children only come through us
they are not us or represent us.
dont forget that Kind David the Great who was an amazing King and leader of his people. He killed Goliath all by himself.....his son, not the famous on Solomon, but the other son seeking to kill him in order to take over the thrown. If King David's own son can turn out to plan a murder of his father, it happens. However, when the kings reps found his son they couldnt capture him alive and they killed him. The king heard the news and cursed the soldiers that killed and beggs and cried for god to allow his son the mercy of keeping him out of hell
that is the love a parent will always feel for a child no matter what child will do.
and that is how far a child can go to destroy a parent.
you are in good company.

What can I say to make things any better for you? It sounds as if your adult life has been nothing but problems. May God by with you and may the hearts of your children be softened toward you.

i also believe in reaping what we sow. the story-tellers will be tired one day.
i pray that your children learn some gratitude, though. when deployed, steven should be hearing only good things from you and the family. i remember my grandma - she was suffering very bad health at one point when grandad was in combat- she told him nothing of it. we were all warned to stay the same. only pleasantries were discussed - the man needed to feel safe in the knowledge that his family was ok while he was out there serving the country!
unless you have already done it, i think you need to sit your kids down and knock some sense into their stubborn heads - or get someone else (even professional) to do it. if seeing you struggle can't make them supportive, the last thing they should be, is damaging - your separation from steven is bad enough.
i am sorry if i have expressed too much (they are your children afterall, and no one really has the right to point fingers at them), but please think about what i've said. i won't deny that this situation is tough on them too. of course they miss dad. and maybe even, they don't want a third person to come in. they can't understand that the help angle. but defamation of their own mother! this no way to deal with it.
may god bless you and your efforts.
