    Girl, you walk into that court room like you own it💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻. Don’t let him see you sweat! The judge is going to find out what kind of a man he is by not taking care of his family. You got this! What would Gary advise you to do? Make Gary proud and be strong!! His family will understand you missing the service. ❤

      Yes, I was thinking the same as I watched 👍🙏🙏 If we all do a little the Lord will and can make it much for Tina🤗Tina I also am going to pray for you🙏 the kids deserve to live in their family home that they have lived in their entire life. They don’t deserve any of the burden. They should be able to just focus on being kids and having a great childhood, which is what she is trying to do for them. So, I am also in if someone could let me know the when, where, and what. God Bless Everyone!

    Hi Tina, I was so touched by your candidness! I know you are under great stress right now. I never told you this but I feel compelled to share with you that I found you on TH-cam right after I lost my beloved husband of 39 years to Covid-19. I instantly fell in love with your British accent (I live in USA) and your conversational style and your creativity. There were very many days when I did not want to go on living without my husband, and for the life of me I didn’t know how I would possibly get through the day! The only thing I could think to do was to put on your videos and watch them one after another after another, because your voice and your cheerful demeanor relieved my horrible anxiety. So - we, your viewers, owe you a massive THANK YOU! May God be with you tomorrow! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

    So sorry on the loss of your dear friend and the stress of an unnecessarily hurtful divorce. I divorced a narcissistic nightmare, many years ago, with less than $10 in quarters to my name and two disabled children. The three of us survived for the better. I hope the universe will help your family through this awful stressful time, and get you all into a position of peaceful and supported space. I agree with previous commentary, your home is where you are. Hugs from across the pond.

      Oh Tina...I saw this & feel so saddened about your heartbreaking situation hun .. I also wanted to give you my sincere condolences to you, for the loss of Yr friend Gary too. 😢 Going through a divorce is undoubtedly taking its toll on you too & I also wanted to say your ex husband (instead of trying to assist you, by doing the 'right thing ' by you financially) has shown just how incapable he is of any communications or empathy at all, for what undoubtedly is currently, a traumatic time for you. My heart cries out to you hun & I (& no doubt all your followers too) wish you, that extra strength & tenacity, to get through tomorrow . I sincerely hope also, that ALL others present at court , will see the truth, in your genuine situational (& vulnerability) & show everyone just how unreasonably callous , cruel & vindictive your EX is coming across too. HE should be , legally forced to pay you ALL he owes you & to grant you the 'means' to reduce your mortgage. You should not be the victim & I pray he will be made responsible! xxxx 😢❤

    As someone who went through something very similar many years ago, I can assure you that this too shall pass. Uncharitably, I used to say (to myself) that with any luck, he would pass too. (And when he did, much later, I cried.) Your children’s home is wherever you are, and your home will be wherever you land after this massive shakeup. These things I KNOW to be true. And after saying all the positive things, I will also say that I am so sorry this is happening to you. Now to find the “thank you” button.

    I love the idea of gifting through Buy Me a Coffee so Tina gets all the $$!! I have always appreciated her devotion to daily videos and her digital kits are SO reasonable!!! Unfortunately, I have heard that Etsy keeps taking a larger and larger percentage. Another way we can help is to watch her videos to the end, like the videos and even let the ads play out. It will help her algorithms and increase what she gets from TH-cam.

    Tina, my heart is breaking for you. You’re showing so much courage in the face of difficult circumstances. Gary understands and know’s what you’re going through more than anyone else. FEEL HIS STRENGTH and know that he is still somehow with you. Keep your faith and please know that you needn’t be ashamed. I, too, went through a difficult divorce and ended up with a jumble of feelings and not knowing what the future held or how I would EVER get through it. But, I did and so will you. This isn’t meant to be harsh, but know that this, too, shall pass. Try not to worry about the future, as every day will take care of itself. Please know that there are many of us out here who are your cheerleaders who care. Your sweet dog will be there to lick your tears and see you through . . . The rest of us will pray.

    You do not have to apologize for not being able to put up a video, especially given the circumstances. Your mental health and family business must of course come first! Know that all of us here support you and care about you; the fear and stress are written all over your face, and we all want to just reach out and hug you! Life is hard for you right now, which is awful, and no amount of platitudes can make it easier. BUT- while we can see the anxiety, we can also see the strength inside you, we can see what a true lady you are, and that all you want is to take care of your kids. I cannot help but think any judge on the planet will be able to see these things also. I hope that venting here helped you some. My last bit of advice, for what its worth, is that going to court could be the best thing ever, since your lack of financial support from your ex will now be made public, so to speak, and hopefully things will backfire on him, forcing him to begin handling his responsibilities towards the children.

