Cory, life is way to short. Glad you are able to get close to them again.

New development, her husband took his life last night. Not sure how I feel about it?

It's going to be a tough time for her for awhile, guess he was begging her to come back, I was on this side constantly telling her she was free and not to go back, I didn't know he was begging her I was just taking every opportunity to tell her how nice it was to have her back and not to fall back into the trap. Going to be some tough times ahead, full steam ahead on our part to help her through.

Oh My Cory!
Our prayers and thoughts are with you! 'Lots of healing and rebuilding... It will be okay in the long run. God Bless!

Cory, God has a purpose for everything, and maybe this was for the good of your daughter. There is no way to tell how abusive people will react during/after a divorce, and while it will be hard on her to adjust, you'll know she's safe and not have to worry about what might happen. You were doing the right thing so don't let his actions weigh you down. I know you'll be there for your daughter and granddaughters, and they need you strong, not second guessing yourself. Keep the faith, brother.

Thanks Steve, no worry on my part, I know it's all for the best and I know for certain she is in a far better place without him and I'd have done everything in my power to insure it ended up with them staying apart. I'm just thankful his reaction didn't include the kids or her!!

You are absolutely correct, my biggest fear up until yesterday was that she would never have a chance to actually go out and date and start her life over, he was the type that would have been in the middle of anything she did and he was an MMA/UFC fighter so there was more than likely no way anyone would have endured his intervention and hung around. He certainly made her life going forward much easier, as you said, God has a plan, I see this as a good sign going forward, the world is hers now all she needs to do is make sure she's learned from her mistakes and head the right direction now and I'll be there to help although the choice is hers.

Wow Cory, I'm so sorry.
It's good your daughter and kids are ok. There is a fine line between homicide and suicide and it sounds like they made it out just in time. One thing, women who have been in abusive relationships are like magnets to these creeps. They will go from one abusive relationship to the next. Been there, done that myself. Please make sure she and the children get as much help dealing with this as possible. The children may try to take the same road to self destruction as they get older because of his choices. I wish you all the best.

Cory,
I have seen the genuine you! You are the real thing and your relationship with God shows through. Your family exudes the love you show them!! And they show it back! All you can ask for is the strength and compassion of Gods love to get you through this. Your daughter has much healing to do. All you can do is to show her that you will be there for her as you have always been.

To let her know that when there is only one set of footprints, he is carrying you!! My heart and prayers go out to you in your time of need. In her time of need. This to shall pass. Easy to say when you are not there…

Take care my brother in the Lord!

Cory,

I am so glad that your daughter and grandkids got away from that guy!! Like Rhona said..."There is a fine line between homicide and suicide". I won't go into how I know that, but I too thank the Lord that your family escaped when they did!!! I know that you will always be there to give them the support and love that they need!! Bless you...

Now it's time to focus on the future and the happiness that the family will have in the years to come!!

 

[hookedtrout]

Thanks again everyone, we'll get through the funeral today and tomorrow and then it's exactly as you've said, it's all about the future. She and I had a really nice long talk yesterday and I assured her that the difficulty may be today but the future, tomorrow, was as bright as it's ever been and she needed to lean heavily upon me for what ever she needed in order to get to tomorrow, nothing else matters.

little steps.... day by day..... Only focus on the day ahead of you. Life will soon start to take care of itself.

My heart goes out to you Cory!

Thanks Rob, like you said, one day at a time, I took tomorrow off and I asked her if we could spend the day together and she thought that would be great so me, my daughter and the two girls are going to go play all day long tomorrow. I can't frikin wait...it's been a long time coming and I'm sure I'll go a little overboard but we are going to have some fun, finally going to get to spoil my granddaughters a little bit, I figure I deserve it and they deserve it too.

 

[PonyGal]

Cory,

Hope you and the girls have a lot of fun! I know you will. Can't wait to see pictures.

And you're right...you "deserve it and they deserve it too"!!! Let the spoiling begin!!!

We had a wonderful time, all I can say is I'm so thankful that I now have this opportunity. If anyone is out there and missing their opportunity I challenge you to go after it, it is so wonderful.

Nice

Sweet, glad to see you are making progress.

They just finished pouring a 36 x 24 pad in front of mine. I bought Jace a portable basketball hoop thing and we set it up inside and you can play basketball inside with the rim at 10' and you don't hit the rafters. It's pretty sweet, never dreamed I'd have my own indoor basketball court. The only thing I have left that is a must do before winter is power. We dug the trench and all the conduit and wire is pulled I just need to line up the power company and my eldest son, Dusty, the electrician at the same time so the power company can pull the meter from the house and move it to the shop and then my son can wire in the house to a new junction box and then turn it back on. It's all there I just can't line the two up together because my son is off archery hunting, sent a video of a nice elk he shot, if I could figure out how to upload a video I'd do it.
