Help me with this soap opera that has become my life
Life has not now nor ever been very kind to my family. I am a firm believer in the Bible but I think now my family has been handed more than we can take. I guess I will start with our mother, she has been ill for many years.She was diagnosed at age 52 with hardening of the arteries and (there is a specific name for it but my spelling of it would not make it clear) and blood clots. She had surgery for blockage on the right side of her neck (was at 90% blockage) and then the left side a year later. Just 2 weeks ago she had a lump removed from the left side of her face through her nasal cavity. She has fought and will keep fighting the long road. My 2 brothers, my sister and I all fell into very bad marriages along the way. They all would make for a best-selling horror story, mystery novel. My oldest brother recently moved to Florida to help his friend who's wife is terminal (hospice is coming in and out now taking care of her). My little brother is desperate for money as he needs a good lawyer (or just a good lawyer to volunteer their time) right now to help gain custody of his daughter. Let's just say something is wrong with our judicial system when they would even consider letting a child live with a child molestor over a father who works his fingers to the bone, cooks, cleans, takes this child to school every morning, braids her hair every night and breaks him in two at the thoughts of having to live without her. He is a wonderful man, a devoted Christian and well, you get the picture. Then there is my sister and her children. They are living in horror at this very moment. My sisters husband is a very abusive man (using that word lightly right now). She is desperate to get away from him with her 4 children. He will not leave the house and she just found out that they are getting ready to forclose on it. No one in our family has money to help her get away. We so desperately wish we did. I suppose it now leaves me. I have 4 children of my own also. My ex-husband put my children and I through the works also, but we got away. I recently (6-1-2007) married a very, very wonderful man. He wants to adopt our children. The problem here is he is stuck in the Netherlands. We want him home so very badly. He had to leave to see to his family on June 6th and we just have not had the money for him to come back home. With life being crazy as it is and every dime being pinched just to keep a roof over the children's heads we don't have anything more to afford a ticket home. Now with all of this said I would like to ask for prayer from members here. Please pray for my family that everything will turn out ok. If anyone has any advice on how to get legal support for my brother and sister, how to get money together so my sister and neice and nephews can be safe, how to bring my husband back home economically or cheap or free would work best, I would really appreciate it. Sorry this was such a long post, I needed to get all of this off my chest as well as seek any help possible. Thank you so much, Lisa
