I am sorry that it's come to this, but sometimes it takes something so dramatic to see the picture clearly. Yes, you should have left months ago perhaps, but months ago you still were trying to keep the boat afloat. But this boat needs to be drydocked a while. Can you tell it's late and I am a walking metaphor? I am thinking of you Muddle, you are a good man, you are a thoughtful caring person and things are going to work out as they should. But you owe it to yourself - and especially your son - to live in a heathly and safe environment. Get a lawyer on the phone and let us know what they say.
Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Is 43:18-19
If it seems slow in coming, wait. It's on its way. It will come right on time. Hab 2:3
