I was raised by an atheist father/deist mother. I became a “Jesus Freak” Christian at age 18. I have attended many types of churches, taken numerous Bible studies, studied Biblical history at Yale, Etc. I am a true seeker.
I feel Most at home at Catholic Mass.
However, I was married previously. This man (in our last 3 of 7 years of marriage) beat me, strangled me, put guns to my head & pulled the trigger. He had affairs. When I left (his mother & sister helped me) he always found me. He knew my good friends or he would drive around until he found my car (a white Mustang with red interior). He’d threated to kill me & my friends unless I came with him.
He also broke into my various apartments or talked his way into getting keys from my various landlords. He would be waiting inside when I got home from work, pointing a shotgun at me.
He rarely held down a job. When we were married, I was the main provider other than when he worked in sales for 3 years. His mother called him “an animal.”
Police were called numerous times (by me and by neighbors, including a neighbor’s son who had Down syndrome & had seen this man choking me on our balcony. The boy with Downs shouted “Don’t you hurt my friend!!!” His Mom called police. The officer who showed up–the evil husband by then had fled—told me how to set it up so it would look like my husband committed suicide, elaborate methods. He told me "This guy is going to kill you unless you kill him first. But I just could not do that.)
I ended up working at a Police Dept/Detective Unit. The Police would escort me to & from my car. Some police officers/detectives sheltered me in their homes to protect me from this evil man.
He stalked me for 17 years. I am now remarried.
I know that if you want to become Catholic, you have to get an annulment. But that would involve this man coming back into my life! I am terrified of him! Isn’t there a way to become Catholic without the annulment thing?
I am very devout. I pray all the time. My current husband is a very good man. We have been married for 34 years. Thank You
