I am reaching out in hopes that someone may be able to offer insight, guidance, or perspective regarding my children and what the future may hold for them. My children currently live full-time with - question #17757

their father and stepmother. Several years ago, their father was awarded custody, and while I have done my best to accept the situation and make the most of the time I am given with them, it has been one of the most painful experiences of my life. Through it all, I have tried to remain grounded in love, faith, and integrity. I have always believed that the truth has a way of revealing itself in time and that what is done in the dark eventually comes to light. Lately, I have been carrying a growing sense of concern. My children have shared with me that they do not enjoy going back home and that they often feel unloved, unsupported, or emotionally disconnected in their living environment. As their mother, hearing those words is devastating. While I know children can experience difficult emotions for many reasons, the consistency of what they have expressed has left me deeply worried about their happiness and well-being.I have also heard concerns from others regarding how they are treated by their stepmother. In addition, there are spiritual concerns that I have struggled with privately for quite some time. I have been told that their stepmother practices black magic and engages in dark spiritual work. Whether those claims are true or not, I cannot say with certainty. However, I would be lying if I said I have not felt a strong sense that something feels off within the household. There are times when their father appears emotionally drained, detached, or unlike the person he once was, and it has left me questioning whether there are influences at play that I do not fully understand. Recently, I have felt a shift in energy surrounding this situation. It feels as though something that has remained hidden for a long time may be moving toward the surface. I find myself wondering if significant changes are ahead. I have questioned whether their father may eventually decide he no longer wants the responsibility of raising them full-time, whether circumstances may change within the household, or whether my children may one day have the opportunity to spend more time with me. Above all else, my concern is not about being right or proving anything. My concern is for my children. I want them to feel safe. I want them to feel loved, cherished, protected, and emotionally supported. I pray for them constantly and do everything I can to remind them that no matter the distance, their mother loves them deeply and will always be here for them. For those who feel drawn to offer intuitive, spiritual, or personal insight, I would be grateful for anything you feel regarding their path, their well-being, and what the coming months may hold. My children, from oldest to youngest, are: Cherish — October 3, 2011 Jerron — September 16, 2017 Brennin — January 1, 2020 Annalise — February 14, 2021 Their father is Ron — December 7, 1988. His wife is Jessica, though I do not know her birthdate. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Any guidance, prayers, positive thoughts, or insight would be greatly appreciated.
