Glad to find this forum
Thankful to have found this group. Just when I think I'm the only one going through estrangement... encouraging to have Christians who are enduring similar struggles and have learned lessons and are willing to share.
I still don't understand all the abbreviations used here, haha.. but my precious husband and I have had to "get out of God's way" and let my 18 year old daughter go. We cannot enable her or rally around her poor choices anymore. Haven't seen or talked to her in months, and her baby is due any day. As another post-er said, some days are better than others. We feel like she will use the baby to try to manipulate us again. We are bracing ourselves for delaying the grandchild relationship to stand for what is right. Praying for God to protect her and her baby and deal with her directly, so she can be redeemed and useful one day.
Trying to acknowledge the joy God has given me in other parts of my life- my marriage, my other child, my extended family, successful business, etc. So thankful for those things. But miss my daughter so much sometimes I can barely get out of the house.
I don't do social media and have never joined a group like this, but feel this may have some real value.
Thanks for listening.
Hope we can all enjoy today, and let today's troubles be sufficient for itself.
