Divorce is so hurtful in so many levels. God has a plan for us, and accepting that, when people hurt so badly, is difficult.

I know this because I have been there. I pray for you, what I pray for myself, that we can let go of judging the wrongs and the pain that one person's actions may have imposed on others. It will not help anyone to judge and be angry with your  ex daughter in law.  I know this, because after 4 years of crying and hurting and thinking horrible things about my ex, it has only made me sadder.

It is difficult to forgive those who appear to create pain in our lives, but all of you, will have to, in order to move on.

I don't know how, but God is there, for us, not to judge, not to condemn, but to heal.   Anger will not heal your son and granddaughters, only your love and joy for the blessings of life. I know this, because of my own anger. This is the only way you can help, otherwise, you are promoting the pain, they already feel.

Cook your son dinners, lavish the kids with love, and let them cry, cry with them, BUT always assure them, they are loved, God will not let them down, he is always there to guide them, and life will get better.

I know this, and I also know it takes a very strong person to show love, when there is so much pain, but that is what your family needs from you, not your pity, not your judgement, but your love and grace.

I am praying that you can give them that and that they will feel your presence and the presence of the Lord, in their life.

Divorce is sad, can feel so cruel and lonely, but it is a cross that many bare, how we bare it, is how we will live our lifes.

God Bless you, I understand the pain of watching your kids hurt.

I just joined this prayer group today. I'm wondering if you have an update on your son and precious granddaughters. I'm praying for God's best for all of them, for comfort, grace, peace and the knowledge that the Lord is working and will continue to work in their lives for His best. I'm in a similar situation but it's my daughter trying to protect her two little girls through the court system from an abusive father. The courts' bias, at least where we are, seems to favor the fathers but in this case, it's not a good thing at all. Anyway, please let us know how things are going with your family. I know, as a grandmother, we hurt so much for our innocent grandchildren in situations like this and feel helpless to protect them when the courts don't. But I'm also learning that God's ways are higher than ours and that His will does ultimately bring about blessings and peace as we trust him.
