DAY THIRTEEN ~ MEETING THIRTEEN
ACCEPTANCE OF LIFE
I sat at the meeting and listened to everyone sharing. I nodded my head agreed with what everyone was saying, but still wasn't sure what I was going to write about for today. Well HP darn Him, if He isn't really working! This one was a doozy, though. My husband came home from his parents' house with our children and was very short with me. I knew something was wrong and he didn't want to tell me. He finally divulged to me that my parents had shown up there after his parents told them that the kids were there. I was calm to begin with … I really was. Then, I started to think and didn't bother to pray about it.
We have repeatedly told my parents to stay completely away from our children and they keep trying to see them, whether it be behind our backs or now apparently completely out in the open. My in-laws have been told our wishes and agreed to respect them. This is the second time that we have caught them letting my parents come to their house when the children were there. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for my children to be protected from someone who abused me for years and the person that protects him and denies anything could have ever happened. I just cannot put my children at risk for anyone or anything. They are too precious to me.
Of course, instead of going to HP with this, I took it out on my husband and was cranky. I let this situation affect other things in my life, like finding out what the sex of our unborn baby is, playing with my kids at the park, etc. It's not fair to our children or to my husband and I am the one that is making it so. It is the way that I am reacting to the situation that is completely out of control. At least I am learning something.
Until tomorrow ~
I'm Kim
