1. That IsabellaLinton has a big heart.
2. My XH is soooo kind!
The kids broke my computer last week, and today my brother came to drop it off to be fixed (since I'm not going to risk it-- i did give him a mask). The people said it will take minimum 2 weeks before I get my laptop back, fixed. I called XH and told him so, and asked him if his work could lend him a laptop and if he would lend it to me for this time , so I can study when kids are with him 4 nights a week.
He said, 'I was thinking about that yesterday.'
And when I dropped them off, he placed his laptop in my car!
I hope his good deeds from things like this add up and as long as he doesn't do anything horrible later on, all the mean things he did are forgiven (which I usually do, anyway)--as well, I pray for every good thing for him in this life and the next.
3. I watched a youtube video about an ex-gang member (a girl who btw is extraordinarily pretty), and her life was pretty sad.
Getting involved in a gang in school, she ended up in a big mess later on (e.g. drug addiction, abusive criminal partner, etc).
She lost her kids (but her mom looks after them, and she sees them regularly).
An organization exists called Homeboy, which she discovered after a long struggle trying to get a job and have a stable life (she wants to save up to have a house, and regain custody of her children).
This organization helps ex-gang members get out of that lifestyle and get employment.
I was surprised that life can turn out like that for someone, yet she still has the guts to continue. She did mention occasionally thinking about suicide, but she is strong for continuing.
I was impressed that she owns up and takes full responsibility. She doesn't shift blame onto anyone. If I were in her situation, I wouldn't be like that.
