I will do this... only cause I trust you, and know what you say is right. And yes, I agree it is time to let her go and let God do his deed. It is easier said than done, and I know you all know this... but you have to think of it this way...

I love my mom, but I HATE what she has done to my childhood memories. I HATE the woman she has become now, and I HATE how she manipulates EVERYONE around her, and burned all her bridges with all her family... including myself.

Proverbs 3:5
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding"

This is the verse I say to myself all the time cause It's true in my walk with God.
I understand Little Bit....
Let me tell you something I learned in a Seminar one time...
The man teaching was a Christian and he said something that really stayed with me.
He said.... the person we dislike the most is the person we will become like.

That is strong ..... believe me... I know because I found myself becoming like my mom.
I didn't want to be like her and turns out sometimes I am.

I know you are trying. I won't bother you with this anymore. I know I came
across strong. I don't mean to sound that way... It troubles me what is happening
to you. Now my precious Little Bit... I am letting go and letting God... You are His.
I am sorry I hurt you.. I really care and love you. It grieves my spirit ... I am sorry. J~K~2.

You haven't upset me, I get what you are saying and I'm processing it all. My husband agrees with you. I know you care about me. and I care about you too. I am letting this thing with my mom go, and maybe sometime in the future i can have a nice talk with my mom and see how that goes. Love to you, don't worry about me. I will be just fine, as long as I have God on my side... the Devil can't touch me. =)

You will be fine and the reason I know this is because I know that you will lean into the polishing wheel of God.

It hasn't been easy... but I am doing so.

Jay K 2 thank you for sharing, and for all your advice to me and to the others. You are wise and kind and reading your words, it is comforting. It would be so nice to have a heart like yours near by to know and learn from. A friend echoed your exact sentiment...give my mother to God. And the comment about holding onto things, remembering her words and actions how they come with the spirit in which they were delivered! Very poignant, very eye opening. Thank you so much.
I love to see how everyone is helping each other, it helps me too. God bless you all and your hearts be healed. I enjoy coming back each week and catching up and getting more to think on.

How kind of you to say this. I was reading in scripture last night about how
we go through things in order to help another who might be going through the
same. I know you will have something to share you have learned, and we will
all have done what is pleasing to the Lord. God bless you ~ J~ K~2

Some people are fantastic manipulators and are toxic. I think it wise to cut toxic friends or family loose.

I did and it was the best move I ever made. Make no mistake about it, I tried every possible avenue and it looked as though they were enjoying it. I cut ties with them and went on with my life and thrived while they endured painstaking hardship. Be patient and trust Jesus because I wouldn't be surprised if you will eventually have your son all to yourself when the Lord decides to judge your mother & ex-wife. Judgment Day is coming very soon.
