I left my mentally and emotionally abusive husband of almost 8 years back in Dec. I had left him in the past but always went back for fear that he would take my daughter from me. His dad is a former cop and is on the Sherrif's Mounty Patrol and he had always made it very clear to me that "HE KNOWS PEOPLE". After everything I went through with them they managed to take her from me and I honestly believe that the judges mind was made up before we walked into the court room. I like everyone else have made mistakes in the past but they are all in the past and they were all a lesson learned but you could ask anyone that knows me or knew us as a couple I am a very good mom and I was a very good wife but you can only do so much for someone who doesn't appreciate anything you do they just expected it and demanded it. Everything I did revolved around my daughter I went to every school trip, I ate lunch with her, her dad never had anything to do with her or I. He only took her because that is the only thing he could do to hurt me anymore. He told me when I left that I would be back but our divorce was final in Oct. and I refuse to go back because I don't want my daughter to think that it is ok for a man to treat her the way he did me. I have filed papers to try to get the judge to reverse his decision which I have been told is very difficult but I can't give up because I along with everyone else know that he made the wrong decision. I know that there is one person that can reverse the judges decision and that is GOD. I am asking that anyone of you that believe in the power of prayer to remember me and this situation in your prayers. These papers are suppose to go to the judge this coming week and I have been told that it is gonna take an act of GOD to change this and I am praying for that. I hope that these last 8 years of pain and suffering not be in vain. Thank you from one mother to another for your prayers.

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Well it has been 6 months since my ex got custody of my daughter. I tried to get a new trail but it was denied. I have recently went back to the lawyer to find out what I can do now. I am suppose to get my daughter for the summer and during that time we are filing for a emergency hearing so that I can try to get her back before school starts up again. She is now 7 and she had gained 25 lbs. since he has had her. He doesn't even acknoledge the fact that it could be from her being depressed from all of this. I wish he would just realize the effect of this on her. She tells me all the time that she wants to come home and she wants to know when I am gonna go back to court to get her. It just breaks my heart. I just pray that when we go back this time that the judge reverses this and my baby gets to come home with her momma where she belongs. Please continue to keep us in your prayers.

Lord, I pray that your will would be accomplished in this situation. I pray for M.'s little girl, that you would protect her throughout these bitter proceedings, that you would guard her from all hard, physical, spiritual, and emotional. I thank you that you are the God of all forgiveness, and that whatever lies in the past that M.'s husband has used against her, Lord, that YOU would render it ineffective. I pray that you would provide the character witnesses for this case and that you would deal mercifully on behalf of M. and her daughter. I pray for M., that you would draw her to yourself, and give her rest and peace in her mind. Lord, I praise you that you cause ALL THINGS to work for good in those who love you and who are trusting you. Draw M. to yourself that she would find comfort in the midst of her pain. Lord, stretch out your mighty hand to stand against the arrogance and power of sinful man, that you would be seen and glorified in this situation.

I'll continue praying and will be anxious to see an update.

Dear M.. I am praying for you and your situation:

"God, we come to you in praise and thanks for being the almighty One that you are. You are awesome in your love, grace and mercy. Thank you for blessing us today and bringing M. and her precious daughter into this world, Lord. We know that Your purpose is for us to live to glorify you; that our lives can bring many to the foot of the cross. God, I ask you this morning to bring upon a miracle for M. and her child. You know the truth Lord. I pray that M. bring herself to you in fullness, offering her life to your purpose; that she trusts you completely.

We thank you for bringing M.'s daughter back to her. We thank you for creating that "miracle" in this situation because we know you are all powerful, God. We thank you for giving M. the courage, strength and love to stand in waiting, Lord. I pray for M. to be completely in your light - that she lean on you for every action, every word she speaks and every moment she lives through this difficulty. I pray all of this in your holy name, Amen."

We'll keep praying... God Bless.

omg!!!! my heart goes out to you, i will keep you in my prayers, but i think that if things dont go your way you need to write to a higher court, i have seen this happen so many times, women and men who lose their children due to someone knowing someone higher up. This is an unjust practice and needs to be stopped. Are you in Texas???? If so I can get some information to you, i am also a criminal justice major and have a copy of the penal code book with a lot of information. Im wondering what the hell they used against you for him to get custody. Moms who lose their kids have to be on drugs or abusive to lose their kids to their husdand especially a female child so young as your daughter.
Yes prayer is very good but you need to get on your phone and call whoever you can, write a ad in the paper....let the world know that you have been violated as a parent, create a website and tell your story.....do a petition on petition.com, if you light fire under that judge's a$$ he will feel the heat being put on him and may reverse it to save himself from looking bad.
And it will also make your ex look bad for being so evil and trying to hurt you. But if you sit back and do nothing they will think they have won, you need to let them know that your not going to back down, stay on their asses.....
Just remember this MEDIA is POWER!!!!! USE IT!!!!!

Hey M.!

I will be praying for you! I am so sorry to hear that you are in this situation anyway! I do agree with Tonya also, this should be brought to others attention. It seems like this is starting to happen more often because someone "knows people"! Its not right at all!! Like she was saying if it gets out,especially in a small town, the judge may change his decision so he wont look bad! But I will be sure and keep you in my prayers!! If you ever want to talk you can email me!! = ) good luck sweetie!!

Bye

You are in my prayers, sweetie; have you thought about maybe calling some newspapers in the area? They're always looking for a story and maybe publicizing it (in a way that won't exploit your daughter) might bring it to the right person's attention. If anything you could help prevent it from happening to another woman in an abusive relationship. Reaching out to others is a wonderful way of dealing with your pain.

Hi M.,
First I must say that I admire your strength for going through with leaving this man, even when you knew how hard it would be. Many women would not show the strength and courage you have, and your daughter will be very proud of you, now and even more so in the future, when she is older and has a better understanding of what you did for her. Its a good example to give. I wish there was some way that I could help you through this difficult time. But I am a firm believer in "that what goes around comes around." So I am sure things will work out for you. I will certainly keep you in my prayers. Keep your head up, and good luck......
