Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

  8. I miss my son John. I was given temporary custody of my son, and i kindly informed my ex, and she moved away. I wasn't comfortable in the way i was going to pick up my son. I was not to tell her and show up with police escort. I thought of my son's well being. He's only 2. I didn't want him to see and hear the horror that would've caused. My attorney is angry that i informed my ex. But, i can't let my son go through that. I love my son. I feel like a failure. I thought by me informing her was a kind thing to do, but now i feel foolish. I just wish there was another way that wouldn't be traumatic for my son. My ex seems to be able to keep my son from me and defy all court instructions, and not held accountable. And me, i tell her what the out come of the hearing was, and i get yelled at. I am disabled and live on a fixed income. U can't afford another attorney. I am so tired of this. This has been going on for over a year now, and I'm tired. I used to see my son everyday, since the time he was born until October 29, 2014, when my ex move 4 hours away . i never abused or neglected her. I want to be her friend for our child's sake. But she makes it so hard now. I forgave her, but she continues to defy what the court says. Please pray for me. But please pray for the safety of my son John, and for his mother too. Thank you.
