Thank you for any prayers for my family. It’s been a year since things started spiraling out of control, Last October there was an allegation that cost my husband his job. That led to another job away from that state but his drinking continued, He lost that job, We moved closer to family in the hopes things would get better but things got worse. He got two DUIs in that state which he paid an attorney to get cleared for him then he got another DUI here which they found out about up there, The D/A there wants to prosecute him for a felony now, This on the steps of him accepting a job that would take him away from here. My husband is in denial, he wants to just cover this all up and move on!! I can’t accept this anymore and I can’t take the drinking anymore, He’s not even been truthful with his counselor. We have three kids who have literally been robbed of their childhoods because of all this and we’ve been in limbo and in transition for this last year, We are basically borrowing space at my dad’s house. I’ve had to return to work and my hours are not family friendly, Our daughter was diagnosed a terminal condition, t1d in the middle of all of this too. I am going crazy and I beg God for a sign or a message in this. I don’t know if it’s wise to just let this all go and proceed with separation or/and divorce or is this worth fighting for. God help me, thank you for reading and God bless.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Yours is a sad story but not an uncommon one, sadly. You need to be guided by a professional who has experience counseling alcoholics and their families so that you do not enable in any way.

Pray for your husband that he can find sobriety.
 
He is an alcoholic most likely. AA can help him. It helped me. It also helped lead me back to the Lord. Our great and merciful God can work through many things. Encourage him to go. This truly is a disease. I used to think heavy drinkers could pick themselves up by their bootstraps. Not so. I will pray for him. If I can help, please do not hesitate to message me. You and your children can be helped through Ala-non. There they can show you how this is a disease and how to care for him. It’s easier than you think and there’s no shame. However, he must choose to get help. I will pray for you, your children and your husband.
 
Prayers said for this struggling family. I pray the husband will get help with alcohol problems and the family will join Al Anon. Prayers for the children that God will help them through this difficult time. Prayers for daughter diagnosed with terminal cancer. May the God of all comfort be with this family, send assistance for problems and don’t forget God knows and cares.
I hope things improve quickly and I’m sorry to hear about your daughter.
Mary.

Lord, grant this family much grace and fortitude, that they might value the sacrament of matrimony, that they cultivate courage, faith, hope, love, and joy. Remind them that what you want of Christian souls is to love God and to love neighbor. Instill in them persistence in loving each other, even when others do not seem to return that love. Lift this family on wings of light from heaven, that they might see a foretaste of heavenly joy. Lead them out of this mire toward the eternal garden where no suffering or tears are shed. Touch the ill daughter, and free her of all afflictions physical or spiritual in accord with the Father’s merciful will. Hear our cries from the depths of this temporal exile. Help us for we are powerless without your assistance. Have mercy, Lord. Our Lady, angels, and saints, pray with us. Amen.

Father God I pray that threelives’s husband would be delivered from his addiction to alcohol and self-sabotaging behaviors. Please provide for threelives’s financial & housing needs. And please let her children always remember the good times of their childhood. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
 
I too am a grieving wife of an alcoholic husband. We attend church regularly and have started RCIA to have the whole family baptized. My husband is baptized but has not been confirmed. Anyways my husband has taking up drinking heavy and sometimes to the point where he hasn’t even slept because he is so sick but he will get up grab the keys and off to work he goes. I have tried to bring up that he is an alcoholic and that our children do not need to see this. I ask him to stop and I get “Don;t worry about what I do” and “I never wanted a nagging wife.” I don’t want to see him in prison, I don’t want his daughter to be shipped off to a mother that does not want her(my husband has custody), I don’t want to see him died or have killed someone. If I take his keys he screams and yells in front of the kids calling me childish. Everything that is wrong with our marriage is my fault. Tere has been no reasoning with him. He says I need guy time(his friend is an alcoholic too). I have taking the first steps to ask for help, his parents, our church and I have a list of groups that can help. My husband found God again when he was locked up for 2 years, he got out in 2008. He moved in with me because him and his daughter didnt have a place to go and I had the room. He’s the one that started our relationship, he asked me to marry him, hes the one that wanted to move. Mind you this was all before his addiction came back into play recently. My husband is a fixer he trys to lead everyone to the church and help them get right again but he doesn’t take his one advice. I am just lost right now and our child and myself are suffering. I will not divorce my husband I have already made that clear to him. His alcohol is taking him over and I’m afraid that he might actaully kill himself if he continues.
 
Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, amen.
 
Praying that the Lord may strengthen you and your family and that He may enable your husband to be honest with himself and accept help.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
