I grew up with mental health problems myself, and this turned into frequent visits to mental institutions and a more and more heavy drug-abuse when I was no longer allowed to be a parent for my son. Now gladly he don't live far away, but my brother, my sister in law and 4 nieces have introduced him to a normal, healthy family, but he is struggling terribly, is only 14, but seem filled with dark thoughts, OCD and depression and anxiety it seems like, things I feel I recognize from what I used to live with myself as a teenager, about feeling ugly, about being only bad, having no good abilities, even if he's a very good boy and very kind, still he have no friends, and don't seem to see any meaning in anything, but talk a lot about the meaninglessness of death, that we live such a short time on earth and then we die and that's it - is what he think is true, even if I've tried to talk about Jesus, generally I guess my opinion don't bear much weight, since I don't do so well in life myself and only recently managed to stop using drugs, but still are struggling with many things. I wish I could be a normal parent, and have what I needed to teach him how to deal with life. It was a fervent wish for me, that whatever happened, I only wished he wouldn't ever have to struggle with mental health issues like I've had to do, but it seems he will have to walk through many hard trials in life himself.
So please pray for my son. He's the only one I have and will ever have, and I wish so deeply for him to just enjoy life, to find faith in Jesus and not having to live with such dark thoughts as it seems like he do now. Pray all you can, that he will become a great man of God, and inspire others to seek and find the truth in time. To get friends, to find love, to live a life he can enjoy. I wish I could take what hurts him and instead carry it myself, but I can't. Only Jesus can. Pray for us. I beg all of you sisters and brothers, to find compassion for this child.
