Divorce

It feels like a death in the family- and I guess it IS- but not the death of a person. It's the demise of a family's plans and dreams- the hopeful projection of a beautiful future- Our lovely daughter and handsome son-in-law are getting divorced.

I've heard talk. This is a small town, and the Sterlings and the Schenavars are well known. In cases such as these, it's inevitable that THEIR family will have THEIR spin on events, and OUR family will have OUR spin, but the TRUTH of the matter is- NO ONE, not me, not even the two kids at the center of this- NO ONE really knows everything.  There's too much hurt in the process. And even the two involved, often, misconstrue, and deliberate or not, misunderstand, or inflate a comment here, deflate intention there and believe things that may not be. There are two sides to this, and I ask you to remember that. 

What I know is that, while disappointed in events and in certain actions BOTH of these kids have done, we recognize the overwhelming goodness of them BOTH. We love them BOTH. We are devastated this could not work out, and now, we pray for healing on both sides, lessons learned which will improve their selves, and lives moving forward into happiness and fulfillment. 
 
A good friend sent me this quote by Marianne Williamson:  
"What's difficult in life is to stay centered when somebody does or says something that tempts us to close our hearts because their heart was closed. That is hard. But that is also how we grow. We go through those circumstances in order to evolve into people who can hold to our loving center no matter what the world throws us".  Help me honor all struggling people by working at this. Help me choose understanding, forgiveness, and love over criticism, anger and derision.
NEITHER family is interested in your show of loyalty if it involves denigrating either person especially since you are not equipped with all the information to be able to judge, or the mandate from God to take over His provenance. Give us hugs. Give us love. Help us heal. Remember that NO ONE wanted this ending to their story.

  6. The best thing about living in a small town is we only have one lawyer downtown. Everybody knows him by name, especially the judge. I think that whatever the cost for your lawyer, it is far worth the price compared to having to pay any fines or surcharges that the courts can easily impose on you if you are found guilty.

  7. I'm sure that there is enough LOVE in Thompson Falls to hold up all the hurting people involved..We all learn from experiences in our lives..Chelsey and Dan will learn from this..Now, we all need to surround them with love and hugs..A hug is the best medicine one can give in this type of circumstance....I have always said, spend as much time improving yourself than criticizing or judging others..All things work together for Good and they will stand on that promise.
