All what you wrote is good. My kids used to come into my room at night and lie on my bed to talk. They still do it occasionally. My daughter will take naps on my bed. I asked them once if they ever did that on their dad’s bed. They both indignantly replied “NO, we don’t even go in there, his wife sleeps in there!”
)Very good indeed. I also would never be the one to willingly move out of that house, but obviously I can’t tell him what to do. Her misery is just beginning. If he lets her share it with him. All is truly lost for this family as a family.
This could easily be what you’re looking at. In-person onversations with these real women with real experience whom you know could tell you things none of us ever could.
I know I’m coming into this story late, but I just wanted to share some encouragement. Life does go on after divorce! Your wife and yourself might end up being good friends after everything has settled and your children will still adore you and their mother if you both remain good parents (I’m sure you will).
Great reading choice.
As you discuss allocation of assets, be sure your attorney sees to it that you can maintain a home that is as fully hospitable to the needs of your children as your wife can. I don’t mean with regards to luxury. I mean that you need to be ready, willing, and able to give your kids a full-time home at a moment’s notice. If they see when they visit you that you desire to have them for as much time as you possibly can, that you are even looking primarily for a home that is more convenient to their school and activities than to your work, it will make a big difference in your relationship with them. Don’t hesitate to advocate for that with all of your might.
Relying totally on Our Lord and taking medications are not mutually exclusive. God gave us brains for a reason. Christ is the ultimate healer. As members of the Body of Christ, we Christians can bring His healing presence to others by offering medications when needed. Do you reject all medications, vitamin supplements, and medical treatment? Is a reliance on medication somehow a rejection of Our Lord?
Yes they are unless there is a medically quantifiable physical malady in which one can be returned to normal by non mood altering
If I thought you had actually read most of this thread this would be insulting. Nobody, and I do mean NOBODY here has held out hope for Tucdoc and his family more than I have. I wasn’t criticizing him. I was criticizing his being advised to sedate himself to “help him cope” by someone claiming to believe the God who has already counted every snowflake in this coming winter. Trust me friend. I am no armchair forum counselor. I practice what I preach and I cry out to the Lord on this man’s behalf on a regular basis. That’s not just something I say on the Internet because it sounds good. I know their pain first hand and I have shed tears beseeching the most high God that He display His triumphant might in their midst thereby glorifying Himself through their victory.
