prayers for my sister-a financial Titanic going down......

[warthog]

PLEASE,PLEASERAY FOR MY SISTER!!!This is the short version-she has a $133,000.00 mortgage on her house,a SECOND $82,000,00-on the SAME house-she co-signed a 2nd mortgage for her oldest son-so HE can buy a 2nd house(He is close to losing his 1st house thru forclosure);;Her youngest son in debt to credit cards into the mid-30's(she told me his MINIMUM payments on these credit cards is$812.00 a monthWhat does she do?Her and her husband have some of his credit-card accounts transferred into their names-WHY???Her answer:"So they can get a better interest rate-because their youngest son is a high credit risk".......So,I ask you allLEASE PRAY FOR THEM-i love my sister and her family dearly,but,to put it bluntly;NONE of them have the financial common sense of a tree-frog-they all are standing at the edge of the abyss-one little nudge,and down they all go..I told her yesterday"the LORD help you if any one of you get sick and cant work'..she looked at me and said something like"THAT would be the final curtain"......

...before they can stand up on two feet. I know someone in that same kind of situation. Makes you wonder what people are thinking. (or why they're NOT thinking).

The problem is,my sister is not a kid-shes getting within shouting range of 60....she puts up with whatever kind of story her kids will dish out.......ALL of them are completely clueless-AND BRAINLESS- when it comes to finances-She is supposed to be retiring soon-BUT,because she lets her kids walk all over her-one is 31,the other mid 20s-And,instead of forcing her kids to stand on their own and telling them "look here,Im retiring soon-its your lives,deal with it yourselves"-she has made the worst mistake she could make with her kids-she is doing EVERYTHING for them-even now,to this day-I tell you,if something happens to my sister because of this;there are 2 nephews of mine that are not gonna like me very much-because I am going to tell them just what I think of the way they have treated my sister-THEIR MOTHER-all these years....I am family,and I have the right-there are 2 sides to every story,though-the most irritating aspect of this whole disaster for me is my sister not standing up for herself...............

to think about herself and her retirement and let the chips fall where they may concerning her children! Yes, we can help but not to the point they are like babies and need mama's care all their lives!

She's doing an injustice to them all and fall they will when she no longer can afford to help them due to finanacial woes and older age! Will they help her when she needs it or will they forget she even exists? They sound very selfish and need a good spanking from God, our Father and He's the One Who can do it!

God Bless!
