SD never coming home!

I just want to THANK GOD & all of the people that have been praying the devil out of my house. I am not saying that SD is the devil but one must understand that I have been dealing with principles & principalities. Please don't misunderstand, I have not prayed for this child to stay away, I have only prayed for God's perfect will to be done in this situation, whatever that might be. I have, however, asked the Lord to change her or remove her far from me.

SD has pouted & whined & cried in order to get DH to allow her to live w/grandma, just like I knew she would. She has all the freedom in the world at grandma's & doesn't have to lift a finger to do a thing for herself becuz grandma does it all. she can sleep till 1:00pm everyday, shower twice a week, and stay w/BF for days on end & not go to school at grandmas. On top of that, DH says he will never make her go back to regular school & at grandma's she can get away with all of her destructive behavior.

Things have calmed down tremendously in my home. DH has been home since Friday nite, although he does stop at his mothers house to visit w/SD after work everyday. That's ok. Not my business + it gives me some time by myself in the evenings.

SD said, and I quote "I would rather live in Satan's Hell-hole than go back to that house." And I thought to myself, does this child understand what she's saying?

Meanwhile, on the homefront, everyone in my house is on a schedule, lights out by 10:00pm. All appliances are off during the day while we are at work because ALL of the other children & DH & I are either in work or school FULL TIME! My entire family, except for SD of course, was in church this past Sunday.

My oldest daughter past all of her summer classes & cried tears of joy when she got her grades becuz she really didn't think she could do it. It has given her new motivation to forge on w/her education & she picked a major --- Liberal Sciences. She's decided she wants to be a Family Counselor & the entire situation w/SD was a catalyst for us to go to counseling & my daughter to be inspired to help others. So you see, God really can take something that the enemy means for evil & turn it around into something GOOD! Also, my daughter was awarded $$$ to pay for her tuition & books. Another shout-out to the Lord!

Me & my girls were given a homework assignment by our counselor to pray for DH & SD everyday for the next 2 weeks & that has been helping us to heal.

My DH is sad that his daughter is not w/ us but I am still hopefull that God will do something to make everything turn out for the best for everyone involved. It also seems as though I will get what I asked for from the Lord & that is a peaceful & quiet maternity leave, at home alone w/ the new baby. My last day at work is in a week.

My mother, my STEP-MIL, & my father-in-law, & my friends that know the entire situation, even my landlord (becuz she had an incident w/SD that cost her some property $$ damage)and my poolman, becuz he almost got fired from his job becuz of one of SD's lies, have been praying that SD would go live w/grandma. I am so thankful! I was hoping for the best-case scenario, that DH would be able to set down ground rules & be able to discipline her. But as the weeks have gone by in counseling, i could see that we were not going to come to an ideal resolution, so God moved on my behalf. I feel mixed feelings. I'm relieved, but i'm sad for my husband also, but not sad enough to allow insanity to come back to my home. So, i'm praying it away and praying for God to KEEP it away!

Maybe you all can regain some sense of normality now. And maybe your relationship with DH will flourish. I just hope SD gets some sense before she winds up pregnant or hooked on drugs. God bless you all.

It is a shame but at least you are free! Sounds like karma will get SD, too bad for her Smile

believe differently on the religious front, I am happy for you and your family that you seem to have found peace. I am sorry that your DH will have to live with the monster he created (figuratively speaking of course). I do also hope that she doesnt become hooked on drugs or pregnant!

Congrats on the baby and enjoy your time of peace!
