Prayer Card

Please pray for the weekend visit between Matt and Matthew Jr. here at our home. Matt gets mad now EVERY TIME because Marie contacts me first about drop offs, pick ups, health issues and other goings on with my grandson. This is partially because it all shifted to me to keep the visits and relationships friendly and smooth during the time Matt Sr. was in jail for 6 weeks. Matt was happy about that then. Now, he feels like she and I are in control of it, with the intent to keep Matt on the sidelines or secondary contact. He's so angry right now. I woke him up from a nap to remind him about Matthew coming. He started being beligerant about why Marie hadn't called or texted him yet. Saying he might as well be gone entirely since she and I 'have it all figured out' without him. I think in part she sometimes would rather it be me doing drop off or pickup because Matt has never moved on from his love for her and loss of that. He says "Marie and I were talking 'just fine' for a while and then she stopped out of nowhere" It wasn't out of nowhere though. She has a boyfriend who probably believes she shouldn't be 'friends' or have any sort of communication with her ex (Matt), and that any conversations should be strictly 'business' in regard to the child. My son has made me feel like absolute garbage today. What am I supposed to do? I'm doing my best to keep things running smoothly, and it's very very very difficult. It's always been that way with Marie. I'm shocked we've come this far! Now Matt is so angry at me and my feelings are hurt. Please pray he will understand how much work I've put into the situation. He wouldn't even be allowed by her to see his son if he was held accountable to her for all of the horrific things he's said and done that traumatized both of them. He's trying to demand I drive into town to pick up little Matthew. Please Lord help us sort this out.
