Changing seasons result in stronger roots

I am currently going through some very personal and difficult things right now in my personal life. It is making it very hard to not resort back to my eating habits and even harder to not have a huge regain.. My head says just eat the pain away..what difference does it make? I have come so far and to let this all be destroyed just to end the pain with food would be awful. This is my last week of school so on top of my husband not being here I now have 3 kids I must care for alone all while I now find a sitter on school nights and my internship is going to be starting as well. Have I made the right choice in allowing my husband to leave for the sake of protecting Princess C from going to a foster home? I feel like I am a horrible wife and mother by doing this to my kids but in my heart I know that this is best and it will all be over hopefully soon. \
This week for my final paper of my BA I must write about values and ethics..funny when i have not seen much of this mirrored ion my life by those close to be. I firmly believe God puts us where we need to be and allows us to grow. Well, I am growing mike a weed this week! I am having to look inward(not comfortable to say the least) and evaluate what is important to me and why.. why am i the way i am? how did i get here? 

A good friend of mine told me that this is all just a season.. that those who are coming against me are trying to be stumbling blocks but they will/are just stepping stones to elevate me. That makes me happy to think about.. i feel so defeated and deflated right now. i was not prepared for the things that would follow this lie being said. I thought i would be OK with the things that would follow but I'm not. I'm not OK..and that is OK. I don't know where to go form here.. so as i say good bye to my life a few months ago since there is no going back i ask for prayers . Prayers that all the lies will be seen through and that my husband can again come home . prayers that in court this is all sorted out and the judge will order custody to me. Prayers that at the least Princess C is not removed form my home. That would be devastating to not only me but to her as well. she has been through so much in her short little life... this is all so unfair to the kids that are being caught in the cross fire.
