I am okay - physically. We split up due to domestic abuse on May 13th. It is just spiralling out of control here.
June 25th: lost my job. June 27th: son went to foster care. (long story there, no i am not unfit - but there is BIG time parental alienation going on!) June 29th: served with divorce papers and picked my son up from foster care.
I am just desperate to get some support - I HAVE the order for protection - which put my boundary out there and I feel has caused my husband to be VERY agressive and I have all kinds of problems now. He has hired a $10,000 attorney to take my son from me and to obtain a property settlement that benefits him, he has spent our money from the remodel almost which is $38,000 dollars, I am basically penniless and have NO family or support.....
I am DESPERATELY seeking prayer - I need prayer, Please Please Please help me.
1) CPS worker will come today - in just a couple of hours and I am anxious, I know that the Lord can use this for His good, but I feel like I need someone in agreement with me so that the child protection worker finds favor. I have so many concerns about the house - because it may not be deemed adequate and I don't want to have to move, (because i lost my job and can't afford to move and I would be losing a lot of money in a property settlement if I would have to move).
Please can we please get some of you to agree in prayer with me? I don't have any family to pray with me and I feel very much alone. I know the Lord is here, but I think I need more support than just my faith - it is seriously challenged right now.
Thanks TNT

I’ll do what I can. I know God will ultimately make it turn for good. And I’m hoping that the good comes NOW.
On a more practical level, I’m in southeast PA. If you’re near by, send me an email, and I’ll give whatever help I can.

I'm praying for you too.
Heavenly Father I pray that you protect trustntruth and her son. I pray that her home is found to be adequate for her son to be with her. I pray that you give her her heart's desire. Protect this family as they continue to face trials. Help trustntruth to draw closer to You as her trial continues. She trusts You and knows that all things work for the good of the believer. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

Sweetie,
I just prayed for you over on WBS too... the more prayers the better, eh?
Lord, HEAR OUR PRAYERS for TnT. You have listened to me pray already, and I know that a multitude of voices can only make the request louder and more urgent.
Give TnT peace, Lord, as she goes through this terrible thing. Heal her physically and emotionally... keep her safe... keep her son safe...
And Lord, do with her H what needs to be done for healing and growth. Bind his hands so they will not harm her EVER AGAIN.
IJN, Amen.

Dear TnT, I will pray that the CPS worker will find favor and to see what a good parent you are. I pray that you will receive help and support, and that God will lift you up and you will feel his peace. Please continue to post, and to let us know how you're doing. KK

I am praying for you too...and to offer some encouragement...here's my story.
Was sahm. Have son too. X makes about six times my salary and has lots of cash monies to toss about. After his abuse, I left and packed up my son and we moved home to be with my sister and bro in law.
Had to go back to GA to fight divorce battle as it was over 6 mos. I had been away from TN. X threw us out of our family home and I lived for over a month in an extended stay hotel. I had no job as I hadn't needed one in years. No money either. Lived on credit cards for that month. And then got a job and fought, fought, fought.
My x used same card. That he had more money and could push me around. In the end, he ended up paying me but not what he should as his high priced legal eagle pushed me into a corner when I was almost peniless. And yea, during the many court appearances last year, I lost my job also. He also threatened me and got a bit more custody than I'd liked him to have, but I am still primarily with a bit more.
Get out the mop, dustpan, and put some [censored] and span into that home and make it shine. Nice touches like flowers on the table and good food in the fridge is good. Make sure his bathroom and bedroom is clean and that he has clean clothes in closet and in drawers. I hired myself a social worker to come in and document everything in case the county worker had something at all negative to say (she did not).
You will make it. Stay strong in love and put the child first. Pray and know we're here.

TNT....Loads and loads of prayers coming from me and my family! I posted about you on my family's web site and they are a bunch of prayer warriors!
Keep yourself safe and your son, also. Don't let this man bully you anymore. Do WHATEVER IT TAKES to see that he doesn't hurt you two anymore!!
Love, Mitzi <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
