Prayer Card

Please pray for these crazy fluctuating family relationships. I feel like I'm having a heart attack. Let one 7 year old grandson visit my other grandson, 8 years old. They just moved back one block away. Please, Lord protect and keep them. I drove by and heard crying so I checked and the younger has a severely bruised hip and elbow. He is a very gentle child while the other has major emotional trauma and can be very aggressive. I went and got ice at the store for it, and when I got back the adults didn't even know where the kids were. The mother said she and her friend walked up the street to a garage sale, and when they got back the boys were gone. Please, Holy Mother Mary, help these situations, or I won't be able to let them spend time together. They need supervision at their age, and it's quite an adjustment for all. Very different parenting styles, and my son will be very angry with me for letting the little one be somewhere unsafe. I feel like I'm having to tiptoe on eggshells that are more like landmines, trying not to offend or upset the 'womenfolk'. I was raised without a mother, so maybe I don't really know or understand how to navigate these constantly churning seas. My only mother has always been You, Our Holy and Blessed Virgin and advocate. Help.
