Prayer Request

Hello my OFF family,

Got a prayer request tonight.  My daughter and her live-in are just in a tail spin.  Things are so bad between them.  I don't know if anything can be done to save their relationship.  I'm not even sure if they should stay together.  They bring out the worst in each other.  But they have that beautiful little boy, and I believe in working hard to keep a family intact if possible.

I am paying for them to start marriage counseling tomorrow.  I have no idea if they will give it a chance or not, but please pray for them and their relationship and their counselor.  And please pray for me that I can continue to maintain my "cool" and serve as the voice of reason between these two highly volatile and emotional young adults.  The last thing this situation needs is for me to explode, too.

Thanks, my sistas!

Oh Vicki, It is so hard to watch those you love go through this, of course we will pray for all of you, most of all Benny, it will be hardest for him to see this.

Will do Vickie
Broken homes are hard and GOD doesnt like divorce but it is better for a child to be from a broken home than to live in one ..   Children are so smart and they always find ways to blame themselves for mommie and daddy fighting ...ASK ME , i came from a broken home ..
Sad when families fall apart , my son and wife did the same and it was so hard.
Prayers for all of you

PRAYERS JUST WENT UP FOR ALL OF YOU ....have a blessed day

Praying for them and you.  I empathize with you and them.  I had a bad marriage, but we stayed together till the kids were adults.  We went through marital therapy a lot.

Hugs,
Trish

Vickie,
   I'll be in prayer, too. I am sure it is very stressful for you to know your daughter is in a bad relationship. I will pray until you tell me to stop. Mag

Vickie,
    I wrote a response and hit submit. It disappeared. So a shorter version is "I'm praying.    Mag

Vickie....you can count on me fore prayers...you included!

I am going through the divorce situation with my daughter now....it isn't easy especially for Grace as she doesn't understand why daddy doesn't live here anymore.

Love and hugs....connie d

Thank you all so much!  I'm headed into San Antonio this afternoon to babysit Benny while Chris and John go to their first counseling session. 

I believe in prayer and in counseling, but I also believe the two people involved have to be ready to do the work.  I don't really think either one of them are.  This morning my daughter posted that she is "looking for validation" today.  In her mind, it's all HIS problem.  I try to tell her that while I believe she will get some of that validation she's looking for, she needs to be prepared to have her own faults held up and examined, too.  He's also going to get some "validation" and she's not going to like that one little bit.

I won't go into all the details here.  Lord, if I ever got started, this post would run for 3 pages!  LOL!  My main concern is for Benny.  He's still too little to know what is going on, but that won't last much longer. 

I appreciate the prayers and support more than you can know.  One of my biggest fears is that Chris and Benny will come to live with me, and that's a recipe for disaster.  She and I mix like oil and water most of the time.  My other biggest fear is that my husband and I will have to sue for custody.  Really don't want that to come to pass, but if I have to do that to protect Benny, that's what I'll do.

Love you all!
