A quick update. S14 has decided to move back with W. Everything was going great, and then he spent last Friday and Saturday with his friends including a sleepover. But b/c the friends were close to W's place, he spent some time with his mother. So she talked to him, and he changed his mind.
Now this was a complete reversal. When I talked to him last week, I asked him if he wanted to spend the weekend at W's place, and he strongly told me "no". I know a son's connection with a mother is strong, it is with me, so perhaps it is this and nothing more.
------------- Gerda, thank you so much for your post, and your encouragement. Yes, I continue to read the 'Charlene Cares' daily emails, and I go to a weekly Bible study (on Revelation and Thessalonians, which is hard to do). My prayers are mostly that I cannot deal with my W living with om and s14, and for the Lord to handle this. For the Lord's Will to be worked out in their lives (and mine too).
I am glad to hear of the progress your son is making with you (and your powerful prayers!) Thank you for being a great example for me of being an unshakeable rock standing for your marriage and your family. God bless you.
