I can't believe this happened. (No ExH disn't come back, but it's just as good - I think.)<p>Ok. I just finished posting a reply on this board today after having a not so very good meeting with my ExH. He is so controlling, and is holding money and kids over my head as much as he can to get his selfish way.<p>Anyway, after he left, and before I posted here, I was crying out to God for justice for me and my family and in particular I was asking Saint Faustina of the Divine Mercy for help. For anyone who is interested, I was saying the Chaplet of Mercy that Jesus said to Saint Faustina that anything you ask of me through the Chaplet will be granted if it is compatible with My will.<p>Usually when I get this upset and cry out to God in this way, something happens to make me feel better within the hour. Well I was waiting for that something and ExH calls. I of course let the phone ring because I am crying over him and praying and he doesn't leave a message - he calls back 4 times - never leaves a message. <p>So I post on this forum to make myself feel better, and while I am posting, ExH calls again and this time leaves a message. It's an emergency he says.<p>I call him back. He tells me that he is getting sued for med. mal. because he doesn't look like a pillar in the community(at least that what the patient told him) because his wife(me) posted that he had an affair on the internet(which I deny doing) and it makes him look like a bad person. Supposedly patient filing suit saw this - or his atorney found something.<p>Well, I don't know what ExH is ranting about but I do a search on the internet of ExH's name - and low and behold something comes up.<p>A long time ago I put a prayer request on the web site for Saint Sister Faustina and it says something like I pray for conversion of ExH and of it is GOd's Will that he end his affair and return to the marriage and then my name and e-mail is there. Nothing racy or underhanded.<p>Now since we're divorced - I can't be held liable for any of the monetary judgments against ExH - and we just got divorced too. This is a good thing.<p>So, anyway I just thought it was neat that I called out to God and St. Faustina specifically for help, and then I get this call and find out that thew info. came from St. Faustina. Coinscidence? I think not. <p>I'm not exactly sure how this will help me, but it gives me the greatest peace and comfort and even joy in the midst of all my suffering knowing that someone up there is hearing my prayers.<p>Keep the faith.<p>God is really in control.

I am a firm believer that God appears to us as we understand Him. I am so glad that you are continuing to trust in God and I appreciate your encouragement. Right now, I am learning to remain committed to God and my H is still straddling the fence. But at the same time, God is providing for us abundantly, and our friendship is becoming stronger. In my case, my thinking has massively changed toward him. I have almost decided how I would like to think of my husband, but in the meantime God has truly been the Center of my behaving toward him, because I didn't know what to think when his A initially happened.<p>I am so glad you are staying grounded spiritually. God always answers.
