My H has been home for a week and things are difficult. He is deeply angry and I am trying hard not to LB. My silence (when sensitive subject is brought up) is perceived as a LB. I can not do right whether I am silent or speak. H has been swearing at me and told me today that he just doesn't feel an attraction to me. The 4th, he told me he did love me the same as he used to. His specific words. A week's time and he is completely turned in his feelings. He is leaving today. He has been telling D that he wants to be a family again, but what is going on? I can't think of any specific thing that prompted his reaction to me. He is angry at my other children and in spite of my son going out of his way to be pleasant, he calls him names and tells him he needs to find a new place to live. He tells me to sell my house and if he decides he wants to make our family work, we can move. If he decides does not want to make it work, I can find a new place to live. This is not economically sound, however I would do so if our relationship was sound. I have broken down and cried as he has been abusive in his words towards me. My D asked me "Why is Daddy mad at you?". so his anger is apparent to all but him. I tried to quietly ask him why he was unhappy and he told me that his feelings just weren't the same for me. He is off again, on again in his words and actions and I am tired. I am concerned that all of this is hurtful to our D and I know she will be upset when he leaves. He has not spoken a kind word for the past 3 days. He snaps at me and tells me I am incompetent because I can't read his mind. Right now, I want to erase his presence from my life (to keep from being hurt more), but I can't because of our daughter. Thank you for praying for us...

Father, I ask that You soften the heart of onedayatatime's husband towards his wife and family. Show him that the anger he is directing at them comes from the double-mindedness and guilt within him. Open his eyes to the spiritual battle resulting from his relationship with the OW. Show him his attraction to the OW as you see it. Guide him back home to his family where he belongs.<P>Place the words of James 4:07-10 in his heart and mind. "Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up."<P>Father, place a wall of protection and a thorny hedge around onedayatatime's family. Block satan from trying to claim their marriage to destroy. Shine your perfect light into the darkness of his relationship with the OW. Send your mighty men into their home to drive out the enemy and reclaim her husband, their marriage and family for your own.<P>Father, give onedayatatime and the children the strength and faith they need in this hour. Lift them up to You and comfort them in their distress. Cradle them in your presence and fill them with hope and Your love, Father, so they do not feel alone.<P>I ask this of You in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Thise on again off again feelings are so hard. Please stand strong. My prayers are with you.
