Knowing that God will take care of that guy in His own way makes me smile! I certainly am aware that we don't always get to "see" the consequences someone faces for their transgressions, but we do KNOW there are consequences. Except for this knowledge there have been a few times in my life that you may have been defending me for some revenge I carried out! <br /><br />I pray for that poor woman as she deals with a seemingly impossible situation and I pray for you in having to deal with this unfortunate situation. I guess I even pray for the creep....he probably needs it the most! Maybe something will happen that will open his eyes to the unbelievable pain he has caused.KathySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15453964623882365876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-3883196532403513222010-05-16T11:44:32.671-05:002010-05-16T11:44:32.671-05:00As you know, I just started following you and when...As you know, I just started following you and when I saw this post, and skimmed through it, I knew I wanted to wait to read it when there was time to take in all the events. <br />My husband and I have no children, and recently went through "the classes" to become foster (to adopt) parents. However, after our approval, we decided against it. It was because of me. I just didn't feel that I would be able to handle the issues like the ones these children have, and sadly (!!) so many in the age group we are approved for do. But I admire the perseverance of "SS" to try and work through the issues for as long as she did. It is a testiment to her character and strength. I also admire her for knowing what her limits were before anything happened to her or the youngest child in the family. It's unfortunate that the same can NOT be said for "BB." I do hope that "SS" has been able to have hope and find peace in her life!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-80575312518020835192010-05-15T09:29:10.962-05:002010-05-15T09:29:10.962-05:00Any way you slice it it is just sad and sickening....Any way you slice it it is just sad and sickening.

As awful as the story is, I'm glad that she allowed you to share it with us. The prayers of the saints are going up to the Father for her and those children.<br /><br />My husband taught me a powerful lesson over 20 years ago. He had been badly mistreated by an employer and then was fired. I would rail and curse them. He said "Just leave them to the Lord. Let Him handle revenge." That multi-million dollar company went bankrupt and the building sat empty about 5 years later.<br /><br />Help her to do what she can in court - I do hope she's not still sympathetic for him. And I pray that you get a judge who is tough on him. Ultimately, the real punishment for disloyal husbands - and wives (in our family's situation)- will be handled by the Lord.carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04346285464750146290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-48617574107148674752010-05-13T19:25:32.845-05:002010-05-13T19:25:32.845-05:00I don't even know what to say. heartbreaking ...I don't even know what to say. heartbreaking doesn't even cover it.

We have all sorts of plans, ideas, hopes, dreams, etc. We never know what is going to come our way. It just reminds me that the only 'thing' we can count on is God. He has promised to never leave or forsake us, and we can draw our strength and hope from Him.

This makes me angry in new and creative ways. I have to give that to the Lord and ask him to help HER and those children. But if her life was in danger and the life of her little one, what else could she do? <br /><br />I don't take it lightly because I was in foster care myself as was my sister and, to some degree, my brother. (His was with relatives.) And I honestly think foster care saved my life. Never underestimate the time those children were in their home, if they were truly loved and cared for there. It may be the only normalcy they have or will know as children. But it may come back to serve them as adults. The judge was wicked to her, in my opinion. There may be someone MUCH better equipped to meet their needs. But for awhile, they were loved and love does not return void.<br /><br />As for the husband, he will NEVER build happiness on someone else's unhappiness. It is contrary to all of God's laws. This WILL come back to bite him. It ALWAYS does.<br /><br />What a riveting story and I wish it were fiction.Robynn's Ravingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619286823020924023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-82159023871617723782010-05-12T20:08:06.319-05:002010-05-12T20:08:06.319-05:00You are so right in the fact that when one spouse ...You are so right in the fact that when one spouse leaves it's to the arms of another. My heart bleeds for this family. I too have seen kids in foster homes who have been sent back because the family can't handle the baggage that comes with them. And in all honesty, I'm not sure if I could handle it either. The threats, the abuse, the issues that even with years of counseling might never go away. In part (or at least here) it's due to an over worked system where the families need more support than they can get. My thoughts and prayers will be with them.mamahasspokenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049292242708654609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-29593365865791042162010-05-12T15:10:38.004-05:002010-05-12T15:10:38.004-05:00Horrendous.
