some new updates, and how we all are doing. lots of emotions,feelings.

Hi angel friends, good morning wishes. sending lots of love and our heart-felt thanks from us all. thank you for being here for us, for all of your comforting care, support, and prayers. it means the world to us. i have some new updates to share, including how we all are doing. it was a very tramautic late afternoon, and  evening. our city/state granted on behalf of Kayla, a restraining order against jenn. i heard, while she was being arrested, jenn threatened to damage kayla's car, which is in our driveway. the cop did inspect her car, to make sure she didn't do anything to it, while she was on our property. jenn was released during the evening,and has a court appearance on monday. we heard, jenn was fired from her job. jenn's not allowed to call here, or to come around our home. Kayla spent the night at my niece Alyssa's house, with Alyssa, the kids,and one of her friends. we all double locked our back and front doors here last night. we don't trust jenn and mike, and we know what they are capable of. the whole evening, was surreal, and very disheartening. lots of family reached out to us last evening,and night.


Holly and i gave my mom a lot of support, and eachother,a lot of support. i feel very sad, for my parents. this is their home, and they have done so much for all of us over the years, every penny,nickel,dollar,they have put into making this a home of their own, and for jenn, to bring such violence, and disrespect into their home, and to be so very un-caring, it's extremely upsetting. our emotions,hearts, thoughts,are all over the place, after this  awful incident yesterday. like i wrote in my journal yesterday evening, this has gone on for years, the emotional abuse, even physical abuse, by jenn. we are beyond disappointed in her. her controlling ways, and her getting physically violent, is uncalled for. i talked with Alyssa on the phone, she's afraid of jenn, to be honest, we all are. Alyssa told me on the phone, Jenn threatened to hit Brayden, which is why Alyssa took the kids home as fast she could. Holly and i had come indoors, through our backdoor, when jenn began all of this  in our backyard. Alyssa did talk to Aj about things. it's very sad, it's sickening,that jenn threatened one of the kids, with violence, and it's heart-breaking, that Alyssa,fearing for children, and herself, had to leave, and didn't feel safe here, because of jenn. this has happened, somany times, incidents like this,and jenn taking it to a level of violence, especially yesterday, it's shameful, and we are 100% whole heartedly ashamed of her. our hearts are very sad,for the kids,they were just being normal kids, playing outside,and for jenn's violent emotions to overcome  her, like it did,it sickens us our cores


before Kayla went to Alyssa's yesterday, she was in our living room, she thanked me. i told her, "we're with you". i'm very thankful,i came upstairs, when i did, ,hearing the screaming, and seeing jenn attack kayla, and her having kayla cornered inthe kitchen, with knives within her reach. it's very scary to think what could have happened, if i didn't come upstairs, and see everything. i'm so very thankful yelled,"please stop",. as it seemed to distract jenn, and gave Kayla enough time to be able to run out of the kitchen, and to be able to run outside. when jenn hit kayla, shoving her into the kitchen sink, with all the utensils there, a knife could have stabbed kayla, it would have been even more awful. my other niece Taylynne, she was crying, she said jenn chasing kayla. my mom helped taylynne into the other part of our home. it was just, so very surreal, and how fast all of this was happening. my mom's devastated, we all are. Holly and i gave my mom a lot of support throughout the evening. We're all very upset, about everything that happened. kayla getting hit, and attacked, and me getting hit by jenn for tryin to be the peaceful voice of reason, it was sickening, her actions. i feel very bad, for everyone, and that sadness hit my heart  very hard, and made me feel very bad, that i  couldn't even write about the baking friday,Holly and i had with the kids, it was a really good one, with so much cheer,and jenn's horrible violent actions shortly later, ruined everything. she has messed up so many things in her life, and for what? her rage,and jealousy, and just because Carter and Brayden collided in the trampoline. she has messed up very badly,for really no reason ever,and that's what also makes us feel very sick. jenn has this on her record now, and mike has a past of criminal behavior,and a felony of robbery on his record. 


