Please pray for my nephew, Mick.  I got a phone call early yesterday morning from his father....it seems Mick was drinking again and cut his wrists really bad.  I went to see him yesterday at the hospital, he had to get over 30 stapels in his arm.  They sent him to a 'behavior institution' last night. 

 

He is only 19.  He has had such a hard life so far.  His dad left the family and moved far away, across the country,leaving his mom with 4 little kids.   His mom, my sister, died a few years ago, Mick came to live with me for a couple years, but then he went to live with his sister and after that it kinda went down hill.  He didn't go to school anymore and he didn't get along with his sisters husband so he left and was living with some other people.  I found out yesterday that the people were not a good influence at all.

 

God, I should have MADE him stay with me. 

 

He told me he just "wanted to die".  It just tore my heart out.  He used to really look up to my son, Jesse, who was HIS age when HE committed suicide.  I told him what ever problems he is having they won't last forever and that I loved him and he could stay with me WHENEVER he wanted.  (I may force him to stay with me)  He was always happy when he was with me.  He went to school everyday and even went out all by himself and got a little job after school and was gettig really good grades.  I dont know......I dont know why he wanted to live with his sister.  Then with those people.  I think he wanted to be "on his own" to feel grown up or something.

 

Sorry this is so long.  I just wanted to ask you guys to keep Mick in your prayers, he needs them REAL bad.  He feels so hopeless.  What is it with 19 year old guys that they get so depressed???  

 

Thank you,

luv,sue
