So, There has been a change in my time with the kids. I now get my five year old daughter for school during the week and my son on the weekends only. So, that has freed up my Tuesday mornings at the very least. I am still unable to go to Mass on the weekends since I have my son and his mother doesn’t want him at Mass.

So, I went to confession before Mass and had communion. I feel a little better after having done this today. I will probably go to Mass every Tuesday. It’s not Sunday, but I am trying.

I will probably still go to the Episcopal church with my girlfriend, her son, and my son on Sundays.
 
That’s what I am trying to do, just one day at a time.

Yesterday I found out that my ex-wife is now engaged to be married. I am okay with it, I just wish she would find someone else that can actually take care of her and the kids when I don’t have them. With her MS that is steadily getting worse, she needs someone that can physically care for her and them.

The fiance has ataxia, he has fallen down on her before when she fell. He has balance issues. He physically cannot care for her. However, I guess she feels that he is all she can get because no one else will take her.

I do still worry for her and of course our kids.
 
That all sounds tough, I’m sorry.

Have you thought about posting a request for prayers here on CAF? It’s all we can do but you know prayer is very efficacious.

You know it might sound a bit glib but St Pio used to say “Pray, hope and don’t worry.” Gods will be done.
God bless.
 
Have you spoken to a priest about this? As a Catholic you really need to get to Mass on Sunday. I know taking care of a child is a valid excuse, but this situation, from what you’ve posted, concerns me. Is there any way you can get a sitter for the child so you can get to Mass on Sunday? Are there any Masses on Sunday or Saturday evening you can go to? There’s got to be some options about this.

You are in my prayers. I’m so sorry that your child’s mother doesn’t want him at Mass.
 
I have spoken to a priest and was given dispensation from going to Mass because of my situation.
 
I’m sorry, I didn’t know that, my apologies. I will keep you in my prayers. It really does warm my heart that you made it to confession. Keep fighting the good fight!
