He's a totally screwed up mess.
I cannot have him home. Not now. Not over Christmas. Not while I am grieving. I haven't the emotional energy but, more to the point, he has totally detached himself from everything and there is no way I can get through to him at the moment as well as not trusting him. There is nothing I can do for him at the moment but keep loving him and praying for him.
I need your prayers particularly because I am struggling to find him somewhere to go over Christmas. Who wants a troubled teenager who can't be trusted in their house at this time of year? Foster care is unlikely to be available in the immediate future. I have someone who will have him tonight but she's reluctant to have him much longer. Please pray that the right person comes forward - though who on earth that would be I cannot imagine.
Please pray that between social services, school, police and mental health, we can get this lovely boy through even ever so slightly intact.
It's hard at the moment, and I find myself resenting the fact that our last days with my father are being overshadowed by his total course of self-destruction which is not to do with his feelings for my Dad at the moment - we've realised he's using that as an excuse - but are far more worrying and deep seated. Please pray for us all.
