Now my daughter is not sure if she is moving back home.
I am battling feeling really angry with my ex 'cause it appears that he totally messed me over, frustrated that she has been given the decision to make on her own, and just really, really sad that we may be facing another year without her. In her teenage-I-don't-really-get-it way, she assures me that no matter what, she will be home in August for a visit. I felt like throwing the phone at the wall and screaming "THAT IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!". BUT...the more I push, the less it will be appealing, SO, even though I want to know NOW so I can "deal" with my emotions, I just need to be in prayer for God's peace. I am thankful how this how situation has driven me to just trust in His promises, even when I do not like the circumstances. I am telling you so that you can join me in prayer if God brings it to mind.
I need a really good chick flick and my husband to just sit with me later and endure it. I will try to stay away from chocolate.

I can't imagine how difficult this must be for you. Having teenagers is hard enough, and then when you throw in a jerk ex who doesn't mind hurting you... wow. ;(
That exact thing happened to me when I was a kid. There was structure and stability (and GOD) at my Mom's house, but my Dad let me do whatever I wanted because he didn't give a rip. So, given the option, guess what I chose even though, I KNEW the better option?
Rest assured, she LOVES her Mama. And I'm coming alongside you in prayer for your precious girl, Jane. I'm so, so sorry that your heart is being trampled like this. Just remember, God is way bigger than this situation, and He is using even this for your good, dear one. Please message me if you have something more specific to pray for, because I promise you, I am.
Oh, and for what it's worth. My relationship with my Mama now is far beyond priceless, and my Dad and I hardly speak.
Hugs Jane! Life can be so hard sometimes. Words can seem trite. You are in my prayers.
see, now if I read my google reader/blogs more I'd....well, never mind. Man Jane. I will pray and I expect some big movin' going on that are obvious signs of the Lord!
clearly I'm late to finally be reading this. argh! I'm so sorry about all this angst. Hope it's settled by now and that you are at peace with however it all turned out.
love ya, sis!
I'm late reading this, too. And praying for you and your daughter and family. God bless. He holds all things together.
