When it rains it pours... update

It's been another long day for me... My daughter was crying today telling me she hates herself, her life, thinks she is better off dead and wants to kill herself... I called her counslor right away and they had me bring her for an evaluation... They admitted her! Right before I left to take her hubby decided he was going to leave me! He told me, me and the kids are too much trouble for him... I tried to call him a couple of times no answer...  (He is step dad) At this point when I feel like I need his most, my focus will remain on my kids... He has his own issues to work out... I just wanted to update you all please keep the prayers coming! If I'm not around for a bit, it's because I have a lot to stay focused on... I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers as well... Blessings Jenn

Oh Jenn - Keep the faith babe.. I'm so sorry you are going thru all this.  If you need to talk, please don't hesitate to call me.  My heart is breaking for you.    I wish I could do more then send prayers your way and lend a shoulder to lean on. Your daughter is in good hands and she is safe.  That is were she needs to be for now. It sounds like your hubby  is frustrated just like you but maybe he does not know how to deal with the situation.  I know you have a lot on your plate and kids at home but maybe you two can get away for a nite or two and reconnect.  Can your mom watch the kids?  Hugs to you my friend.  Christina

(((((HUGS))))) Jen, What a terrible day! But your daughter is safe and that's the most important. Your husband is another matter. I hope he works on his issues, but if he doesn't, then he doesn't. You and your kids will be surrounded with prayer--what could be better. Take a deep breath and take care of yourself in the midst of all this!

Jenn I am so sorry that you are going through this trial......I know your heart is breaking.......I'm sure you feel like you're being stretched in two!  But you know God never gives you more than you can handle and I'm sure you know that!   I heard a preacher (R.W. Schambach)  once say that when you're going through the fire it's because God's bragging on you.  Just know you are surrounded by prayer and support.   You can call me any time if you need to talk. Hugs Pam

Big hug and many prayers for you and your family. I Hope the peace you deserve finds it's way to your home quickly-Janet K

Jenn, I agree with all and especially Pam about how much a person can handle a situation. God is there even though it does not seem like it. He knows what you have on your plate is what you can handle. During and after adversity I have always been amazed at how much closer I become with Him. You can do this. Go to the book of Psalms for strength, it is there. There are many other promises in the new testament, you know where they are at. Think of the footprints poem and the prayer of serenity. Do not try to do it all, lean on Him for your strength during this time. Chris

I'm so sorry to hear the news!  Like a few people said already, the most important thing is your daughter is safe.  I have been praying for you and your family and again, I'm going to have to agree with the others, God won't give you more than you can handle.  I wish I could say I understand this pain, but as far as the husband situation goes, I cannot.  I can only pray that he does some soul searching and sees how much you need him right now, but if he doesn't, maybe it's God's plan.    ((((HUGS)))) in the meantime, just be strong

Dea Jenn: BIG {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} to you. As everyone has said, at least your daughter is safe.  The husband, that is another story.  I am sorry to hear that he thinks you and your kids are too much trouble, but you need to focus on them and especially your daughter.  God will give you the strength that you need, and we are all here thinking of you and supporting you. Hang in there for better days.......

Jenn, I can't add anything that hasn't been said to you already today. Your daughter will get her problems worked out, and as far as the husband goes, If he can't handle these problems, he sure won't be able to take care of you. Call me if you need to talk or vent. Love ya,

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Its a good thing that you took action and got your daughter the help she needs!! Hang in there
