I am a 29 yr old mother of 3 and wife of almost 11 yrs. My husband seperated himself from me about 2 months ago. We have both been unfaithful, me 2yrs ago and him this last month. He says he has been looking forsomeone else for a long time. and he says I have been too. He says he just can't live with me and the kids right now and doesn't know if he will come back. My heart is broken. Our families are not alike. He is from an abused broken home. He is in denial about it. I am from a somewhat turmoilous home but not nearly as much as he. He got this job as a nationwide truckdriver and today he said he thinks he is going to quit. I have asked God to keep him safe and healthy but to make him miserable at the same time. All of our latest serious problems began when he got out of the military in Feb and started driving in April. Is he just feeling to guilty and selfish to ask for forgiveness. I already have. I ask over and over for God to enable my heart to forgive and go on. I got a part time job that starts in Aug. and hoping to get another part time or full time job by Friday or next week. Waiting to hear on them. We have a 10 yr old son his is very emotionally distrought. I placed him in treatment 2 wks ago tomorrow. He is a result of our marriage and he has ADHD and Bipolar. He is in the best place right now and I thank God he finally found some help for our son. I did it all on my own. My husband was very angry with because I could not deal with our son. I am not sure how he feels about it today. I am trying very hard to pull myself together for our 3 children and myself. He says he wants to be apart for a long time. What else do I do? I am reading the bible. Praying all through the day. Talking and crying to god. I am reading an almost through with the book called "Hope for the seperated" by Gary Chapman. I have admitted(verbally and wrote them down) all my horrible sin and truly asked for God's forgiveness. I am so scared!!! I have never been on my own before. I live with my sister now, moved out of his parents house. What else can I do?

In God's Love, Marie

{{{Marie}}}

You are going to be okay. Take it one day at a time.

For now just look after yourself and the kids, and let God work on your husbands heart. Give it time.

This is not too hard for God.

Father,

Remind Marie to come to you daily for her needs, and of your promises. Thankyou for the work you are doing in her husband and for how you are going to take care of her in the meantime. I pray for healing in all their hearts, especially her son.
