Bullies always win

We missed Ben's youth club yesterday, i had a dose of the runs, and was not sure it was on,as it was half-term week,the police woman rang and said they had spoken to the boys who attacked Ben at youth club, as usual Bullies get away with it, with no repercussions. So much for justice.
Pastor David Wilkerson's daily blog today was titled 'dirty feet', in essence he was talking about that part in Gods word where Jesus tells the disciples to wash each other feet, the implication being that their hands and hearts were clean,walking with Jesus every day, but their feet were not,so we should treat others sin with kindness,and we help them wash themselves,so of course this means that we have to forgive others if they sin against us, and help to encourage those who have sinned, my mind went of course to the whole thing with Andre,i know he has forgiven me completely,but maybe hard for him to trust me as a friend for a while.
Of course, when i think of forgiveness i am challenged with my attitude to the Ex, Howard,and have to examine my heart again for any unforgiveness which may have cropped up, its every day at the moment! having to repent of bad thoughts! towards him
No sign as yet of any change in him going to the church, as of course when i appealed to the throne room the Lord found in my favour, i really expected him to never return to the church, and stop visiting Mike, no such thing has happened,in fact he is now decorating the church!.. as usual i was expecting God to do what i wanted in my way, i don't know what to infer that God is doing now,
1, is it Gods will that he is around?
2, did i leave it too late to appeal, and it now has to run its course?
3, is this all a lesson for me to examine my unforgivesness daily?
4. do i have unforgiveness to others that is holding up God working in this?  (answers on a postcard please!).any comments would be very much appreciated....
