I would like to make a public apology to the Darling family for my comments on this forum last night. While I stand by the veracity of any claims I made, how I went about it was uncalled for. My comments were insensitive and, at times, snarky, which only caused more pain for the Darlings in what is already a painful situation. For this I am truly sorry and humbly ask for your forgiveness.

I was never planning to post on this forum. I let my frustration get the better of me; I should have known better. When I set up the account, I didn't even think twice about the username, because it is one of my go-to names. Here again, I should have thought it through and seen how that would be like pouring salt on a wound. Again, I'm very sorry.

I have no plans to ever post on this forum again. For what it's worth, please know that I have been and will continue to pray for you, the Darling family. This whole situation grieves me. I do not hate your father. I do not hate any of you. I really only want the truth to come out so that the healing can begin for everyone.

Crushed, but hopeful.

Thank you for your humility Chris. It is all so sad, for so many people and I truly believe we are all fighting for the truth. Many prayers continue for everyone involved.

I forgive you Chris

Chris- this response was gracious and showed humility.  There are few positives that have come from all of this, but to see the apology and Jeromy's response of I FORGIVE YOU was good for my soul and hopefully was positive for other.  I will be praying for you and Barb with being in the middle of this. Please stay strong in Him.
