prayers needed for my family

[Jeniferdwn]

My family had a terrible shock on Saturday! I won't ask for prayers for myself because I've asked once already this week, but please please please pray for my mom dad and brother. My younger brother, Mac, is 30, he was very sick as a baby and was very pampered and sheltered. He had lots of medical issues growing up and I remember times in the hospitals when the doctors would tell us all we could do was wait and see. If he makes it through the night he's got a good chance of surviving. So, we all babied him and he got away with everything. Well, as he grew older, the same thing, they babied him and let him slide through with no consequences. He has a double major in Business Management and Accounting. He's very smart and can tell you facts about anything and anywhere, but he doesn't have good common sense. He has worked as a bartender and a gopher for an attorney, but is having a hard time finding a job because he hasn't had one. Daddy has always paid his way. Well, Saturday, he packed up his clothes and some canned food and got in his car and left. We live in SC and he left for Miami. He never leaves the house, doesn't date, shop, nothing! He did go to church with daddy at a tiny little country church. He left in an old but well cared for car, no cell phone, very little money, his clothes and some canned food. He doesn't eat fast food or most ready to eat type food. He went to stay with a guy he met online playing games. They have been friends now for a couple of years and at first we thought the guy was decent. He came to stay here a couple of nights while he was traveling and he was great. He got married, had a good job and wife was pregnant. Well, something snapped, he started partying, left his wife and newborn and moved in with girlfriend. All they do is party. My brother started drinking bad a few years ago, and this is not the thing he needs to get involved with. He is going to stay with the guy and his girlfriend until "he gets on his feet". My parents are devestated and worried and they are blaming each other. He left Saturday and no one heard from him until late last night. Please please add my family to your prayer lists. He is so gullible and will follow the crowd especially if partying is involved.

I am so sorry to hear this. Is there a phone number of the guy he is going to see?
Don't hesitate to ask for prayers or anything. This board is all about caring and compassion.

Hugs, thoughts, and prayers for your entire family.

well, he didn't give the number, but when my other brother went to my dad's last night, he checked the caller ID and got the guys last name and number for my mom. My dad probably wouldn't have given it to her because they are playing the blame game right now. She blames him and he blames her. My stomach is in knots!!!
