Neglected

Had information that two fine young men I know are wasting their lives away. Not entirely their faults, I believe. They are a sad tale of a family torn asunder by divorce, and I'm sure it is not and will not be the last we'll hear of in our society. I had hoped fervently that the kids would find strength somehow to pick up the broken pieces brought on by the adults. But alas, that is not to be. Jin is now in ITE, but not mixing with the right crowd. Zhan, I understand has been retained, and has made it a habit to stay away from home till the early hours of the morning. I heard that they have done cigarettes, engaged in disruptive behaviour in school, and heaven forbid, those are all the vices that I hope they are indulging in. Their care-givers, I'm sure are grieved by their behaviours. I wonder if they ever regret fighting for custody of the two. The estranged mother does not want to show it, but we all know that she is bleeding in her heart.

It's really pointless dissecting the matter over and over again . . .asking all the "what ifs" and mouthing all the "I told you so-s"

I feel helpless. Besides the power of prayer, I wish that I could do something . . .
