and I feel like we lost the war, too.

We can appeal, which costs another 10 to 20 thousand that we don't have.

How will we be able to live like this for the next 10 years? Or at least until ds7 is old enough to be listened to by the court?

Paula,
There are just no words to cover the deep wound left by this! Just know that I hold you close in prayer asking Our Lord to bring you all peace! I will add some prayers to the Holy Spirit for discernment and wisdom about how to proceed!

Many, many and a few from down south!

Oh Paula, how incredibly disappointing

Many, many prayers have been lifted up from our home to yours and will continue to be. We will continue to pray for peace as you carry this very difficult cross.

And of course, I wish I was there to actually give you one but this is the best I can do for now

Dear Paula. I am so sorry to hear this is the outcome. I have been praying for your intentions at Mass every day. I wish there was something else we could do for you. You remain in my daily thoughts and prayers.
