Empty chairs, empty beds, empty, heartbroken family.********************************************************************************
We, as a family, are mourning the little girls and the Karla that we loved. We know she is broken and we want her to be happy and to be able to find herself, recover from the trauma of her youth. We would welcome the healthy Karla with open arms. We would never try to force her to be where she doesn't want to be or try to force her into an unhappy marriage, but we would love to see her do the right thing for the girls, which might include being to be willing to locate where the girls could have both parents to love them and spend time with them DAILY. They could both have access without spending their entire income on travel back and forth across the country. She would be blessed for being selfless while she continues to mend. She has a support network here, even though she has tried to burn bridges (and is doing a pretty good job of it). We would help if she would be willing. We do believe in forgiveness for all mistakes that have been made by any concerned.
So sad. I am beyond heartbroken. So unfair and wrong for Jon to have to miss out on his girls' lives because of such selfishness.
ReplyDeleteIt is also sad that the girls miss out on a father's daily love and affection - knowing they are loved by their father and having him there and available is something that can never be replaced. There will be scars that never heal. Daughters with involved fathers always fare better in life and love. They also learn to understand their Father in Heaven's love because they can relate it to the love of their earthly father. No "virtual" father, "telephone" father or visiting stranger can possibly have the same impact. If manipulating things to that end is not selfish, I don't know what is. These little girls will quickly forget the passionate and fun father they had - the father that their mother has taken them from, moving them across the country with the full intent of eliminating him from their lives - knowing he cannot find work in S.C. In her self-centered world of her own "happiness" she cannot even see the impact. She was blessed with a father and has no idea what she is doing to these girls by removing them from him. The full extent of what she has done, having him thrown out, forbidden to return, no chance for good-bye and the girls thinking he has just disappeared from their lives is unthinkable. Then to have the nerve to say he abandoned them because he returned to Utah where he could actually find work, where had a home to live in so he wouldn't be in the streets of a strange place and where he was with people who loved him; not those who treated him like dirt, stepped on him and accused him falsely - left him for dead on the street if not for the good Christian Samaritan who helped him. One day....
