Thanks for this prayer thread. I can't tell you what a long haul it has been being a single mom who was voted "most successful" from her high school class (ha, what did they know??) because I was popular and an attorney. Who hoo. Got saved(or awakened from my precious underlying Catholic faith to REAL Roman Catholic reality faith) and then betrayed enormously by my childhood "sweetheart" of an 18 year marriage (but a freaking 30 year relationship!!! Since 8th grade, for Pete's sake!!!) who tried to defame and do scorched earth family law nonsense on me and our 3 kids. Like very little support though he's pretty wealthy (thanks to the money we BOTH earned.) He resented that I stayed home with the kids is the truth. And he wanted to cheat with cute blondes. Asshole. It's been a huge financial hellhole for the last 15 years as I have singlehandedly put my kids through private grade school, private high school and private colleges. One is now a nurse, one going off to PA school in a week or so and one is in dentistry. I cry for the great experiences we should have all shared as a family at the private lake I can no longer attend ( the dad won't let the almost adult kids go up alone, either!) or the yacht club he used as a babe magnet rather than teaching our kids to sail. Bottom line is, I married a grade school player who never grew up, used me for my lawyer money. Too bad for him I took the wiser, harder route: I chose diapers and formula over kindercare. Boo hoo. Anyway, I am obviously not a good picker of men. I really feel kind of sad I missed the people or persons I was supposed to know and love. Oh, well, God is way beyond me. I do trust him. Thanks for listening!
