I've Given Up

[profms]

I am giving up hope - it's been 4 months, and my husband refuses to come home - barely even calls. He is totally taken over by his addictions, and it is heartbreaking. I cry all the time and can't move on with my life. We have been married for over 20 years - and he says he loves me but doesn't know if he is 'in love' with me. He started drinking again, and smoking pot too. He is a recovering alcoholic - so I dont know if he is talking from the heart, or if it is the drugs/alcohol. We have a beautiful 13 year old boy together, and this is destroying me and therefore my son too. My husband has been suspended twice from his job since he moved out, and my son refuses to even speak to him as this is the second time he has abandoned his family. I have prayed and prayed, and nothing seems to make a difference. I have given up hope - and my will to live is weak. Please pray that I find the strength to go on - I still love him very much and barely leave my home. I feel as if my heart will never recover from this and I am only 45 years old. I so wanted to share my life and love with him - why does a man just pack up and leave and turn into this other person who I don't recognize almost overnight? Thanks for listening.

Lord I pray that You wrap Your loving strong arms around her. Give her peace that passes all understanding. God hears your crys and He counts your tears. Your husband may have to go to the pit before he sees God's beautiful light. It is in the pit that God can show Himself strong and do His mightiest work on behalf of this person. Lay all this at the foot of His cross. Keep your eyes on Him and not on this situation. You have a 13 year old boy that needs you, so you have plenty to live for. Lord I ask that You take over this situation and send salvation to her husband. Lord please give her strength to stand in all this. I ask this in your name Jesus. AMEN!

Your husband also sounds like he is hopeless and has given up on life to drink and go back into addictions...there is more too it and if he says he loves you he is in love with you just sick of it...life...he feels crushed hopeless...is he a believer? reach out in love and understanding like if you just met him and started to talk...what would you say..it would not be about you it would be trying to help him....pray you know what I mean...through sickness and health...he does not need pressure he needs unconditional love...even though he is acting the fool he is being attacked...a good women rises early to pray for her house...continue to believe and be his "help" mate...I am sure your feelings are in a turmoil themselves but someone has to work toward working it out...key word is he still loves you PERIOD...fight for your marriage put on the armor and believe that God can and will do above and beyond all you could ever hope IF you live in obedience and love for HIM....Do you want to fight...it is a mindset..not desperate..God can not act on that...only believe that God's plan is what is before you no matter which way it goes...God bless and my prayers are with you

he has most definitely given up on life - and I have tried to pull him back to our home (he moved away) - and the more that I did this, the more angry he became and started to throw all kinds of guilt my way - blaming me for everything. It was making me so upset - I started to think I did everything wrong. I've been told that addicts do this - they blame everyone but the self for their problems. He filed for divorce in anger, and has done nothing since - but I'm afraid I'll upset him more and he will - he has no money, and rents a room with 3-4 other men. He is barely home though - and I don't know where he is spending his time. I've tried to call him, and he barely calls back or simply hangs up on me. It seems as if I am the cause of all his problems (in his mind). I would like to fight for us, but I really don't know how other than to pray. I know that God wants us to take action as well - but I don't know which way to turn. Perhaps I should pray for direction?
