Please send prayers to protect my children.
My X is on a rampage again, and it's very serious.
I can use all the prayers I can get to protect my girls.

Thanks.

Can you get evidence (video, voice recording, etc.) so that you can lock him up?

It's not what you are thinking. He has made unfounded claims against me.

I have had a bit of experience in that area. I have found that the best way to combat it - not that you're asking, but I thought I'd throw it in - is to be ahead of the person making the claims. In my case I went to the people to whom I knew this person would be making accusations against me, and I told them that I was having a disagreement with XYZ, and have found that he is accusing us of things. So I wanted to let them know what the truth is, before they hear his side. Then I say, I'm sure you'll be able to tell the truth, that's why I made sure you'd have both sides of the story.

Kind of like when a blackmailer threatens to disclose stuff, and the victim simply goes public, which makes whatever the blackmailer has null and void.

btw, already sent my prayers.

Please keep up prayers for my girls. This situation is not easily or quickly resolved.

GG, someone mentioned how beautiful the daffodils look. Do you recall them? We calculated they must have taken 50 hours to plant?

Prayer for Times of Fear



Almighty God, the Refuge of all that are distressed, grant unto us that, in all trouble of this our mortal life, we may flee to the knowledge of Thy lovingkindness and tender mercy; that so, sheltering ourselves therein, the storms of life may pass over us, and not shake the peace of God that is within us. Whatsoever this life may bring us, grant that it may never take from us the full faith that Thou art our Father. Grant us Thy light, that we may have life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

How's it going, Newly? Is it getting any better? How are the girls holding up?

(And yes! I remember the daffodils)

I'm thinking of you.

PS: You have mail.

Oh, I forgot about your suggestion about M's friends.

I haven't met any of them. There mostly work friends, and M is pretty introverted. He needs lots of alone time.

This makes it pretty interesting since we both have very, very tight families. Mine live within 45 minutes of each other and most work in the family business. His live within 30 minutes of each other, except him. One sister and brother live within 5 minutes of their mother. Sooo... family obligations take up most of M's social tolerance outside of work.

M does have a brother, but he's the only person in the family that's too short for you. Besides, not your type.

I must rack my brain for other possiblities. You may want to consider a lawyer. Think of all the money you could save on legal fees!

I've thought about a lawyer, perhaps that's the reason for this.
