Frustration
I am seriously frustrated with the situation with Baby D. Like usual, I cannot go into much detail, but I can tell you that I personally don't think the parents are being held accountable enough and it bugs the crap out of me! The good thing is, I have some very Christ like friends (one in particular) who loves me for who I am (even though I never call her back) and she constantly reminds me that I am not in control, the social workers aren't either. God is. I serve the Creator of the universe. He loves me and desires the best for me. That is my mantra and I will repeat it with each breath.

Oh Jessica....
ReplyDeleteI feel so bad for you right now. I am not in your shoes, but I can only imagine the struggle you must be dealing with.
Please know that WE are here for you and your family and that we are praying for you.
I am terribly sorry that you are seeing the ugly side of the situation. Not everybody sees their children as a priority and that is very frustrating when presented to someone who's life is committed to raising their children to believe in FAMILY and RESPECT!
ReplyDeleteI am dealing with the same issues right now except we are losing our little one to one of the mother's relatives even though the parents (one anyway) are not doing a lick of their court ordered services.
Why punish the children...right.
But the TRUTH as you stated is that God is bigger than this situation and will bring you through this. He has Baby D in His sights and knows the number of hairs on his head. He will forever follow him and watch over him.
Can I just tell you that I love you so much and I loved talking to you tonight. you are a breath of fresh air. I'm sorry for you frustration... but I'm starting to wonder if the Lord isn't just knitting our heart even more despite the 8,000 miles between us. I'm proud of the amazing woman that you are.
ReplyDeleteKeep on Keeping on my friend. Imagine what a pro you will be at all this one day. :) Your perseverance is not gone unnoticed. I love you.
That would be so super frustrating, i think.
ReplyDeleteI get thoughts like that where i feel like some people are just so not deserving of stuff, and that's when God whispers so tenderly to me and reminds me of how "not deserving" i am of so many things.
It really smacks me in the face sometimes.
HUGS...keep your eyes upon the Lord.
As a friend of Sk and TK - it sure does seem like the parents are getting favoritism and aren't even being that closely monitored to verify their progress (or lack thereof). Knowing their past, they don't seem to follow thru with much, so hopefully that will eventually work in your favor. God has a plan for this child and for you. He knows the ways of D's parents and hopefully, in time (which is hard, I know)so will the courts. I pray for baby D all the time and for his continued happiness and safety. He is where he needs to be right now, and I pray that is where he will stay.
