Most definitely I agree this is a sad situation. My only thought is that there are two other ways to remain close to your sister and brother: through prayer (as Christians we believe that there really is a connection to other souls through prayer) and by using written or electronic communications (perhaps they could have taken snapshots or digital pictures?) I know it's not like being there, but at least if both you and your sister/brother make those efforts to stay in touch it proves that you care for each other more because you're willing to overcome physical separation.

This may not have helped but I thought it was worth a try.

May God bless you and your family.

You know there is something you should know. I understand anger very well. I dealt with this for a long time with my ex-husband, my family alone and with myself. I was talking to my friend because she was talking about anger too. I read this verse and this helps me all the time. Psalms 30:5 "For his anger is but for a moment, his favor is for a life; Weeping may endure for a night but Joy comes in the morning" This verse helped me so much I hope this helps you. I will pray for you.

God Bless,
Donna

Wouldn't it be nice if all parents, through divorce, could realize how it does affect the children... Some divorced parents remain very bitter from it and this does affect the children who want so much to belong to the whole family. It is sad when this happens - very sad... Good news is that you, Snowy, through prayer for the right and gentle words to say to the parents can make the difference in the outcome. Praying for all involved in the situation is the best place to start, including your dads ex-wife. If you really want it to happen, it starts with prayer. It starts with forgiveness with your anger (I know-easily said but hard to do). Pray for her in that GOD will touch her in the way that is pleasing to all involved and most pleasing to HIM. Believe that HE will do it in HIS Mighty Power of Truth. You never know, Snowy, you might be the vessel to ease the bitterness away. I will pray for you and your family and most definately for your father and his ex-wife.

God be with you in all that you do today and always.

I'm really sorry you have to go through this. You know, Satan wants you to get angry and let this eat at you, if you give in, he wins. You cannot let him win! He uses these little things to hopefully get us out of fellowship with Christ, because we will say"God, why did you let this happen?" These are tests that we all must overcome. The best way to love someone whether you can be there for them or not is to pray for them! God bless you!
