OT - Prayer Request for a child
Tina wrote:
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 Oh, I can believe it! My sister in law worked in the field for years (worked for the local council for the kids on the child protection list as a lawyer), and the number of times months of hard work was wasted by daft court decisions... Mind you, I should think his talking about suicide would be a good indicator of the damage his father has done.

OT - Prayer Request for a child
I was in a somewhat similar circumstance when I was 13. Kids just need
to know they didn't cause the problem and it isn't their job to fix it. Kids aren't the reason for a divorce and it isn't their job to make parents happy. It is Billy's job to be Billy and tell all the adults exactly how he feels, what he thinks, and what is his wish in the matter. If he doesn't know how he feels, it's his job to tell the adults that too. That is all he is equipped to handle at his age. He can't make mom well (although I know that is tearing him apart) and he can't make dad happy. He doesn't need to be strong, that's the adults' jobs, not his. I'm praying that, whomever else he has to talk to, he will be told he wasn't put here on earth to fix his parents problems. Billy is a wonderful kid with a really, really great mom. Please tell Billy for me that it was hard, but I got through it, and he will too. He has lots of "aunts" out here who truly care what happens to him. Tina wrote: 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 |

Phyllis, that was so very true and so beautifully put! I went through
the same as well, and vowed never, ever to put my children through that. The best intentions - but my ex sure doesn't see it that way unfortunately. I just keep trying to remind Billy, it's NOT his fault and I am so sorry that he has been put in this situation. Even my daughter now, called me last night crying and angry that dad had called her and is still doing the same to her. Now she feels twice as guilty that this is all her fault for leaving home. He can't understand and won't in a million years - that what he is doing IS the reason she left! She didn't want to feel that she had to choose mom OR dad and by moving away, somewhere else, she was hoping to be free of it and be out of the middle. She told me again last night, in tears, "Mom, he will never stop doing this to us, until he is dead or in jail!" What a horrible thing to have to feel about her own dad. It just breaks my heart. Thank you for your understanding, your compassion and your prayers! Tina |

Yep, lots of prayers coming from here, Tina. And by all means, get those
professionals to testify against his Dad, about how harmful this all is to him. I agree with you completely about trying to stop all visits if possible. It's tearing up the kid's mind and emotions. Yep, strong prayers coming from here. Karen, Queen of Squishies |
