VGE,

I was so glad to see that you posted an update. I keep you close in prayer and have been wondering how you are doing.

I can't offer any wisdom except to say that you are so strong and are handling all of this with much more strength than you realize.

My new prayer for you is not only for your health but for God to continue to walk with you and reveal his love for YOU so you will be able to give all your energy and focus on yourself and your life. It is a powerful feeling when you are able the words and actions of others cease to hurt you.

I know it seems counterintuitive and not Christian to quit caring about the father of your children and his family. As you said they were your family for 22 years but if they are that unkind then I believe God wants you to feel strong enough and loved enough by our Lord to quit allowing them to hurt your precious soul. Simply put they are dark people and not worthy of light filled VGE.

You are worthy and amazing and so much stronger than you were last year. God is working through you and showing you that you are far better than these people. Seriously VGE you got this my friend.
