A year ago January I married my husband. We were both overjoyed to find that someone special in our middle aged years. His family opened their arms and happily welcomed me into their lives.

A few months after we married my husband's brother in law died from lung cancer. At first his sister, Terri, seemed to be grieving normally and family checked up on her regularly. She had been with her husband over 30 years.

The past 5-6 months though she has gone to the wild side of life. She has this boyfriend and she has gotten hooked on drugs (methamphetamines) and they have resorted to stealing to get drug money, even though she has an income. He has not worked since I've known him, and she has a 22 year old son with severe learning disabilities and mental disorders. She gets her son to do chores around the house by telling him if he does them she will give him money for dope.

This past weekend she and her boyfriend were caught stealing gas from U-Haul trucks and putting it in gallon size jugs to sell to others to get money for drugs. The boyfriend is now in jail and because she has some severe health problems she was allowed to return home, but they confiscated her car.

Please pray for her, for salvation, and delivery from drug addiction, and for God to remove that man from her life. She needs a huge wake up call!! Please pray for her son because he needs protection and needs to learn that the way his mother has been allowing him to do things is not right! Pray for a mighty miracle for this family. Its to the point that some of us are seriously thinking about getting Adult Protective Services involved for the sake of her son.
