Greetings in Jesus' Name.
There is an on going battle of a divorce kind....WITH THE KIDS HELD HOSTAGE IN THE MIDDLE!
These are my brother-in-law (hubby's brother) & his wife's son's kids.
It was both their own faults (and certainly could have been dealt with differently).
However, the end result is that the kids' mother remarried and refuses ANY visitation of the 2 kids to their dad OR their grandparents (my BIL & wife). They have been to numerous courts about it and have spent so much money it is unbelievable that it should go on so long: 2 YEARS! and they have not seen the kids PLUS she is trying to get his parental rights terminated and wants her new husband to adopt them!! In doing this, she has lied repeatedly and has moved and withheld them sooo long...even when court ordered. Every court case tho has been "rescheduled" so that nothing seems to be getting resolved.
When I last saw these two adorable children, their Grammy (my Christian sister-in-law) was soooo in love with them and had them to her house very often....they are the loves of her life I can tell you. She was always a great Mom but an even better Grammy!! It hurts so much to see her pain when yet another of their birthdays or Christmas or summer vacation goes by without any contact with them and hear the lies the Mom is saying against her too...and lies they ARE!!
My prayer has been:
Lord, if you can't change the Mother's mind, could Gramma & Grampa please just raise those kids? They will make sure they are taken out of the harmful middle and placed in Your hands as they teach these precious children about YOU. Please PLEASE help them Lord.
Yet again, the last court day was postponed...sigh...and is taking it's toll on them.
This is what I received from her just today:
Our family is requesting all our families and friends to please be joined in prayer for us at 11:00 a.m. Wednesday, February 20th. It is a long story that I can't get into right now but we will need prayers for wisdom, strength, and justice. Please feel free to have other people join us in these prayers. We are up against a terrible injustice and we will need to have a lot of strength to persevere.
Love to you,
PLEASE be in prayer for their favor with the court system on that date.
Thank you so much for reading this and for you who will pray for them.
Giant sissy hugs,
Your sissy,
