Ok, that's it! I can't stand it anymore! I just have to vent, you guys, or explode!
It doesn't matter how old your children get, or even how big they are, they will always be your baby. And when your child calls you crying because they think that they don't deserve to be loved because their significant other is a psycho who does everything she can to make your child's life miserable, screams and yell at them, belittles them and treat them like crap, it just rips your heart out. I want to just grab ahold of that person and slap all kinds of sense into them. Oh, and by the way, this person claims to be a Christian, yet they will use profanity that you wouldn't believe and say things to their spouse that I wouldn't say to my worst enemy, in front of their child. And recently she has become physical abusive as well! It's incredible. Honestly, the only thing that stops me from going over there and showing that person what they deserve is that my child asks me not to because whenever someone else tries to step in & help it makes it worse. Also, I really don't want to get arrested. But that person's day is going to come. I've been praying about this for a long time and God will take care of it. I just don't know how much more I can take. I've already started thinking things like, "jail might not be that bad" I'm afraid that I would probably do something very bad if she hurt him.
Lord, please intervene in this situation. Show him that You love him and that You will take care of him and that he doesn't need to worry for You are in control. Nothing can happen to him that isn't filtered through fingers of love. I trust You, Father, to look after my child when I cannot & to protect him from the evil that is permeating his life & the lives of his children. I know I can trust You, Lord, to do this because You have demonstrated Your faithfulness to me over & over without fail for You always keep Your Word. My strength indeed is small, but Yours is sufficient for today & I stand upon that promise in my time of need. In Jesus name, Amen!
When you have a child, even if you haven't given birth to that child, but you are responsible for the daily care of them. When you focus on trying to raise them to be healthy, strong, productive members of society, good providers, responsible partners in marriage and pour yourself into them, it is so difficult to see them have to suffer at all. We often can see where it is necessary in order for them to mature and become the people that God intended them to be but all too often we don't know what possible good can come out of the situation but as Romans 8:28 & 29 says, He will work it all out for me when I trust Him and live my life accordingly. Tough to do, but so necessary. The alternatives are just not acceptable. I strive toward the prize which is becoming more like Him everyday. But if He is for us who can be against us?? I cling to that hope!
Thank you for the message his morning, Phil! It was just what my heart needed to hear today.
Those of you who are mothers I'm sure can identify with what I'm saying. Please pray for my child! I love you guys a lot!

I am so sorry! I'd be pondering jail time as well. But you're right that God handles His business and He'll take care of His own. Hang in there, I love you!
