I am asking you all for prayers for my marriage. My husband is an alcoholic. Always has been. I love him dearly and cannot imagine my life without him. I don’t know where to turn anymore. I pray and pray and I feel like I only get answers for a little while, then back to the same. My husband says very mean things to me. Always tells me how I’ve been such a horrible wife, always says he wants a divorce, always says I’m not doing enough, and I’m an awful step mother to his troubled son. My husband stopped drinking since Christmas Eve but recently went back to it. He was hiding it and I asked him if he’s hiding it because he’s ashamed. He turned on me immediately, got up, left the room and has been sleeping in the other room for days now. He acts like he hates me so much. And two days ago I felt as if I just couldn’t take it anymore, I’m so depressed. I didn’t even go to church on Sunday, I almost feel like , why??? I know I’m wrong for that and I asked for forgiveness tonight, but I still have him being rude to me when he does speak to me. Please please pray for us. I love him, alcoholic or not, he’s my husband and I married him for better or for worse.

Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me Amen
