I agree with everything Lilly said 110%. Please do NOT call the paper under ANY circumstances! The paper wants a story. A juicy, gossipy, detailed, eye-catching, story and they do NOT care how it makes Mike sound…. They want to sell a story and the juicier that story is, the more papers they sell.

I also have seen this first hand… Amber, I can’t remember if I told you about my arrest several years ago for peeing in the back of my drive way, while I was intoxicated after walking home from a neighbors party. A cop followed me over and asked me what I was doing. I was drunk and said "I was back there takin a piss, now I’m going inside." I was arrested for public intoxication (eventho I was on my own property), I was arrested for public indecency (eventho no one saw me pee in the back of my drive way behind my Jeep), and I was arrested for disorderly conduct. The next day the newspaper read "Half Naked Woman Faces 3 Charges", along with a story about how I was in my front yard with my pants off urinating on the grass and cussing and yelling at people down the street. IT WAS BEYOND HORRIBLE and NOT at all what happened.

I lost my job over that "story" in the paper because at the time I working at a bank and they didn’t want me working there any longer since my name was spread all over town in that way, they thought it would make them "look bad"… whatever. I filed for unemployment and got it, but it was just ridiculous the way they made me out to be. Don’t call the newspaper!

I also agree that God knows the truth. You just have to pray and pray some more. He has been my strength, my only strength and the only person I could talk to so many times… He will listen and He will give you more comfort than anyone else can in a time like this.

Stay strong, pray and talk to God, and let us know when you just need to talk or vent. We are here, all of us rooting for you and wishing you the best of luck.
