You mean like on disability leave? If I did that (if my doctor agreed it was necessary) then I’d still be responsible for paying my portion of the health insurance, which is like $165/week (to cover DH and DD – my company pays 100% of the part that covers me). Disability is $170/week, so it’s just not possible.

I can’t reduce my hours because they need me full-time, nor could I afford the pay cut.

The sad thing is I could do this job from home (maybe come in to the office once a week or something to get new materials), but they won’t let me. 😦
 
Belle, do you work in the mortgage business? I do, and it sure sounds familiar! 😉
 
Oh, I see. 🙂 I will keep praying that our husband’s find work, and in the meantime, may we keep hope that our situations will work out the best for our families.
Lana, thanks for your prayers! You are in mine also!

:gopray2: ❤️
 
A beautiful thought Monica…thank you…

Bell darling…they won’t let me…this means you have already asked? Have you tried to negotiate a trial with them. It might be worth the risk maybe…or is it a done dropped deal?

Mom4truth,

Thank you for your blessings.

I see nothing but a bottemless black hole in my wife. There seems to be nothing good left in her. She seems to be the Lamb’s Wife now. Would you believe that her lawyer’s name is “Lamb”? I don’t understand what happened to her and what makes her do what she does or how she can live with herself.

She still will not speak to me, although she called my number yesterday but did not leave a message. I’d like to think that is a sign that she wants to talk, but I think she was just more upset than ever because the judge ruled against her and her sins in most areas yesterday.
Dear Half,

I will pray that Our Lord will turn things around for you, if it is His will. I’m so sorry to hear what you are going through. Many prayers are being said for you. Please keep us updated. God bless you and take care of you!

**PRAYER TO ST. MONICA

Dear St. Monica,
troubled wife and mother,
many sorrows pierced your heart during your lifetime.
Yet, you never despaired or lost faith.
With confidence, persistence, and profound faith,
you prayed daily for the conversion
of your beloved husband, Patricius,
and your beloved son, Augustine;
your prayers were answered.
Grant me that same fortitude, patience,
and trust in the Lord.
Intercede for me, dear St. Monica,
that God may favorably hear my plea for

the conversion of my husband, healing and salvation of our marriage, and the strong faith of our son, the conversion of all sinners in our families and of the spouses being prayed for here by CAF members,**

and grant me the grace to accept His Will in all things,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever.

Amen.

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us now and at the hour of our death.

Dear Half…i am sorry that it is so painful to see someone you care about fall so far from grace. When that far from grace, it is dearly hard to see the good in anyone keeping them from their goal. Unfortunately you do not have the same goals. You are being truthful, and are doing the best you can for your marriage. If she still can not see this, and walks, there is nothing you can do about it. Once put like this…you can lead a horse to water, but you can not force him to drink.

I definitely see the irony in the lawyers name, and can re name him for you as THE LOST LAMB, if it pleases your senses.

I will pray for you still…and i am glad the judge seen the situation as honestly as he could, and did not agree with her fully. I can see her being quite upset at this, and maybe this was the reason for the call. However, be careful she is not trying to tape you saying something…mine did that.

Better advice, do not be quick to answer…let her leave a message, and then you know what she is refering to, and can respond with a practiced certainty for staying on topic.

Best advice…do not answer at all…she has a lawyer and you have one…pass messages like that. Then they are recorded, and can be used in court. I say this because i do believe she might take advantage of your vulnerability just to get what she wants.

Again…i will be praying!

Dear Half,

I am so sorry to hear this about your wife. Still, do you think a change may be in the offing? Our Lord’s Will will be done. I will keep praying for you…that you have the endurance to go through this trial. I will pray that the Holy Spirit gives you courage to face whatever it is that lies ahead. I will ask Our Blessed Mother to comfort you and to whisper blessings into your wife’s ear. Hang in there. Many prayers are being said. Please pray for me, too. I thank you so much. God be with you.

:confused: Forgive me, I am naive in an area of prayer. I don’t understand why it wouldn’t be “His will” to have all marriages stay as one. Two become one, right? I suppose if one of the persons is a physical abuser, a drug addict, or some other type of terrible person, it would probably be His will to have the good one away from the bad one. In my case, although my wife has done evil things and may be having some sort of “mental breakdown” according to my attorney, I know that I can forgive her and I know she is capable of being a good person again. I pray that it is His will to watch over her and guide her somehow to do the right things and somehow start communicating with me again. This would be nothing short of a miracle. It will be a true miracle to be able to save my marriage. I’ll stay focused on the miracle in progress. 👍
 
You are right to a certain degree. That degree is a measurement all men belive they can assume, but in Gods time and in Gods reason, there just might be reason for being apart. Just maybe she will never be content untill she believes life out there is not what she was searching for.

So in this sense, letting her go might be the beginning of her journey back to you…like a teen entering adulthood, they need to make their own mistakes. Just maybe this was never lived out as she grew up as a young woman, and followed the right path with someone elses discernment…and now she wants her own.

I do believe the intention is to be together, but not by force. She just might have to go in order for her to FIND god…usually this means hitting rock bottom first…so pray for her deeply, as your love for her is deep, i can see.

God also loves you my friend, and as lost as she might be, he does not want to loose you. do remember this, you are prescious to him as well, and this might be hard to bear this pain, and remain at his side…

In all things, he is there.

Rammie,

Thank you so much for the enlightenment. That was the type of answer I was searching for, although it is a difficult period I am going through.

Maybe I should ask all of you the question that is constantly on my mind for the past twelve months. I’ll give a little background and then ask you all the question.

During the past 2.5 years, I have lost my Uncle, a WWII verteran, POW, silver star, purple heart, a real hero and the nicest guy in the world. I also lost my other Uncle, head of our family, the one always looking out for everyone in my family, always providing for and giving to all. I also lost my father, the third of three brothers, the holy trinity I suppose. It’s been a sad period to say the least.

These three left behind inheritance money for myself and my two siblings. On March 12, I had written a check to cover my son’s portion of his inheritance. My wife knew about this for a long time beforehand. That same day, my wife took off of work, went to this bank and took half of the large amount of money that was in the account. I had her on the account as a joint holder in case anything ever happened to me, but she wasn’t allowed to touch these accounts as she had her own. My son’s inheritance check bounced just 12 minutes after she “stole” this money.

Image the horror felt by my son and myself when we learned that my wife, his stepmother, stole a large portion of inheritance money. That was the most shocking moment of my life. I had never known anyone that could stoop to such a low sub-human level. I never want to feel that way again. She’s done a laundry list of other evil things since, but you get the picture.

Now for my question. My last post I mentioned that I know I can forgive her. I really think I know I can forgive her if she repented and tried to make all of her wrongs right once again. If she could just get right with God everything would be so simple. As I mentioned before, that would be a miracle. My question is, how do I forgive someone like this if she doesn’t make things right, if she doesn’t repent for her sins, if she doesn’t even want to be forgiven? I could really use a good coach on this one. It’s terrible how when someone does something evil, such as my 3/12 wife or 9/11 terrorists, that the innocent victims are the ones that suffer the most and usually live with hate and other emotions that negatively impact themselves and their loved ones.

Thanks to all of you for your wisdom.
