I worry about this each summer, the only time he comes into town. He usually wants one day and night to spend with the kids, and is coming into town the 19th.
He also has a show to play in a city 3 hrs from here, so I know most of his time will be recovering from the 10 hr drive to here, then preparing for that concert… He has a girlfriend.
It all makes me sick with worry but each summer is goes fine and i will be relieved when it is done.
Last summer he did spend a few hours talking only to me one night and we do still love each other, he just does not want to change or cant change his ways…( living like a 15 yr old basically)
sorry to seem so negative.
anyway…
i need prayers.
I am J… He is B
the kids are 7 and 9 yrs old
please pray for my serenity and I need to be placed on many prayer lists if you have time.
my first initial is J
His is B
the girls are looking fwd to it, and want the visit here…
i ask for prayers it goes the way they want,.
we have a pool now at our apt!, so it would be a good place for them to enjoy time with their dad, I would also be more at ease.👍
 
You will definitely be in my prayers J and also B. Our circumstances differ, but I too get that sick feeling when my kids are with their dad. Will especially entrust your children to the fatherly, authentically masculine, holy protector St. Joseph.

Blessings
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of our death.
Amen
 
I thank you all and others who have not posted but read my prayer req. I really feel it is helping me tune in to God’s will.
 
I will keep you and your family in my prayers too. How heart breaking for you. I will pray with Our Dear Blessed Mother and St. Joseph’s most powerful intercession.:signofcross:
 
yes is has been such a heartbreak.
I never knew how sincere I am and how insincere he was.( when we made those vows)
potential is not something to fall in love with. sadly!
i feel stronger today though and am playing good music and singing ,
and envisioning a good visit…
 
I am going to check in each day and let you know how this goes He is not in town yet, and so… he has not called . He will call when he gets here, and it will feel like Out of the Blue. I sometimes get a stomach ache as soon as I hear his voice it makes me so nervous. I have to run straight to the bathroom, even it he only leaves a message!
Pray for me .
Today we are cleaning the apt and having a productive day it will be hot , and we live in an apt with a pool( so lucky) so we will do that later.
I feel lik I am counting the positives more and it very well could be the last time we see him, as one never knows with his condition how he is going to do.
His brain has things in it that could bleed any time.( like an aneurysm that has not happened yet)

Jesus I ask Your grace and peace and love to infuse into these relationships and this situation. Let Your love guide all that happens for this father, this mother, these children. Jesus, please help this man to grow into maturity and wisdom. Let Your Spirit of love fill this family. Thank You, Trishie.
 
checking in, it is friday the 18th. He is supposed to get into the area tomorrow.
Today I got up and did nothing so far, tonight i plan to take the kids to a family dance, country dancing.
I have to keep positive and busy and get out some.
I work at home, and it gets to be a drag sometimes.
I have a dr appt next tues, my first time with a new dr. the previous dr made fun of me because of my tummy being a bit fat, I refuse to see him again. He told me I had a fois grois( spelling) French for fat liver… I had another dr check my liver and it is fine.
That was so rude.
anyway…
I hope i can get a sitter for next week. I know I am rambling on but it helps to have you all praying and to know you care so much for me… I do not have anyone else out of all teh people i know that writes me back when I write, so this prayer request means everything to me. I write people and do not hear back and it hurts me. You must know how much this means to me.
my dad used to write back and my mom is too old to write anymore. my dad died in January.
I think he loved me more than anyone. He and my mom loved me more than anyone.
My mom remembers who I am but she has a short term memory for everything else, so you cant really talk long but it is still my mom.
thank you for showing me God still loves me.
he is supposed ti arrive the 19th.
his "show " 3 hrs away from here is the26th
he said he has to leave this area the 30th.
that is all he told me so far about the plans, so it leaves me not able to make real solid plans as I have to be ready at the drop of a hat to accommodate this visit. pray for us. pray for him, his whole trip, I pray the visit is something I can relax with the trust knowing the kids are safe and it is pleasant and nice for them. and short… please God, let this be good for me and the kids, as B is living with a choice that he made,( to leave us and not help us) please dear Lord, give me the way to cope with this.
 
ok today is the day he is supposed to get into town. yesterday the kids and I grocery shopped, swam then went to the contra dancing1 the kids danced 2 dances with me and then I did one while they watched. they are nice friendly people so we will go back. it is every 2 wks.
live band.
i had a bad sleep though and woke up with a headache.
not sure why.
happens often.
i am trying to keep my mind off the worries.
today the kids will sleep late and I will work on my business,
the cell phone battery died and I do not have the charger, except when we are driving. but it did not charge enough yet.
I guess if he texts me I wont know. if he calls he knows my home phone number.
dear God, keep the kids and me safe and calm and help us through this little visit.
thank you God.
