Disciple of Prayer
Please join me in praying for a better relationship with both my daughter's father and my husband. They both want to punish me and ridicule me. My daughter's father blames me for his choices. He is very disrespectful to me and does not take full responsibility as a parent should. Our lack of a co-parenting relationship is hurting our daughter. My husband has abandoned his responsibilities as a husband and a father. My 2 year old does not know his father at all. My children and I live in the UAE. My husband moved here with my daughter and me 3 weeks after we married. He stayed for 12 days and never returned. I was pregnant when he left. His mother gave him money to purchase his ticket, He went back to the States and talked very badly about me. He told people I wasn't pregnant and that I was trying to make him stay with us. I had a very hard pregnancy. I had 3 kidney surgeries and suffered from very large fibroid tumors. I was always in the hospital; so, my daughter was always staying with someone. I filed for child support and when he went to court, he asked for a DNA test. In the State of GA, if a father asks for a DNA test, that stops the process. A test was scheduled,but because I live out of the country, I can't make the appointment. The case was thrown out. His family encourages him in his wrong. They are also very mean to me. I came home this past July our he spent less than 4 hours with our son over a course of 5 weeks. He was angry with me so he wouldn't see our son. I tried to file for child support again. I was told if I file again, he was going to do the same thing, which is how a lot of the fathers who don't want to pay slow down theprocess. Now my only option is to get a divorce, which I want anyway, and he will be forced to make regular payments. Money is tight right now and the $1,700 that it will cost seems so far away. I try to reason with my husband, but his response is to call me names and tell me how I ruined his day. He has done so much to is me. I am so tired of his verbal abuse. I couldn't get my son's birth certificate after he was born because my husband refused to come and sign for it. I offered to pay for his flight and hotel stay, but he still refused to come. Therefore I couldn't get my son's passport, We couldn't leave the country until I spent thousands to go around needing my husband's permission. I feel trapped in this marriage to a monster. He has done so many things to hurt me intentionally. I thank GOD for keeping me afloat. I just need to be released from this situation. I am trying hard not to hate my husband, but this is becoming too difficult as he continues to play games with my son and me. He will call every now and then and will say things he thinks I want to hear. I keep stressing that we are over and that I only want him to take care of our son. He always says he loves us; when he calls, but if I call him, he ridicules me and is just mean. I am trying to do the right thing, but I have kind of lost my direction. I just want to be free from this bondage. It is Christmas and it hurts that he has not tried to reach out to our son at all. FATHER, please give me a way out.
