Please see my posts in the Divorced/Divorcing forum-Why does the STBXH have to be so cruel. I am hurting (just like I am sure so many of us here are) and I don't want to be a prayer hog!!! I do remember others in my pain.<P>Please pray for my sanity and that I look to the Lord for strength, courage, and control over the thoughts that continue to swim in my head. The pain in unbearable, especially lately. Thank you.

Dear Lord, please fill this person's needs. Hear the prayers that have been sent up to you, father, and answer them as only you know how to do. Please bring an end to the suffering and reveal the hope that only your plan can provide. Help us remember to remember that it is in your will, not ours, that we will truly find peace. Shower your child with loving grace and bring peace to this hurting heart. Amen.

Hi,<BR>I am going through the same thing you are going through. My wife and I were separating and everything was above board, out in the open as to why and when, etc. The night I was to move, she got an order removing me from the house saying I tried to hit her, etc. Then 7 days later, had me arrested for the same things she said I did to her. The fact is... I DIDN'T do any of it. She didn't want me to remove any furnature. She also was very angry and hurt that I was upseting her life. I was imposing boundaries for myself. I couldn't take her childish behavior anymore. Now she treats me like I'm the bad guy. I have gotten my life with the Lord straightened out and want to reconcile but I cannot contact her until July 16th.<BR>Here's the tricky part: If I try to contact her, I am breaking her boundaries, even if they are wrong and childish. I have to go to friends and cry with them and ask them for emotional support and stop trying to "keep" her in my life. I have to let it go and trust that God has my best in His heart and that He won't let me down. I will pray for you to learn to trust God and to find others who can support you right now. A good book to read is "Boundaries" by Townsen and Cloud. Get it at the Christian bookstore. E-mail me if you want, TGattino@aol.com Ted
