My 15 year old is in a Christian Treatment Center for Drugs and cutting. She has been doing so well. She slipped about 1 1/2 weeks ago and took a razor to her wrists. I cried when she called and told me about it. Well I got word today from her older sister who also resides in this treatment center that Nikki has been pulling away from people and kind of going to that really bad place. Nikki recently yelled at me that she is sick of praying because God isn't listening. It just hurt my heart because I can see such wonderful changes. I can only talk to her 3 times a week for 15 minutes and can only see her on Saturdays for 3 hours. Tomorrow I am going to contact her Dean of Girls and talk with her. I am really worried. Prior to treatment (I have placed her in more than one center) I nearly lost her more than once. OD - I just can't stand the thought of her hurting herself. Check out my profile to see her. She is my heart. Just like my other girls. I'm just so sad this evening. I don't know what kind of prayers but I know that the Lord just needs to work on her to get her to a good place.

I just sent up prayers for her and you. Let me offer you some encouragement-I hope. I used to be a cutter myself and was so far in that deep pit that I could not see out. I attempted suicide 3 times-more for attention than really trying. I have since learned that cutters usually do not want to really hurt themselves, and I can say for me that was true. I just wanted the inside pain to go away. I was raised in church, but I was sure that God hated me. I was so scared. My mom prayed and prayed for me-I was 23 w it happened. She asked God to bring me back to her. I didn't want her to pray either but she did anyway. I was much better in just a few months.I quit cutting. I started therapy and my meds started decreasing from 7 to the 3 I take now. I am a born-again sold out for Jesus Christian and I know that my God has only good plans for me. I am sure that God is going to use the pain that the Devil meant to harm me for Good to help others. I know that the prayers of my mother helped bring me back. She never gave up and she still prays for me every day. The only difference is that I now pray for her too. Keep posting-keep praying-God will see you through this-hugs-Amy

Oh Amy my heart aches for you and for your daughter Nikki. I pray that the Lord would set her free from this bondage of lies from the Enemy and that she would see Jesus as He truly is...the Lover fo her soul. Do not give up on God in this trial...He is more than able to help and deliver her and your other daughter. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus...His love knows no bounds and His love is what reaches us even in the depths of despair. You have my prayers Amy and my love, Joan M
