My husband got denied bond this morning, and I need prayers that his hearing this afternoon can go the best that it absolutely can be, and that his new lawyer is an intelligent fighter who can help get him out of incarceration.
For the last 5 years, he’s been my main support system. While I’ve gone out to work, he’s stayed at home and watched the kids so that we could save some money on childcare. Well, as we all know, times are really hard right now, so I got him a job with my company and we were alternating between shits and childcare (he would work the opening shift while I watched the kids, and then I would close while he watched them). We did that for about a month, our entire goal to try and get the kids in daycare so the workload could be a bit smoother… but we fell flat on our faces and failed. My husband had worked a double on Monday (9AM-12:30AM Tuesday), and I had to open go open a store Tuesday morning. While I was at work, our youngest got outside and went to the end of our cul-de-sac, and someone ended up calling the police. His father and sister were in the house as well, when everything went on, but he was the only one charged because, obviously, it’s our kids.
I’m not trying to say he/we didn’t do anything wrong. I’m not trying to condone his actions or make excuses, but I am asking, from the very bottom of my heart for prayers to help get him out. His children miss him. I miss him. I’ve taken a major cut in hours & pay because I don’t have the support I usually do. My dad and his partner are helping the best that they can, but mentally and spiritually, this isn’t the best place for my kids to be, and my family is trying to use this situation to push me into the way of life they think I should be living, instead of helping me explore all my avenues of help. Ultimately, no one can really help me watch the kids, and now I’m really going to have to find my own place to.
I’m sorry this is so long and that it’s kind of sporadic in wording. I don’t have anyone to talk to about this, especially anybody who believe the Power of Christ, and I just feel very alone right now. I know I can do this, I know that I am capable- I have God on my side. I’m not stressed or worried, because I know ultimately, he has the very best planned out for me and my family, but I’ve been praying on it and he keeps telling me to turn here. I’ve very new to asking people to pray for me, and I’m being a bit more open than I truly would like. So please, try not to judge, and please pray for truly the best possible outcomes for today- because I need it.
Thank you🤍
