85 ~ Caught In The Middle

By Kay Heitsch

At first, I didn't know all that was going on. I did know this child had been taken to another country without her father's consent. I also knew I seemed to be caught in the middle.

I was getting phone calls from both Mom and Dad several times a day. This situation was over my head.

Finally, I found out Mom had accused Dad of Feticide. This would be the first case charged in our county. If convicted, this would be a lengthy prison sentence.

I wasn't sure how to cope mentally and emotionally.

So I decided to go on a fast and pray. I didn't eat any food for 7 days. I did drink. I kept praying the Lord's will would be done.

The church I was attending at the time had made a small prayer room made from an unused closet. I would go over to the prayer room where I could be alone, without the phone or doorbell ringing.

Mom had returned to the United States but did not bring the child back with her. A lot was involved in having the child returned.

Now I needed to find a new job.

The phone and doorbell kept ringing.
