I reported in another prayer request that in the beginning I may have set out to use my husband, and that I felt guilty and ashamed about that and other behavior pertaining to that time, 20 years ago. It is also true that he turned around and used me, getting me pregnant deliberately (he took advantage of a “spell” such as I had then to get me to start having sex with him when I was just in the process of deciding not to do that) and then married me for the work permit (as he had already failed at 5 jobs and couldn’t get another special visa–he is Canadian) and argued with me on the night we went back home from the judge’s to our empty apartment about indecent matters. He made it clear that he didn’t want me and yet wouldn’t let me go. He ordered me to, but wouldn’t let me. He was controlling and abusive. I felt so low about myself because of my condition. I had been in a state hospital and had been sexually damaged by a catheter during an overdose attempt and subsequently received disability pay. I didn’t realize how much I brought to the marriage–a wealth of information about the US, my disability pension, some apartment furnishings, a good car. He was in the breakdown lane. I got pregnant twice and had two abortions. He influenced me to do so in ways I didn’t understand at the time. He was already responsible for two other abortions.
We are divorcing. He is trying to get out of it for free. He is lying and manipulating me and my son, who dotes on him out of desperation. He threatened to kill him last night, and to pull him out of the Catholic school he attends. He stated his intent to place a phone call there this morning and have him escorted off campus. Please pray.
