Hey puter..
wish I could say out of the mouth of babes was as enlightening as your experience...then it would not burn in my memory and stick as a thorn like it does. About a year before I left my first husband...my children and myself were on our way back home after a two week dismissal of absence due to an outrageous cowardly act on the part of my ex..( wont go into detail ) as we were working through the present issue in hopes for some kind of positive resolve..my daughter spoke up and said..

Why do you keep going back to him...he just keeps doing the same thing over and over to you..

WOW..that cut me like a knife...she was 7...man cant tell you what that did to me.

Needless to say,..I set a short term goal up to see if I had covered everything possible to make sure the marriage would survive before I truly and once and for all made my exit...with-in 6 months its was inevitable..thus the departure was activated..sometimes the Lord works in mysterious ways..for mothers it can surely come through the thoughts of a child because of the natural bonding between the child and their mother..
