Going straight forward...antlers 6th thread.

"Forgiving does not mean forgetting. When we can get to the point that we can wish them peace, we've reached a point of forgiveness. We have set them free, and in doing so, set ourselves free. They no longer have that power over us." - Drew

I saw this wisdom earlier today and wanted to have it on my thread.

It's still hard for me to get my brain around how someone who you know loved you very much, can come to hate you so much. It's equally hard for me to understand how she can try to take my kids away from me. I've got to stand in front of the Judge tomorrow and be arraigned on contempt charges that her attorney filed recently. They are legal tactics intended to make me look bad to the court. I'm in the midst, and have been, of some really awful stuff...and my kids are suffering for it...and she doesn't seem to care.

I am so ready for this..."We have set them free, and in doing so, set ourselves free. They no longer have that power over us."

I feel like I'm in an awful fight for my life, and for my kids lives...and things are not in my favor. It doesn't seem to be enough for her to hurt me like she has...she also wants to use the kids to hurt me further, and take them away from me...and she wants to crush me financially.

Anyway, my son is still with me...his choice. He and I are spending some good time together. I pray that God will allow me to make up for the mistakes that I made with my son in the past.
