Prayer Request

I am a person with a heavy heart, I ask for prayers to change the direction of things in my life. My mother has been very ill, lately, she is 83 and I do understand she is older. She was living on her own when her health started to decline, I am the only person in the family who helps her along with a caregiver that would go over a couple of hours a day. Mind you, I am in school, almost about to get my associate degree, down to 3 courses, I work and try to take care of my mom. Several times she was hospitalized until finally, I put her in a therapeutic nursing home because she was a fall risk. I allowed my son to use my car for a new job he had gotten delivering medicines over the state, to help him out, until my car under his care failed to work. He bought him a car and mine has been in the shop several times, now it won't start at all, he acts as if he doesn't want me to touch his car, I will take you here or I will take you there or I have something to do. I hope soon that my car will be in repair, but in the meantime, I have had trouble with this son before, he seems think he should always be on the receiving end and never on the giving. After I get my car in repair, I am going to limit my interaction with this son and will not loan him anything again until he learns that we are to help each other, not to take from one another. I keep telling him KARMA is something that happens, you need to watch how you treat people. He is so negative about everything and I try to keep a positive attitude about things even though they are not always how I would like them. The last three weeks have been very hard for me to get to work, get to school, visit my mom and move her furniture out of her apartment. I still continue on because I will never give up. But I do need prayers to help me sustain, and prayers to my son that his heart will lighten one day.
