Urgent Request For Prayer And Advice!

[momof8]

Jules11,

Are any authorities involved? If so, I would think your brother would not be allowed to refuse to get treatment for his son. A child who has been abused is at great risk, as you already know and have experienced, of abusing other children. It is unfair to OTHER CHILDREN to refuse to treat this child.

Also, if your brother “sent him away”, is there any chance at all of your getting custody, and then being able to bring him to treatment, especially spiritual healing, yourself? Or could you bring him to a healing ministry w/out your brother’s consent? (Not sure I like that idea, but it is something to consider.)

I will certainly pray for your nephew and your whole family. His story is so very sad. How awful our problems get when the Lord and His Mother are not involved in the families. Mary asked that we offer things up “especially for the innocent children of the world”, and such prayers will help children like your nephew.

God bless.

My brother is not so much ‘not’ getting him help, but I don’t think it’s the ‘right’ help he needs. He’s seeing a counsellor once a month, I think… and I think he needs a psychiatrist. I would not be able to have him at all… My brother is angry at me and is acting very childish at the moment.

Things are so much worse now. My mother has heart problems and is quite sick at the moment.
My nephew has been expelled from school and has two weeks left til the holidays. As my bro is working, his wife would be home with his son and she says she can’t cope, so the responsibility goes onto my very sick mother!!!
I can’t believe it! She married my bro knowing he had a son and says she can’t deal with it but my mother has to???
Also my brother told my nephew that it is all his fault that his Gran is sick because HE is stressing her out!
This poor poor kid!
He has not seen his mother since July and his dad will not let him ring her as he says SHE should ring him!! He is so cruel!
He also told him that if he goes back to live with his mother, that he will never see him again!
No wonder this child has problems!
I’m at a complete loss… I cannot do anything. My mother spent the weekend crying about it, yet my bro still has the cheek to leave her with the responsibility!
My bro is stressing her out, NOT his son!
This is a terrible situation and there is no doubt about it, it will get worse. And my brother will still blame everybody else for it and not look at himself!
OH PLEASE PLEASE PRAY THAT HE WILL SEE THE TRUTH!!
This boy is my Godson… And I’m not allowed to see him.

Can you see if the local parish priest or counselor from Catholic Charities can make a house call to your mother’s for your nephew? Wow, this boy is screaming for attention and just as been his whole life, his parents aren’t giving it to him. Can you send him letters and cards of encouragment? A calling card or something where he can call you anytime he needs a listening ear? How about DCFS? Can you contact them and figure out what can be worked out b/c your nephew is being neglected by both parents and not taking care of him and his psychological needs (If he had a physical ilness that required medical attention and they ignored it, the parents would be charged and the child taken away).

My dd’s uncle is in prison for various reasons, and I believe he wouldn’t have ended up there if his parents knew better and didn’t bury their heads in the sand about all his psychological conditions (bipolar, schizophrenic, paranoid). I understand that psychology wasn’t as developed when he was a teen, but the first time he was released, they should have addressed the real issue instead of thinking it was only a drug problem. Especially since they have a family history of serious mental illness.
