Being the very appreciative recipient of a huge bundle of love and
prayers this week, I feel almost ashamed to ask for prayers today - but
I absolutely have to. Not for myself though, for Billy.

It's a long, years old story - but it appears that we are headed back
to court again. Since my daughter left home and I am headed to NIH to
try and get a handle on my health issues - my ex has decided that this
all means that I am not a fit mother (again) and that my son should be
taken away from me and go to live with this alcoholic and abusive man
and his family.

This is just tearing Billy to pieces! His dad apparently worked on him
heavily this past Saturday, trying to convince him that he "wants" to
go live with his dad. It creates intense feelings of guilt, insecurity
and fear for the poor child because he doesn't want to leave his mom,
he doesn't want to hurt his dad...... it's a long story and far too
much to expect a child to deal with.

He is still in therapy and had an extremely rough session with her on
Wednesday. Yesterday we went to his psychiatrist and she has now
diagnosed him with Severe Depressive Disorder. (He asked me on Sunday
if I knew how long it takes somebody to die if they stab themself.
When I asked him why he would ask such a question, he told me it was
because he wants to die. He doesn't want to go through this any more!)

It is really heartbreaking and unfortunately, there isn't anything I
can do to stop the situation at the moment except to prepare to go
through the court battle again and try to put a permanent stop to it
this time.

The most important and valuable thing (I feel) that I can do for him at
this moment - is to pray. Whatever form that takes for you, I'd
appreciate it immensely on Billy's behalf. A good thought, a pagan
blessing, a Goddesses wish, whatever - Billy and I just need all the
faith and hope we can get at the moment and we'll take it in any way we
can get it!

Thank you again with all my heart for your Hugs and prayers already,
and thank you even more so, for Billy
Tina

Kate G. - that is EXACTLY what we did last night and probably will
again tonight! It is now OUR Hug and having ALL of you to wrap aroundd
BOTH of us, is more comforting than you could possibly imagine right
now.

Kate D. - Can you believe, that after just having gone through this
custody/court battle not even a year ago - the courts believe that it
is best for children to be given the chance to have SOME kind of
relationship with their biological parent, no matter what that parent
is like or does! Short of physically threatening the life of the child
- they will continue to allow this man to have some kind of contact
with these children until he is proven REPEATEDLY to be a detriment to
their physical and/or mental health and safety!

This time - I have four therapists and even more documentation than
before - I just hate it that we have to go through all of that again to
prove it!

I thhank you all, repeatedly!
Tina

Prayers and hugs for you and Billy, Tina. Having been through the
repeating custody battle scene myself I have some understanding of some
of your troubles. You certainly have been handed a handful all at once
though.

Best wishes

I'm so sorry this all has to resurface for the two of you Tina. Waves (in
fact tsunamis) of positive thoughts for you both.

Tina, you and Billy most definitely have my hugs and prayers. Having been
through years of custody battles with DH over his daughters, I can certainly
understand your anguish and pain. BTDT got so many of those T-shirts I could
make a quilt with them. It makes me so angry when a parent tried to alienate
a child from the other parent. But I won't get on my soapbox tonight. Just
know that you have my prayers. And remember, there's always a rainbow
somewhere.

Hugs,
Mika

Oh good grief, this is terrible, Tina. I'm so very sorry. But, thank
goodness Billy is still talking to you about it.
I'll do all that I can in the prayer department. I will offer
tomorrow's Mass for him specially.
I know you are terribly busy before going away, but could you possible
make him a little Hug quilt? He saw you receive yours, and he would
understand if it was only a small one at the moment. I know he has a
quilt you have made him, but perhaps a little quilt - even if it was
just squares joined together - labelled as yours was "HUG", would give
him a little 'anchor' while you are gone?
Hold on - somehow.
