Beloved of All
Please pray that I can be still & hear God's voice so that I will know his will. I have posted here before that I learned my husband of only 4 months has become a meth user. He's broke me financially and emotionally. I have a 10-year old that lost her dad 2 years ago. My husband, when he's straight, treats us both like a princess. I love him and believe that there is nothing to big for God. However, my husband left home last Sunday because he said I control everything (he doesn't work and I'm retired, getting paid only once a month - he will take every last penny, including grocery money). He left home Sunday, walked away with none of his clothes or tools (yes, he has left before and always takes them). Yesterday he called wanting me to take my daughter out of school, drive 2 hours to meet him and give him money for drugs. I refused. He threatened a divorce. Today he called & said that I don't know how to be a wife, that I have to control everything. I said I wasn't going to argue but was trying to be a good mom. He said, "Well, that's the role you need to play." And hung up the phone. My family says I need to divorce him because he is not making any contribution to our marriage and it will only get worse. I read up on meth last night & learned it's one of the worst drugs & the hardest to quit. And I've read that you cannot hate your husband for the additction because it's the devils work, not your husband. Also read what God says about divorce. I do love this man with all my heart. He knows the Bible better than anyone I know. When he is not using, he is a good man. He is 38 years old. I will be 49 Sunday. Quite frankly, I've never been around anything like this and am tired of being told how bad of a wife I am because I won't let him use all my money (which working as a public servant my whole career, it really isn't much of a retirement fund). I have faith in God and believe in things I cannot see. I know God can turn this situation around. I struggle with asking myself, "Am I testing God by asking him to give me a sign of what to do?" I'm trying to be still and let God move. But I don't know if that is what God wants me to do. Or if he is telling me to walk away from a "tree that is bearing no fruit." My heart hurts. And I have no idea if it's my voice I'm hearing. Or is it God's. Please pray so that I will do what is pleasing to God. And in no way manipulate the situation. I want to honor God by being a good wife. But my husband seems to think if I'm not enabling him and giving him free reign of our money, that I'm a bad wife. Thank you for your prayers. And God bless you all! I
