Prayers needed please
Over the weekend, my AH and I got into a fight. I got arrested (??). He took off with my 19 mo. old daughter and left town.
Today I got an emergency custody order and tomorrow I have to try and find him with the local sheriff and get her back.
Please pray for our safe travel and for a peaceful exchange of my child. I am scared. He is desperate. I've turned over all the "goods" on him and disclosed all his IV drug use to social services, attorneys, judges and law enforcement. I can no longer cover for him or make excuses for him. He cannot be in active addiction and have our baby so he will probably get taken down.
My car is scheduled to be repossed any minute. I'm hiding it in the garage. He made a payment and now has renigged on that payment. I'm just short of losing my home and potentially my job and daycare if I don't find the gold at the end of the rainbow soon. All not as important as having my family together and safe but somewhat critical to our well-being nonetheless.
There is much power here and although my feet are firmly planted in faith (thank you Nytepassion) I am reaching out anyway for prayers of peace, prayers of safety, prayers of a nonconfrontational physical custody exchange.
Thank you. I will keep you posted when I return. God bless all of you.:praying

Prayers that this works out safely for your little one.... I've been through this sort of thing, and it did work out. But I understand the absolute fear you are feeling.
Things are just things. I hung in on a bad marriage for far too long in order to "save the house". You know what? I was able to get another one later anyway! All that pain - for nothing!
Please be well. ((hugs))

Prayers and good wishes for you and that baby. I know how upset and down you must be, all those kind things you do for others, and how often you have encouraged me will surely not go unrepaid. You are such a special person. I pray for you, and will be thinking of you

Update
We got her back!!! Praise the Lord! It was ugly for sure! He never expected it and was livid that a judge would grant temporary custody to a psycho like me because I needed to be involuntarily committed and I'm a terrible parent, blah, blah, blah.
The sheriff's department told me to find somewhere else to stay until the hearing on Monday but....where? Working on that. Home tonight with both kids safely tucked away and I'm pure exhausted.
Thank you all for your prayers - they really work! Not only that, but without the friendships I have made here, I would still be getting snowed by this addict ******* instead of getting on with my life - so thank you again (big time)!!!!

So glad you and she are safe and together. I know what you mean about the friendships here.....I never realized I could care so much about people I've never met in person, but I can!
Stay safe and keep us posted.
Hugs and prayers!
