Ladies please forgive me, but I am so behind in my reading of the Purpose Driven Life. We've had some very serious trouble happen to our dd lately. She has two of the male roommates of hers verbally harrassing her for about the past 3 months. It got REAL bad on Tuesday and I've just been very busy helping her via phone to get out of that place and moved to somewhere else. She lives 2 hours away. Anyway, I won't get into it but I promise to try hard to get caught up this weekend and add my posts. Please remember my dd in your prayers. Shes gone through so much emotional trauma from all of this.

hugs, lisa

Where does she live and how do I get there? That is absolutely outrageous and those boys need a couple of things pointed out to them I'm sure. That just makes me furious. Harrassment of any kind makes me mad. Good luck and hang in there. As if it weren't hard enough being away from home...

Tweety, no apologies are necessary. Take care of yourself and post when you can. We'll be here.

Tweety, so sorry to hear of your DD's situation. I so detest people that feel the need to verbally abuse those around them. I hope you find alternate housing for her so she can leave those creeps behind. It's just such a shame that she is the one that has to do all this and remove herself from an unpleasant situation.

Big hugs to you and your daughter.

Tweety, it sounds like you have a very clear and important purpose right about now. I hope everything works out well for your daughter; she'll be far better off away from those losers.

Take care of yourself and your girl!

Good grief - you're doing good not to put those boors in the emergency room. You take care of your daughter and don't worry about us. She needs you badly right now.

I'm so sorry to hear about the abuse to your dd, Tweety! How disgusting & sickening that those men would do that to anyone! I will keep her and you in my prayers to get thru this ordeal. I hope you get her settled with some nicer roommates.

Hugs,

Hugs back to you and DD, Lisa. What an awful thing to have happen and being 2 hours away. Makes you feel so helpless, but it is good she is getting out of the situation.


Don't worry about posting...DD is more important right now.


Of course I will send prayers for all of you.


Hugs

Thank you all for all your kind words and prayers. Its been a very hard week for dd and myself. These boys have been harrassing her for about 2-3 months now. But this past Tuesday night was the worst. For no reason at all they started to pound on the floor above her room and scream that they hated her and, to quote, "I hate you, you F_ _ _ _ _ G B_ _ _ _! and kept repeating those words and worse. She got scared and called us. She decided to go to the fitness center she works out at and get away. We told her to call us as soon as she started to walk back into the house. Nothing happened at that time but they were all there and she over heard them planning a party because there was no school for them the next day. She was afraid of another raid and I told her to get out of there. Her voice when I spoke with her was just shaking. So she stayed at her boyfriends. Anyway, the next day her boyfriend and his friend helped her move out and into his sisters house with her. So since Tuesday she has moved most of her stuff, changed her address, filled out and returned a form for a free attorney to get her out of her lease, shut down all things that were in her name, and just turned her whole life around emotionally. She called me today and was in tears because she was at work and accidentally gave a customer too much change, when she realized it, she told her boss (who also knows what she's going through and understands)and she just broke into tears and told him she would pay the money right now. He told her it was fine and it was okay, not to worry about it. She says, "mom I'm getting enough sleep now but I'm so tired and all I want to do is cry all the time" I told her that she is emotionally drained and that was understandable. She needed to give herself some time and just take a deep breath and relax. It was so nice that her boss was so understandable. But that worries her so. She doesn't like to make mistakes like that. I told her to go to the fitness center and workout tonite and maybe she'll feel a bit better. Shes so fit already and really has lost alot of weight from all of this. I just don't know what to do next. We will be going there on Sunday to help her move her big stuff and to take her a dresser. I'm going to take her some flowers too....kind of my valentines gift and just a small something to cheer her up. Shes been through so much. Because of all this, she has started seeing a counselor about a month ago. This person has been a wonderful help to her. She hooked her up with a number to call to get a free attorney to help her out of her lease. Shes been a wonderful advisor to my dd. I just wish I could be of better help to her. I've been so stressed out with it myself lately that I finally spoke with my boss on Thursday about it. I told her everything and she said she knew there was more going on in my life then just the headaches that I've been saying. Well, shes right there, but the headaches have been bad since all of this. I've never experienced so much tension in my neck and shoulders EVER! It feels like theres a rubber band between both my shoulders and leading to my neck and someone is pulling it as hard as they can! Well, theres my story. Sorry it got long. You know, you worry about your children when they are young and you hope that they get through all of the hardships that they have to overcome. You look forward to the years when they grow older and are on their own cause you think, then they will "be on their own". But you know what? You still worry, and pray for them for all their hardships and life just gives them different hurdles to overcome. Oh heck, I still worry about my oldest and he's married and expecting his first born in June. Speaking of which, did I tell you all..its a boy!? Yeah, I'm one proud grandma. Anyway, I continue to pray for each of my children in different ways, dd that God gives her strength and courage to get through this period in her life, for my middle ds that he finds his way back to God and when he does he finds that THAT is where life begins, and for my oldest ds and his wife and their unborn son that God blesses them with health, guidance and love. My oldest has struggled with this but has never left God (he's a scholar in Theology). Thanks for letting me go on and on here. God be with you all and bless you for all your prayers and good thoughts.

Many many hugs, tweety
