My dearest and most precious Shosh and Jaialai:
It always seems like things cannot get worse and they always find a way. We have been tested these past nearly 9 years and continue to be tested each day. The one constant has been our refusal to give up despite overwhelming odds. In time, we will prevail as those who operate with depraved hearts and who pursue destructive ends seek the cover of darkness to do their dirty deeds and fear most the light of public exposure.
I ask for your continued patience. If Britney Spears, with her star power and millions of dollars, was forced to endure 13 years of an abusive conservatorship as she struggled to be heard by the court overseeing the relationship, how much harder must it be for us, who are nothing special? But she ultimately prevailed and so shall we.
Stay positive! It is hard work, but well worth the efforts.
The reality is staying positive is much better than the alternative. Focusing on the negative and the obstacles will only wear you down and wear down your resolve. Negativity is vampiric: it will suck dry your energy reserves. Don’t give in to the self-indulgent temptation to be negative. Some problems cause more harm from rumination and are best walled off to drain it of its negative energies in order to give yourself time to mount a successful resolution.
Hang in there my precious sons. Things will get better!
Until then, stay safe. Stay healthy.
All my love, always and forever,
Dad
