My family is in need of prayer. I am re-married, but have two daughters from my previous marriage. My ex-husband and I have always been on good terms, and he has been a great and supportive father. So supportive, that when times got tough between my oldest teenage daughter and I, she was given the option to live with him and has been for the last two years. That was really hard and I've had to miss alot of her high school milestones because they live in Universal City and she's too busy for mom. My younger teenage daughter, who is my best friend and a beautiful person just came back from a weekend at dads and primarily because we argued, wants to move in with dad now as well. Not alot hurts more than feeling like I've failed as a mom. I know that is a silly statement because geography doesn't define anything, but losing both my daughters is unbearable. I'm the one that gets up at 5:30 for volleyball practice rides and purchases everything for home-ec at the last minute. I give the friends rides when needed and buys everything "longhorn" for the bedroom because that's her dream. I'm not saying my ex-husband is un-fit by any means, but he is not financially able to support two teenagers and their "needs", or assist with making the right decisions or the hard decisions sometimes. Is it selfish also to say I need her? My husband is serving in Iraq and maybe that makes this so much harder, but I honestly feel like it is in her best interest to be here. Please pray for my family and that God will show me what is the right decision for us. Thank you so much.
