Debra, It is so strange that you said those words - "I want my family back." Before Bobby died, it seemed like I was blessed with such a wonderful family, but now it has all fallen to pieces. Not only did we lose Bobby, but my daughter, Cindy is divorcing her husband of 15 years, and her children are now "shared" with that every other weekend, every other holiday thing. Her husband has a girlfriend, and my daughter has a boyfriend. How confusing and disfunctional is that to her children! Then, there are Bobby's wife and his kids. She is bringing home her boyfriend and letting him sleep over with her kids in the house. Leah, Bobby's daughter, is 18 and she is having a lot of emotional problems. She even had to hospitalized in November of last year because she was talking to her Dad and thinking he was actually there with her. We have all moved so far away from each other. Bobby's wife and kids live in Florida, my daughter and her kids live in Georgia, and we live in Texas. We all used to live in Georgia and we had a wonderful family. All that has changed so drascially. I WANT MY FAMILY BACK! Bobby's death has opened so many emotions to all of us in so many different ways - and most of them not good.
Debra, please, please, please, just reach out for your boys. They need you more than you know. They need their Mom back. I know it is very difficult for you, but don't let them slip through the cracks. They are still here with you. Your family is the dearest and most precious thing that God has given you. Please let them know how much you love and need them. I will pray for you to get your family back.
Please pray for me that I will get mine back too.
Love to you my sweet sister,
Patti
