,

Being a bit preoccupied myself at the moment I did not intend to get

too involved in this Group for a while, but I just read your message

and I just had to reply. My heart goes out to you. It is clear that

you are suffering greatly and the pain behind the words is evident. I

can only say that we all suffer many trials and tribulations in this

journey through life and it is not easy at all. When you are in the

blackness, it seems that pretty much everywhere you look there is

nothing but more blackness, going on and on in every direction and

extending on into some unknowable future. my friend, please

hold on to the light as best you can. The fact that you are here in

this group is testament to the fact that you have not given up and

that you will find your way out of this. It is especially difficult

when you have your kids taken away from you. This is almost the most

unbearable thing that society can do to someone, but there is STILL

light at the end. The faster that you can centre and find some peace,

the sooner will you reach that light. I know from my own personal

circumstances at the moment how difficult this can be. We find a

moment of mental freedom and we try to build on it and increase our

feeling of hope even just a little bit and then all of the troubles

come tumbling in again. My advice is to look for the lesson in it

all. There is one somewhere. When you find this, there is hope of

change. Look for the opportunity for further growth. When you find

this, there is hope that all can be well with the world again and

your place in it.

Please feel free to contact me directly. If you feel that you just

need to chat or sound off about something, then I am more than happy

to just listen and offer what I can.

Don't give up ! Things WILL get better..

Much love and a great big hug to someone whom I feel is in need of it

right now.

Blessings,

Steve

Hello , You are in my thoughts, and I will send some healing energy your way, if not just for a recharge. You feel to me like you could definitely use one. I've read everyone else's replies so far. They have such wonderful advice and showed deep compassion. I just wanted to tell you that each time you can have a peaceful thought, or even just to allow yourself a fleeting smile is another battle won on your part. Indulge in those treasures each time you recognize it happening. The more battles you win, the more you will retrain your mentality to balance back to the positive. Please write, draw, go to the gym, or do something to get out your feelings. Don't let them build and lodge. Get them out of you in some safe way. Once you're ready to forgive yourself, you will. And then you'll be on your way to healing and moving on. Don't push your natural process, it will all happen when you're ready for it. Until then walk with your head held high in defiance against the darkness seeming to overwhelm all areas of your life. KNOW that you are strong enough to handle anything thrown at you, and speak like you always know what's right even if you're unsure. Much love to you .

Steve,

Thank you for your reply, it means a lot. I have looked at the blessing behind this. I am able to see and accept my own shortcomings that caused the change in custody. It's been 3 1/2 years. Now, I am trying to re-build my reltaionship with my children and their dad is blocking it. I don't know what he is saying, but I do know from being married to him sometimes it's not a word that is spoken, it's a look or a "promise" of something. It is difficult NOT to think of him as an evil presence. He is very manipulative and kaniving. He exaggerated most things and now acts like he's the best parent in the world. I'm not saying he's a bad parent, but I do know that he is not fostering a reltaionship with my children and me; especially my daughter. To hear her say "sorry I just don't want to talk to you today" is hard. I understand that sometimes children don't

want to talk on the phone however this has been her response for several weeks now and she sounds depressed when she says it (almost as if she has no choice but to say that). It hurts a great deal and I know that I do have a part in her feelings due to the events that did happen. I made a bad choice (their step father-whom I am no longer with). He is/was abusive. I stayed even after my children left because I felt I deserved being treated that way because I didn't protect my children. But then I realized that I didn't deserve to be treated that way-no one does! So, I left and have been building my life in a positive way since. I also understand that everyone has good and bad days. Every week when I go through this dance of putting my children on the phone and my daughter doesn't want to talk to me the hurt starts over again. I believe in my heart she wants to talk to me but

something has been said to her. I am not the same person I was then and want to have an opportunity to see and talk to my children without being monitored by their father. This is a glimpse of the things going on that are overwhelming. Thanks

Blessings! ~A~

Hello ,

First of all, I want to apologize for being absent and for not responding to your post .I have to say that I can imagine what you are facing on daily basis because I myself had a similar story myself with my ex husband. I still can remember the long days and even longer nights trying to figure out how to cope with my ex husband's blackmail. I send you a big hug, my sister,i will be praying for you with all my heart, because once i felt what you are feeling and I know ,it is not a good place to be. I can tell you that , believe me or not, this will come to pass, and I promise you, together we will go through this, you are never alone.You will get through this with radiant colors, I guarantee you.Everything passes, have faith and keep your shin up. We are here for you unconditionally.

I send you many blessings, form my heart to yours.

Liane

Sheila,

My name is Debbie, please excuse my bad manors....Welcome . I'm new as well. I to am on a journey to find truth and inner peace. As most know (and for those who do not) my spelling is horrable so sorry if words are mis~spelled, mis~used or even mis~placed. I too posted replies and just figured I'm a pain in the butt, but hope they love me anyway. It's nice to meet you and I hope we can be friends. Have a blessed and safe weekend all.

Blessings,

Debbie H.
