Please pray...

Folks, you know I am getting divorced at the end of July...but my step daughter she has a felony against her. She is probably going to jail because she, allegedly, tried to run the father of her child over...her bond is at $30,000.


Aside from that, I have not lived in a certain town in ME for over a year because my soon to be ex and I are separated.

Yesterday someone called my ex's house looking for a "Diane". That's my name. Yes. I did not believe my ex that there was a message from a male, ALLEGEDLY, looking for me on my ex's answering machine...there was...so I got the number from this male person via the answering machine. I called that number and told them not to call there it's driving my soon to be ex out of his mind. They call again. I have no idea who these people are. They sounded like they were 24 or 25 and on dope. Not my crowd...

Tonight I get a weird call ...I don't want to go into detail...
please pray for my step daughter, believe it or not please pray for my soon to be ex, he is/was a jerk but I feel like something very bad is going to happen to him, pray for my children and me please.

I am sorry to hear that your step-daughter has gotten into this kind of situation. That really is tragic!

As for the people who are calling you, if you have a way to get their number (perhaps it would be good to sign up for caller ID), then report it to the police. Let them know that these people are harassing you.

I hope things get better for you soon!

I feel badly for her and believe it or not the soon to be ex... maybe she will get the helps she needs in prison? It's a sad way to get it...

I do wonder if my soon to be ex husband asked those two goons to do that to flip me out...or if it's an odd coincidence...

Well, whatever the case is with the 'goons', it is still best to try to find out who they are so that you can report them for harassment. That is, if they call again. After all, you did tell them not to call back. So if they call again they have no excuse.

Diane, right now, during the interim of the divorce....expect anything sister.

If you feel like your ex put them up to calling, I'd say you're probably right. I can see two potential reasons why 1) It would give him an excuse to call you 2) He could try to claim that you have a boyfriend or that you're into drugs so he would have a better chance of getting custody of the children.....or.....he doesn't want that responsibility but sees it as the last ditch effort to hurt you through them.

I know I sound cynical way beyond my years here, but I've seen the craziness people do during a divorce. NOTHING surprises me any more. And I know from some of your previous posts that your ex hasn't been an upright guy throughout your marriage.

I had an online friend for a long time, and I saw the devastating aftermath of her soon-to-be-ex calling Social Services and telling them that she was neglecting her/their children. They (SS) stormed into her house for an "investigation" and removed the children...claiming she didn't love her children enough because there weren't any pictures of them on the walls (she was moving and all her pictures were packed). That was the best they could come up with on short notice!

That was a TWO-YEAR nightmare for her but she finally won.

I also have a friend whose ex had inmates call her with threats the whole time he was in prison (check forgery). She was home alone with their three children yet he still did that because she was going to divorce him (he forged HER checks no less).

Just be careful sister. People go out of their minds during a divorce. I'm serious.

You don't know those people, you've told your almost ex that, and I would just stay as far away from that situation as possible.

I will keep all three of you in my prayers. It's times like these when you have to keep your eyes on Christ because the people around you are going to be pulling you in different directions.

I'm very proud of you and I've always admired your courage. That "feeling" of something not being quite right is a gift from God. Trust that instinct.
