Humble Servant of All
Today was a rough day. My son was acting up a little and I defused it; things seemed good. Then we went to Wal-Mart; they seemed happy to see fish. There was a guy behind me; he wasn't very nice to me. Well, remember a couple of days ago, my son was brought home by the police because his friend smashed up someone's property; that was him. ### didn't remember him, but he remembered him. Then he let me have it about how my son was with the police and how my son was foul-mouthed with his wife. I tried to explain to him how our neighbor harassed us for 4 years and when we called the police and housing authority, they did nothing because he's a confidential informant for the police, so they get a free pass on everything. Now my son hates cops. This guy didn't care. I left crying; I felt like a piece of shit. All I ever wanted is to be a good mom and be proud of my kids. I have nothing; why won't God let me have that? I work with kids that have problems; I learn to be compassionate. I am so heartbroken. I talked to my son; he can't see how wrong he was. He knew I was upset; usually, he blows up, and it's a big out-of-control thing, but it didn't go that way as we went out to eat and talked in public about it. I'm still upset, but he could feel the disappointment and tried to justify it. I love God, but every time I do something, it seems to turn to shit. I love my son so much; money means nothing; my kids are my riches. Please pray for my son, healing from our neighbor's past bad deeds, and healing from the bad feelings toward the police.
