I want to thank everyone here for their prayers in my previous threads. It has meant a lot to me to know people are praying.
Much of the full story is posted elsewhere, but it concerns divorce due to lies and infidelity, and an alcoholic family of origin who is now causing trouble with my kids. Here and elsewhere, the advice I’ve gotten unanimously is that there is nothing that can be done with an alcoholic family except put as much distance between yourself and them as possible.
I believe I was right to move back, to learn things I never could have from a distance, but I also am growing strong in my belief it’s time to move on. I have already broached it with my xh already and he also has no desire to stay in this state.
But packing up and moving a large family, de-cluttering and fixing up a house, selling in this market, saving enough to make the move and put a down payment on a house, and the whole issue of jobs, makes it seem almost impossible. Moreover, the place I would like to move for the best possible connections in my line of work is particularly expensive.
So I’m asking for prayers for peace in my family, among my children, prayers for a miracle that my alcoholic parents would stop the things they’re doing, and most especially prayers that God would open the way for us to move, so we can hopefully live in peace without this constant interference.
Thank you.
And I don’t get back here to post, but I do read other prayer request threads and pray for others, too.
