Mx8 - Wanted you to know that I read your post and have prayed for you just now. I hope you have a good support system around you there - both family and non-family who can stand by you during this. Try to not get too stressed; as parents we can only do the best we know how and ultimately God has given our kids to us for a short time anyway. Unfortunately part of this is probably due to your H's behavior (which isn't helping, I know) but that's out of your control too. You're in my thoughts and prayers!

Oh, and btw, it's not a "family vacation" if you and the kids aren't with him! Don't forget that! Otherwise, he's just mooching a trip to the beach with his parents like a little kid <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Momma,

Just wondering how you and the kids are today? Did your son get out of the juvenile hall? Are you ok with him defending his sister.

You really helped me on my recent thread about my kids, and I just want you to know there is someone here thinking about you.

I will pray for you also.

Momma---you have so much to deal with and yes, life is so unfair. STBX is vacationing and living it up while you suffer and work trying to keep your family sane.

Do you have people to help you? Do you belong to a church?

Try to do whatever you can to respond to this crisis and not react negatively. Alot of teenagers have struggles and don't let this seem bigger than it really is. Teenager do this kind of stuff and I always felt like they are aliens from another planet. One day they are young and innocent and loving then they just go berserk and you don't even know this child when they become a teenager.

I will pray for your kids to learn from their mistakes and grow and mature......They will, given time.
