MY  NAME IS CAROL, AND I AM A 38YR OLD MOTHER OF 3. ONE AGE 11, 2 AGE 16.

IN THEIR LITTLE LIVES THUS FAR THEY LOST THEIR FATHER IN A DRUNK DRIVING ACCIDDENT AT AGE 5(THE 16YR OLDS) WAS PREGNANT WITH MY YOUNGEST AT THE TIME. THEN LAST YEAR MY MOTHER DIED AFTER FIGHTING A FIVE YEAR BATTLE WITH CANCER. THEY LIVED WITH HER FOR TWO YEARS PRIOR DUE TO MY ADDICTION.

NOW I AM SEEING ALOT OF DEFIANCE IN ALL I TRY DO DO AS A MOM FOR THEM. GETTING MY 11YR OLD TO DO HIS HOMEWORK IS LIKE PULLING TEETH WITH A PAIR OF PLYERS.

MY BIOLOGICAL DAUGHTER AGE 16 IS SKIPPIN' SCHOOL, ACTING OUT AT ME IN EVERY WAY IMAGINABLE, AND THEN BLAMING ME.

MY ADOPTED 16 YR OLD IS GREAT! HONOR STUDENT, ROTC, HELPS AROUND THE HOUSE ETC.

I WANT TOO FLY OFF THE HANDLE, BUT DON'T, BUT IT TAKES EVERY OUNCE OF ENERGY IN ME AND MY SPIRIT TO NOT ACT OUT. HELP! PLEASE! DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ESH THAT CAN HELP ME DEAL WITH SOME OF THIS SPIRITUALLY?
