Uncertainty

I wonder if, when I complete this blog, I will push "publish"...I may or may not, but I am needing to write about it tonight, and so I am....
As in all families, we are given good times and some pretty dreadful times, and we understand that.  To say "That's life" is an oversimplification, but it's true.

At this time, our family seems to be on overload for the bad times....That is why I am writing about it. And that is why it may be erased and not published.
Tomorrow morning, John goes to court. He is scared. His mom is scared....I try to call on my faith that right will prevail. I am trying...but I, too, am scared......John may go to jail.

He has had an altercation with his father....months ago it took place. ...And now, it seems to me, his father wants his pound of flesh. Today it will be decided.  It makes me sick.
I was so mad at Larry yesterday that I posted an angry message on his Facebook page....but I deleted it.

YEARS ago, I wrote a letter of concern to Larry... I said that I observed behaviors in John that could cause problems in his life.... I begged him to unite with Mary Beth and address them. .....The letter was never acknowledged.....I knew nothing about Asperger's at that time. Few did.....but I was right..... And I was ignored.....Not only that, but when medical help was sought, and medications were prescribed, they were denied him by the part of the family that believed it only a discipline problem...

So John never was able to communicate with his father...no bond was established...and today is the day of reckoning when we will see John stand before the judge, his dad as his adversary.


Another sad, desperate situation.:
Grandchildren have allegedly been molested by the husband of their principal caregiver.
The caregiver is defending the molester.....he lives next door, and although forbidden contact with the children, the courts are allowing this living situation.

All contact between the children and the outside world has ceased. And those who love them are frantic and heartbroken.

There is no logical explanation for this decision....but there it is.

So this is a sad time, a frightening time for my family.  All I can cling to is my faith that, in the end, right will prevail.

Please, dear God, dear Jesus, place Yourself in the midst of these horrible situations.!
Calm our hearts, our fears, and let our FAITH get us through this!
