SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN

I'm so angry right now it's unbelievable!! It's going to take me some time to explain the reason, so please bear with me, my friends...

My brother, who's older than me, has a daughter with an ex-girlfriend...We hardly ever get to see her because her mother wants us to have nothing to do with the child. My brother finally won visitation rights after the judge got fed up with her antics. Since the judgement, my mother has been able to see Cheyenne a few times.

Okay, so anyway...My brother and his wife were supposed to have Cheyenne for an entire month starting this past holiday weekend. They made arrangements to pick her up and return her by mid August. Poor little Cheyenne was looking forward to spending a month with her Grammy and daddy. She was all packed and ready to go, until...

As she was walking out the door, her mother laid her usual guilt trip on her..."You know Cheyenne, if you go away and leave mommy for a whole month, I'm going to be awfully lonely without you."

Cheyenne promptly started to cry, dropped her suitcase, and ran back into the house. Needless to say, my brother is heart broken.

I love my brother to death, and it shames me beyond words to say that I wasn't always kind to him when we were younger. He's had drug and alcohol problems and has ended up in jail several times. He's doing his best to learn from his mistakes, but...

Everyone is still holding them against him...Even my own family. They treat him like a child, for God's sake!! Because of this, he feels worthless more often then he admits.

Cheyenne's mother is doing everything in her power to make sure we don't see her...We're being punished for my brother's past mistakes. But even worse than that...So is Cheyenne.

I don't understand how parents can pit their children against each other. They don't seem to care that their actions aren't hurting them in the end...They're hurting the child. God gives people the blessing of bringing children into this world to love them...But such actions are NOT taken out of love...They're taken out of hate.

My thing is...If you can't get along with your child's mother or father for whatever reason, DON'T USE THEM TO GET BACK AT ONE ANOTHER!!!! If you continue on such a path, you'll end up damaging them in more ways then you'll ever know.

Believe me...It's already happening to Cheyenne...
