Hmmmmm....
So, I think I finally heard the problem from Your point of view again. Like I said to a friend on the phone this morning, I feel like the PosterChild for forgiveness and longsuffering, below You and a number of other Saintly ones who have peopled the Earth at different points in history, that is.
It's the divorce PERSONALITY that gets passed on into the survivor children of divorce that I have been battling for my entire adult life and marriage. I didn't HAVE TO. I chose this road, or You chose it for me, whichever the case may be, I'm on it. I was raised in intact family... generations and generations of intact Christian family. NOT perfect people, just Your people who upheld the sanctity of family and children.... THEN... I married into the utter opposite for an up close and personal look at one Bible verse.... this one:
How will we ever overcome this mess ? We only overcome ANY mess by Your grace and mercy manifest. We SO NEED a royal dose of the healing from the bitter-hearted aftermath of the hard heart of divorce and the ME GENERATION's fallout.
Lord help us.
As H., seems to have finally learned the value in moving on past anger and into forgiveness... he has become loveable again. It looks like You have finally manifest the deliverance in his Spirit, through Your's, to an greater understanding of LEARNING to sustain connections and unity through forgiveness. ALLLLLELUIA !
CPrincess, she is far from that.... and in the very midst of yet another chapter of the custody, wrestling, struggling embittered battle as were her parents before her. My grandson is being destroyed, just like the people who raised his Mother were and did. ooooooooooy ! I pray that You intervene. I am too exhausted to care to be involved. She has ousted me anyway, by transferance, no doubt. As the stepMom of her son has taken a strong role in this battle, I am being viewed as another stepMom in the picture... at least that's what I perceive. She turns to the familiarity of the role modeling of her own Mother... 'nuff said there. You know of it all. Only YOU can be of any use in all this. She has taken to playing keep away with our WeePup more and more over recent years, as she wrestles to turn us all into what she wants us to be.... instead of implementing ACCEPTANCE WITH JOY for the differences in us all. As, I too wrestle, with the discouragements of watching another casualty in the making and try to keep my hands off as I accept her for who she was created to be. He ages... the window closes on our hope to be of greater influence, and so the cycle continues.... on and on and on. The bitterness in CPrincess' tongue, in her Mother's... these are the examples that are shaping our grandson's spirit. God bless him. WeePup is so overrun by it all.
This crap never seems to end the tentacles it shares through time. Maybe one day there will be an event to shake up the world of those who vy for ownership of him, while they destroy his heart NOW by the hour. Can't do anything without Your intervention. I just open my hands to Heaven and say, " Into THY hands I commend our spirits, Jesus."
Father forgive them, they know not what they do. Selfish, unfinished children raising babies.... everywhere you look. Breaks my heart. Must crush Your's, Jesus.
The difference between intact families and broken ones is two words, UNITY vs HARDHEARTED !
There's a misperception that divorce will leave the problems behind,
while the divorcee takes their hard heart with them...
Have mercy, Jesus.

Matthew 19:6-8
Amplified Bible (AMP)
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder (separate).
7 They said to Him, Why then did Moses command [us] to give a certificate of divorce and thus to dismiss and repudiate a wife?
8 He said to them, Because of the hardness (stubbornness and perversity) of your hearts Moses permitted you to dismiss and repudiate and divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been so [ordained].
Well, trust me, Jesus... I now KNOW the Truth of it in a new up close and personal way. The part :Amplified Bible (AMP)
6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder (separate).
7 They said to Him, Why then did Moses command [us] to give a certificate of divorce and thus to dismiss and repudiate a wife?
8 He said to them, Because of the hardness (stubbornness and perversity) of your hearts Moses permitted you to dismiss and repudiate and divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been so [ordained].
Because of the hardness (stubbornness and perversity) of your hearts
This is the part that I have found so foreign for all these years. Stepchildren raised in the war of divorce CATCH the hardness of heart from embittered parents... and ALLLLL that comes with it. It's an epidemic in this Nation. There are so many many adults now, young adults in their 30s who are wandering the world with this heart.... bouncing off of each other like pingPong balls, unable to connect or forgive or forget or move on from anger that just compounds by the day.How will we ever overcome this mess ? We only overcome ANY mess by Your grace and mercy manifest. We SO NEED a royal dose of the healing from the bitter-hearted aftermath of the hard heart of divorce and the ME GENERATION's fallout.
Lord help us.
