiritually. I feel so weak and tire and sometimes just want to give up the task I have been given. I am homeschooling three kids. Only one is my child. I took on my niece who is 12 and has her problems. She is a habitual liar and doesn’t do her work. Her mom wants me to just give her "F"s if she doesn’t do the work, but I want her to apply herself and do the work. She is lazy but also suffering from depression due to child abuse from her dad. Her parents her divorce. Her mom, my sister has so much anger that she doesn’t deal with her correctly, but with sarcasm and that doesn’t help her. I can only do so much. I am not her mother. Her mother told me today that next year she will put her in school. I have only one year to help this girl if I can. Than I have my nephew who is a very slow learner and is 18 yr old and should be done with school,but is at a fourth grade level due to his mother not homeschooling him properly. He is so behind academically. I have gotten him to read second grade books to fifth grade books in two months by just reading daily. That is all he needed. He fights with his mother constantly and there is no respect there and that is why I took him on so that I can prepare him for the GED even though he says he doens’t want to take that but I don’t see how he can continue the way he is going. He is at fifth grade math, but takes a long time going it. He can’t be timed in anything. He has many issues with his dad for his dad abandoned them and divorced his mother when he was 6 months old and when he came to visit him when he was 7 years old called him a retarded kid and even told him that he didn’t want another child. He is the second child. So this boy is full of rage. I have my hands full with this bunch. Than my poor daughter is having a hard time sharing me with the other in homeschooling. For two years it was her and I and now, she is frustrated she has to share me. She is acting this out in anger outburst. Sometimes,I just want to run and scream myself.
Please pray for me. I need a lot of prayers for strength to homeschool these kids. I don’t get to much help from their mothers and from my dh. He is disabled and mostly medicated. He suffers from anger issues too and so I can’t have him educating my dd for sometimes all they end up doing is fighting. So I don’t ask him to help in that area, but I could use help in the housework. I have so much shoulder pain and I think it is all this stress.
Okay, I have vented it all out. Thanks for your prayers.
