Bad Apples

There are some other things going on in my life right now, and have been, that I have been choosing not to post publicly on. Just know that there are things "behind the scenes" that need continued prayer for as well. Familial things outside of immediate..... my own personal. Another side of family that I just haven't been able to "let in". I try so hard to avoid conflicts and the people who contribute to them. I have been working to protect my children from all of that for the past 12 years...... ultimately, the wolf has come knocking at the door.

I have a responsibility to keep my family,.. my children safe. I am not at liberty to disclose all the information about this right now in order to help those who might follow this, to understand. You may contact me in private for that. Some people might say, "blood is blood", well, no, it's not..... we are all unique individuals in life and "blood" has absolutely nothing to do with character. You can be a good person or not....... we all have a choice. Our actions speak volumes about us, and I am not about to let certain history repeat itself.

I look at this situation, as this particular part of my family, being a bushel of shiny, green apples. But, even apples get worms and those worms can chew at the core........ they destroy the health of the fruit & it rots. Leave one bad apple, and it will slowly harm the rest. I can't have rotten apples in my life.
