Dear ibelieve 4ever, I am glad that you have a level head about your Dad. I have the same problem with my Dad, as he too is worried that my husband will hurt me again! I will lift your Dad up in prayer, as it is difficult to have everyone coming at you with how they would like your life to go. I will pray that Shane, and your Dad's relationship begin to heal! You are in my thoughts, and prayers.

***Things are going good between my husband, and I. We are still talking, and working out our problem's. I have told him, I will not move to the State he's in, until we have addressed how we are going to handle things in the furture. He really is listening to what I am saying, but listening and saying you will do things differently, is very different from actually making the necessary changes! Also, in the past if he did not get his way he would either refuse to talk about it, do whatever he wanted (regardless if it hurt me or not), And sometimes was just plain mean about things. There was no physical abuse, but there was emotional abuse. My husband has a lot of chips on his shoulder's from past experiences. These have affected our marriage. He sometimes would justify doing wrong, by making up off the wall excuses about what he said that I had done, and that was why he was doing something or saying something etc.

***Pray that the Lord has his will in this marriage. I do not want prayer that I get back with him no matter what. If he is going to keep walking out, everytime something doesnl't go his way, then I pray that he just leaves me alone. The Bible says that if an "Unbeliever leaves, let him go". I cannot allow my husband to tear me down, and take adv. of me anymore!!!

***Please keep praying for me. Going to another state, to be with him, is scary. Please continue praying for God's will in my life. As I do not want to get back with him if he is not going to live a christian life, and is not going to strive to stay close to the Lord from here on out. Pray that the Holy Spirit inhabits him, and that he begins to show the signs of this happening. Thanks for all your prayers! You will continue to be in mine!!!