You sound like such a gentle, nurturing soul. They are fortunate to have such a good mom. 2. Gary understands and loves you. 3. You have taught me how to laugh at mistakes and collage over them. That touches my heart, and I know that other crafters experience your kindness like I do. 4. Pray. Nothing is too big for God. I will keep you in my prayers, especially tomorrow. 5. I’m not familiar with British law, but I am praying that you will have a fair, honest, thoughtful judge who can clearly see your situation. Finally, one step at a time. Continue to be the good person you are. Much love and admiration.

    You’re such a vibrant person, Tina.
    A good walk is a terrific stress reliever, especially when you can have your kids and dog join you!
    Feel the sun on your face and there will be a sense of calm, hold your head high.
    Find your confidence and strength to face tomorrow.
    Gary, your guardian angel, will always be with you! God bless your family❤

    There is nothing that any of us can say that is going to make you feel less fearful about going to court. Let me just tell you that my ex-husband took me to court six times. He lost every one of those times, but each time was nerve-racking and painful. You will get through it. Regarding Gary‘s funeral, of course, you want to be there, but your letter to Gary‘s mother is going to mean so much more to her than your attending his funeral. She is going to have something that she can look at, and hold, read, and reread, and that is going to mean everything to her.

    • @nightowl5395

      Lovely message and I am sure you are right about the letter being more meaningful and lasting for Gary's mum....when everything on the day just seems unreal and you are rarely aware of who is there and who isn't, a heartfelt letter will give her much comfort 💜

    As someone who’s been through this, I have to tell you there IS life (goooood life) after divorce. Right now, looking forward and around at what’s happening it looks and feels like trying to leap across the Grand Canyon…
    Looking at it AFTERward it will seem like a crack in the sidewalk.
    Millions of us have gone through it…you too will come through it stronger and more independent which is a beautiful thing 🌺

You are highly respected in the crafting community, so keep that chin up, help is on its way. We are in this together. Soon, things will look brighter for your children and you. May God Bless and keep you strong. Your friend that passed knows the struggle you are going thru and understands why you can’t be there at his funeral tmrw. Gary is with you in spirit, and always will be.

    Tina, I hear how fearful and worried you are. Fear of the unknown can cause a lot of anxiety. You are doing the very best you can, and that is all that is required of you. If you are a person of faith, put your burdens at his feet. You are stronger than you know. You have a lot of courage and are well able to go through this situation. It is so hard. My heart hurts for you and you are right trouble shared is halved, joy shared is doubled. I am going to pray over your situation. Sending you much love and peace, which passes all understanding. Sweet Boe will give you lots of warm cuddles along the way.

    Dearest Tina, my heart hurts for all you are going through. I too went through a divorce in my 40’s after a long term marriage and can relate to a lot of what you are going through. It’s okay for you to share, be afraid, cry, be upset, feel betrayed, and all of the things. Just remember, you are a strong, talented, capable, accomplished, beautiful woman. You will get through this and come out on the other side feeling more confident than ever. In the meantime, I will be praying for you and cheering you on!! 🙏🏻❤️💪🏼👏🏼

      Ah my dear, you are not alone. How sad you have to juggle all this at the same time. Your friend knows and understands, I believe that.
      My mortgage payment and flood insurance have gone up almost $600.00 / month in the last year. I am also divorced, but ex is not in the picture. I too am probably going to,have to sell the house because it is becoming unaffordable as a senior citizen.
      Just know this too shall pass, and I hope things look brighter. The world is a crazy place for so many now. But perspective tells me we shall be ok. God bless.

      Hi, Tina, I've been where you are many, many years ago. My ex continued the harassment for years. I walked away from the house. Took my kids and my car and left. The mortgage company went after him because they weren't going to squeeze anything out of me.
      He's only doing this to hurt you. Mine tried to take my kids. Thank God that didn't work.
      Wish I could contribute more, but realize YOU WILL BE OK. It may take time. And I am so sorry about the loss of your friend. Love and hugs to you.
      It is scary!

    You WILL get through this, even though it may seem so insurmountable right now.❤20 years ago I was in a similar situation as yours and wondered how I would ever get through it and more importantly, how my children would fare. We survived and have eventually thrived. And you will too. Sadly, there is no friendship between my ex and I. When you cannot trust someone, there is no basis for a friendship. But life is good. And you WILL come through. Sending all my strongest thoughts for you for your day in court. Your friend will be watching over you.
