Update on My Daughter/Thank You for the Prayer
Hey All! I came on here at the beginning of the week asking you all for prayers for my daughter and you definitely came through. She has discovered who her true friends are and she has a tremendous amount of support. I hope you will continue to send some up for her because we are still struggling with some of the fallout from the situation. Her “best friend” is not being as supportive as Sara thought and you know how that hurts a 14-year-old; not to mention the high school admin and coaching personnel having a lukewarm approach to dealing with it…
At the risk of sounding very needy, I ask you to continue to pray for us, please.
On to my weight loss. I dropped another pound this week, which puts me at 30 lbs total lost! That has been a highlight of my week. I really needed a loss.
I will tell you that this situation with my daughter has been so bad at times that I couldn’t even eat, so you know it has to be pretty tough. I tend to eat to smother all of my feelings. This cannot be covered up by food.
With the job I have, in the very small area in which I live, I cannot share my feelings freely w/o the whole little Peyton Place running their mouths, and I am turning to you guys too much probably. But I am trying to remember what my dearly departed father always told me growing up - ”Pride cometh before the fall.”
I love you guys…

That’s a hard lesson to learn at such a young age - finding out who your true friends are when situations arise. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Congratulations on your weightloss - I hope you manage to remain healthy during this time. (((HUGS)))
It’s hard for any of us to deal with treachery, but for a 14 year old the drama of the situation is magnified many times over. I know as a mama and grandma how much you want to cushion your baby from all the bumps and bruises. The best you can be is a soft place to land, and a good listener. I’ll send some special prayers for you and your daughter this Sunday. (I feel they’re extra special when I send them directly from the choir loft. Maybe they’ll get there quicker.) lol)
Never feel you are depending on us too much or asking for prayer-That’s what friends are for!!!