jenn has a lot of deep emotional issues, and she needs to address every one of them. as a family, we care, but there's just so much we can take, before we need to move forward, without that negative energy in our lives. jenn's been negative energy so much. she gets so jealous lately,of  my mom babysitting Alyssa's kids, she gets jealous of clothes that Kayla and Alyssa wear, it's gotten out of control, the list goes on and on. jenn caused all of this, and has jeopardized so many things,her family, us all. her attitude, and her controlling ways, her violent emotions, she made it all about herself, and she is a very selfish person. she threaten's people, when they go against the grain of her wrongness, no matter what, in her mind,no one else is right, and there's no one, that can talk a sense of reason to her. she should be ashamed of herself for behavior. her emotionally and abusive ways,has caught up to her, and this should be a strong lesson for her, to change. i believe my mom, dad, and us all deserve an apology from her. we are tired of these antics, and feeling like walking on eggshells. this boils over sometimes, especially on friday's, when jenn, alyssa are both here, and holly and i keep the kids focused on baking,  and deep down, we hope that in the moments, jenn doesn'tget violent. it's unhealthy, what she has put  us through, and i'm the type of person, that can tolerate a lot, we all can have a tolerance of things, but jenn has over-excedded our threshold, we just can't put up with it anymore. we all go to her family gatherings, and she, and mike, don't go to all of ours here, or at alyssa's, and that's not family like, but if one of us ever skips one of their gatherings, jenn gets violently mad, and holds a grudge. we had a huge smashed in roof, in 2018, with a big tarpover our home from the  storm that knocked a tree down, on our home, and we all went during that time, to jenn's and mike's wedding. we've showed them, the upmost  respect,and they haven't done the same for us. both jenn, and mike could use some type of mental evaluation, or help, with their anger. it's unhealthy,and toxic.


Going into this new day, we know we have to keep moving forward, the best we can. we all are rattled, our hearts, spirits, our nerves. we have my brother Bobby and family coming over today. Holly and i want to get into our garden, and i need to write too, things that keep us balanced. We feel very appreciative, thankful,and grateful for you all being here for us, our dear angel friends. it  was traumatizing,what we all endured yesterday evening. i do want to share, our pics from baking friday, which was really nice adventure when we had it. i'll share those pics this evening. we're gonna be ok. this morning,my brother Charlie came over, i went out to put treats outside,and Holly and i gave Charlie a yellow  squash from our garden. :) it's peaceful moments like this, that will bring our hearts and spirits back to a peacefulness  and balance we need, and deserve. Thank you again angel friends <3 i will definitely write an evening journal, with pics, and will try hard each day, to help not only myself, but family, in moving forward from this awful stress, jenn has put us through. thank you for your continued prayers, and for being here for us. it's  very comforting, and uplifting. wishing us all, a much peaceful saturday, and continued peacefulness  forward <3 i promise an evening journal with pics, and gonna continue to try my best along with family, to get our balance back <3

Good morning Chris and Holly I hope you both were able to get some rest last night as well as your family. It is great that there is a restraining order against Jenn. I know it will be hard on your family not to see the boys but it is not safe for the rest of your family to be around Jenn and it is time for the family to move on. Jenn needs to learn that there will be consequences to her actions and needs to grow up. I feel so badly for the boys. I know how forward they looked to your baking Friday adventures. Now they will not be allowed at your house unless someone other then Jenn brings them over. It is a shame they are the ones who are going to suffer the most for Jenn's actions.

Do you guys have a plan of action if Jenn should show up at your house? She is not allowed with the restraining order in place but that doesn't mean that she will stay away. You all need to plan on what to do if that happens.

It is so great that you were able to share your garden goodies with Charlie. I am sure that he appreciated the yellow squash from your garden. It is also good that Bobby is coming over today to spend some time with your family. It will help to focus your mind on the good things that are part of a family and not the negative things you experienced yesterday. It is time to forget about yesterday and move on to today. There is nothing you can do to change the events of yesterday so all you can do is tell yourselves that today is a new day and this is a new chapter in your lives and move on.

I hope you all have a great day.
Hugs
John and Debbie

Hi Chris, I sure hope that Jenn gets some help and that she stays away like she is supposed to.
Hopefully having your brother Charlie there today and your brother Bobby and family and doing some normal everyday things will help to calm everyone down and hopefully you have a better day today.
Wishing you, Holly and the whole family a more peaceful day today
Lots of comforting hugs, Jeannie

Hi Sweet Chris, I'm really sorry u all r going through all of this. I wonder why Jenn is attacking Kayla? That's not good that Jenn has threatened to hurt Kayla's new car and I really hope u all will be able to see Jenn's kids because they need u all as much as you all need them. It wouldn't be right of Jenn to not let you see the kids & not let the kids see you all and have their cousins, grandparents and aunts & uncles in their lives. That's good u all r working on this. I wish u all the very best with this. Hugs & love FF
