job well and is very critical of everything she does and yes I mean everything. This is a very professional office and she has to wear suits and interact with clients and the senior boss, just loves her and gives her excellant performance ratings at every review. To make a short story long, Ethan is very unhappy at home, he goes to bars afterwork every day with a junior associate and his life is just generally miserable. Please pray that God will give him peace, joy and love in his life. Turn his bitterness away from DD and help her to not take what he says personally, even when it is. I need a hedge of thorns prayed around my daughter and for Ethan to see God's love come through her actions. This is going to be a long term prayer effort, because I don't know what is going to happen when she delivers in November and takes a maternity leave. Thank you for your faithfullness. God loves you and so do I!

Dear Jerrilyn, I will pray for your daughter and Ethan and for the Lord to change his heart.

God is almighty and powerful and there is nothing he cannot do. We don't want any stress surrounding your daughter especially whilst she is pregnant.

There are so many of us on this site who are praying for a good outcome. We also need to surround you with prayer, knowing that you will need to be strong for them all.

Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."


Love and blessings Chris

MY daughter is in a similar situation. I worry about the stress on the baby. I wonder why some people are so hateful. Wish I could fly over and zap that Ethan. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Oh, GOOD!!! I know prayer works!! And that 'turn the other cheek' stuff, too. Jesus was a pretty good psychologist, actually. Really confuses people when they're mean to you, and you're not mean back, hee hee hee. Takes the wind out of their sails. Strength to DD, and finding a way to love himself for Ethan. Just plain unconditional love for you, always. M

Tell her to document everything. We have laws to protect people against workplace discrimination. Hopefully the situation will improve, but if it doesn't she should be prepared.

Jerrilyn, you have my support, as does your daughter, and poor miserable Ethan. It seems funny how miserable people love company, his own unhappiness was probably underlined for him by your DD's joy, and he's lashing out. I am SO sorry this is happening to your lovely daughter at a time when she should be just full of joy & wonder. I hope she can ignore his criticism, because it is truly criticism of himself, not of her. I do hope he comes to the point where he sees that no one can 'make' him happy, it is only within himself that he can find contentment, then share it with others. A prayer to open the eyes of Ethan's heart, that picture of Jesus you use giving the guy a hug, that's what Ethan needs. Poor, poor DD!! Now, you know, hee hee hee, if he upsets her too much she could accidentally have a bout of 'morning sickness' right on his little desk, hee hee hee. Oh, and I wonder why I get punished for stuff, hee hee hee. I suspect that would be far more effective than 'writing him up.' Hee hee hee, sorry, but it's a funny picture. Too much comedy channel lately, I guess. Not making light of the situation, I mean no offence. Love you, and know you will all be in my best thoughts and prayers. Love, Marji

Jerrilyn, our prayers will be lifted up for that hedge of protection around your daughter AND that Ethan will find God's peace in his life. Please tell you DD there are folks around the world praying for her situation and for her to rest in God's care. I know that baby she's carrying will be a special child.

I will say a prayer for both of them, and for you. It is very hard to sit by and watch this. She is lucky to have your support! They cannot let her go while she is on maternity leave because of the family and medical leave act. Does she work directly for him? Or can she try to avoid him? Also, perhaps she should document what is happening for future reference.

We prefer God to handle this as he is in turmoil in his life, however, I appreciate your suggestion and input.

I'm sorry, Now I feel bad, I hope you are not offended by my response. It just breaks my heart that she has to go through this when she is pregnant. This should be such a joyful time. I will pray that he finds God's love!
