I am not hugely religious. I don't quote the Bible, I don't go to church. I do believe in God, I do pray. I want you to know that off the bat. It's not an invitation for discussion, just letting you know where I stand.
I do believe that God directs us, but he doesn't steer the car for us, you know? He is whispering in our ear telling us where to go, but he is letting us drive.
Of course it hurts.
And I understand EVERYTHING you have posted, from before up until now. Everything.
Protect your children, you're doing good.
It will seems like all your fears will continue to come true.
Are you living in fear of that?
When your wife brings his name up, you can politely tell her "I really don't want to talk about him." Politely, if she keeps it up you can politely hang up on her.
I don't know what to tell you Patrick, except weather this storm as best as you can. She is watching your reactions, it seems like she is pushing your buttons.
How do you react?
How do you live?
Quote:
Invictus by William Ernest Henley OUT of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
My your head be unbowed.
Stand tall.
