Since I don't have a thread, I started one just to tell you all to have a very happy Easter. May God bless and keep you all as well as your families. Let's hope for a great and mighty harvest of souls. Praying that many prodigals find their way home on this Holy weekend.
Everything happens for a reason, maybe Dad needs to find that it isn't better out there, he needs to realize how good he had it here. Maybe he will find God and that is the most important thing when he finds Him he will know he is supposed to come home.

May the day be full of blessings and may spring bring you and all of the posters new beginnings!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
I am so bummed out. I thought I set my alarm last night but I woke up this morning at the exact time that church starts. I am really disappointed at missing the Easter service.
I went to a benefit for one of our friends and neighbors. I saw some old friends and sat with them. The lady I rode with is friends with OW's mother(the price for living in a small town). In the course of conversation, she mentioned that OW is in counseling. I have prayed for a week or more for a sign that all is not wonderful for H and OW. Guess I got it.
Hope all of you are having a wonderful day. I am doing very well except for missing the REAL H and being a little lonely. I need to reach out to others more and stop hiding from people.

ANM - You are sounding so strong and upbeat today. Take it to the next level. Go out and meet more people. Find some groups that have interests like yours.

Thank you Mishka. I have signed up for Prayer team and Family Care team at church that should help me out some.
Well, I lost it with H tonight. I have to admit it is the first time in a very long time and maybe it was time.
H had asked the boys to go to OW's house for dessert. First he had asked them for dinner but S18 told him no that I was cooking dinner for them. S18 told his dad he would think about dessert. Well, S18 decided that he wanted to stay at home with me because we celebrate Easter as Christians and his dad doesn't and has never celebrated. S21 stopped on his way back to school because he thought BIL and nephew were going to be there. H called S18 and yelled at him and wanted to know why he didn't come over. S18 told him and he yelled at him some more and told him that he just uses H and that he doesn't ever call him or make any effort to see him. Then he told him never to call him or ask him for anything again. He said a lot more but I can't remember all of it. It was all hurtful and blaming S18 like he was the adult and H is the teenager.
S18 was crying and I tried to soothe him but I just didn't know what to say. I couldn't believe H was acting that way. I called him to talk to him and of course, I didn't get one sentence out before he hung up on me. Then a few minutes later he called S18's cell and I answered. I am afraid that the mother in me took over and I really told him why S18 doesn't want to spend time with him. I wasn't pretty but it kept him from lashing out at S18 anymore. Of course, he is still blaming me for the problems between he and S18.
Unfortunately (Mrs. H listen to this) I let him bait me into an argument. He made some comment about it being my fault that he and S18 aren't spending time together. He said something about poor poor me (talking about me). I told him there was no poor me. I am doing fine, I said that I didn't need nor want him in my life with the selfishness and dishonesty the he displays now, I told him I have the Lord in my life and so did S18 and we were doing fine. I told him that we were both praying for him. Of course I got the snide comments. I don't care what he says, I am not going to keep my faith under a basket because he doesn't want to hear about it.
I know that the Lord is working in him. H is always angry when he is struggling with things. I am just really tired of being his scapegoat. I have written an email but I don't think I will send it.
I would really like to put a stop to this madness but I don't think anything I say will help.
Thanks for listening. We really did have a good Easter even though it didn't end very well.
I spent a lot of time today reading the bible and sharing it with S21.
