Troubled Child
Life can be so desperately troubling at times. What does one do to help a young family member who's traveling down the path to self destruction? Who's decisions have lead to the loss of their education, the endangerment of self & immediate family & worse, to impending prison time? How does one reach a lost child they love like their very own?

Sometimes they cannot be reached, I could not at the age of 19... No one understood me and I thought I was beyond help. I hated my life, my family, my friends and even myself. I quit school, got into trouble and alienated myself from everyone. On the very edge of the final finishing myself off, God stopped me. Sometimes they just have to go the distance before they will see and hear. I feel your pain, maybe all you can do is to let them know that you are there and will always be there for them now and forever no matter what happens!
