Oh dear

[MrsR]

Logged on to fb this morning to a nasty private message from, we think, OH's ex mil. Quick back ground-OH has a 7 year old son who he hasn't seen in a year due to many many different reasons, some his fault, some his ex's fault and yes, some my fault too. Anyway I put up a status saying how proud I am of OH and how blessed we are and how our prayers have been answered with this new job. Then I receive a private message saying,
'how dare you spout Christianity when you have no compassion and no humanity stopping a 7 year old boy from seeing his father because you are jealous. You should go to God confess your sins and beg for forgiveness'. Now I am 'born again' and I have gone to God, confessed my sins, and He, I believe, has forgiven me. I was so close to sending her abuse back but I restrained myself and sent this instead;
The Lord knows my heart and He has welcomed me home. He forgives me and that is all I need. I pray for all who do not know Him. Only He can judge me and He will as He will judge us all when the living Christ returns to us. I welcome that day. I have denied nothing, the Lord knows how I strived to arrange solicitors appointments but in the end it is not my place to do so. The choice is not and was not mine. God has brought me home, reconciled me and forgiven any sin I may have committed. May the Lord bless you and your family. Amen.
I have also been to see my vicar this morning and we're hoping to try to work out OH seeing his son again. Just as a point I never stopped OH seeing his son, in fact I arranged numerous solicitors appointments, looked after his son and welcomed him. I just hope I did the right thing replying (though unfortunatly she is so afraid of the answer that she has blocked me so won't be able to read it). I must say that my faith was tested today with her and with a link that I saw on YouTube about sone woman. Do you girls think I did the right thing?

 

[MrsR]

Oooops, that was a bit longer than I anticipated. Sorry!!!!

 

[Esoames]

Yes you did, it's not on when people don't know the full picture x

 

[MrsR]

Thank you for replying honey x It makes me sad she feels so bitter and angry x

Helen I really hope that link didn't upset you too much. As I say it did upset me.but I was just so shocked not to share it.
This woman obviously doesn't know the full story nor does she know you! Big hugs! At least you and your family know the truth!

*hugs*

 

[MrsR]

Thanks hon x the link did upset me but more because of the harm she's doing to Christianity and the horrific things in the name of God that others will see and think wrong things iygwim? x thank you x need hugs lol

God really does help in situations like this. I too have become more religious since being with my OH, he's very religious. Every time I get angry over his ex posting something on Facebook or something or other, I just think in a religious state of mind. Also if any one does something I think is wrong, disgusting or disrespectful on facebook etc, I sometimes don't bother commenting on it because I know it's not my place to do so. God deals will all those shenanigans

I think you did the right thing, and it's nice to see you aren't beating yourself up over this. Don't sink low and don't lose control of that anger, you might just say something you will regret. By all means write another status about how happy you are with your little family and your OH, I do this every day and I know it causes some jealousy, but if I'm abnormally happy and I want to share that Love and happiness somehow, I don't see why any one should stop me Same goes to you hun.

Also, in my experience.. people who send you private messages and then block you, are cowards and cannot face up to the truth or bare your reply to them. My "friend" got her "friend" to send my OH a Facebook message (very abusive and very pathetic).. my OH is not someone you want to mess with like that, he's very opinionated and clever, he'll get around anything you could say to hurt him/threaten him.. and so this girl blocked him before he could reply (which made my OH quite annoyed because he had such a good comeback )

Thank you so much for your reply! It was my DD who got us to go to church! Lol! Yeah I try to think about what Jesus would do, how he had to suffer and how he tells us to turn the other cheek and pray for our enemies.

I wish she had read my reply, it might have brought her some peace.

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

I think you did the right thing hun! And it's true, by sending you that and then blocking you it shows she is just a coward! If you've not deleted te message, make a xopy of it, cos it could some in useful zz

 

[MrsR]

Good point MMG&I think I'll keep it, just in case x thank you for your reply x

 

[Me, My Girls & I]

Did it allow you to send your message to her? If it did, I'd screenshot that too xx

 

[MrsR]

No it didn't It kept saying 'your message can't be posted at this time' which makes me think she's blocked me. I have it copied though.
