Just got in from the Holy Land Experience. Awesome day! A group from my church went on the bus.

My dau texted me asking if the baby can spend the night tonight. I told her I was out of town and could not. Now yesterday she was talking rude and disrepectful to me. Told her I needed advanced notice. I have a life.

Yes my dau is still in counselling however since she is in denial, she isn't making progress and then with her dad's attitude, that hinders her healing as well.

She has not bathe in 4 days. I think she is depressed but all I can do is continue to pray. I will give her space and not contact her.

Hello GT family!

I am finally able to check it. Been busy trying to preare for going back to school. I start Oct 26th for my Master's.

I gave up on fighting for the 3 months of childs support my ex owes me. I signed consent to end all pending issues. Of course that left him to pay his attorney. I respresented myself.

My dau now lives with my ex since she is 18. Her baby is now able to eat baby food but she is too busy to feed him. I let her counselor and the baby's social worker take care of that.

She starts getting her own money in 2 weeks and does not have any repayment plan in mind after all I ahve spent on her car and auto insurance. She is failing 2 classes in High School. Her dad moves out to his new place on Nov 2nd, then she can be free.

He's still trying to get at me but has less and less ways to do so since our dau is 18.

Congrats Lady LT for going back to work on your Master's. I'm also back in school and brain dead from all the reading these days.

I pray that you finally will have some peace in your life. Although, worry for your daughter and grandson doesn't seem to give you complete rest.

God wants to give you good gifts, we'll pray some more are in store for you in the future.

Blessings -

ladyt,

Do I detect a bit of excitement in your posting? Masters? Mercy! You and Sam are amazing women to "go back" into that realm. I shudder at the thought of my doing that. I'm lucky to remember where I last laid my keys, let alone memorizing and reading my brain out.

I know you will still worry about your daughter and grandbaby. At 18, she is very young to have that responsiblity. I pray that she will make the correct decisions for her's and her baby's lives. I wonder, do you still pay her insurance? My guess is she will suddenly realize how wonderful and smart a mother you are. Isn't that usually the case when children leave the nest? You never know, this may bring the two to you closer. I pray that it does.

As for your ex, I'm glad he is starting to feel that he hasn't any control over you anymore. Even though he may still try. My prayer for you is enjoy your life now. God knows your heart and everything that you have tried to do with Him in mind. He will bless you in ways that will surprise you! I'm not saying there won't be bumps in the road ahead, but maybe they won't be so rough anymore.

Don't forget to let us know how school is going. Good Luck!
