Racey
Please pray for my high school son. He has a good heart but has been through a lot. From the time he can remember we have struggled financially and not been able to give him the same things as his older brother. I have had to say no to so many things he has asked to do with friends or sports lessons or things that make kids feel like they belong. He ha truly handled it well and always appreciated what I could give and hand me downs. He so wants to fit in on a small sports team. He has been made fun of because of his clothes (which he likes), because his dad hardly works and drinks, because of the way he plays the sport etc. There was an issue this week with a teammate and my son slapped at him. The coach saw but has no idea what my son is going through with some of these boys. He won’t tell on them and eventually his temper comes out. He has said some not so nice things as well. I feel like my sons life has been to hard because of our home situation and that he doesn’t have the friendships he longs for because of us not having the funds for him to join inor being able to even afford having these kids to our home. He seems more isolated, has almost no relationship with his dad because of all he has put us through. He feels like he lives in his brother’s shadow who is a college athlete. Pray for me to know how to handle this. Pray the consequences to him will be fair and that the other kids will have appropriate consequences as well. Pray for him to find a few true friends. And pray he won’t suffer depression as I see those patterns in myself and my biggest fear is he will just give up.
