This is the hardest thing to do. Unfortnatley i never asked for it. I would never make my husband choose between his family and ours. But that is what his family is doing. And he is doing it. I love my husband and he hurts me so much. When i went to resolve the conflicts between his mother and i, she backed down and cancelled...this of course was my fault. I was 'told' and demanded to go to her house and resolve this. this situation that she had catalizied. Many threats were made by his family and him. Eventually throughout the evening he became violent (not extreemely - but nevertheless..)but my biggest concern was our daughter - the one i was holding in my arms when this incident occured. i feared for my daughter and myself (mostly from the threats of his family that he is blind to) and i left. I have given him every/all information to where his daughter is at, or where she will be..i would never keep him from her. He even came over to see her the other night, but when he initally wanted to see her it was - i want to take her so my family can see her - he wasn't even fighting just for himself to be with her. This of course is all my fault as this tears us apart today. i recently started to reach out to him, i won't lie or deny my feelings - it's just hurts to much, but as expected - my efforts were denied by him. Now i feel as though he has turned into his parents. I know what i have done (wrong) to steer our relationship this way - i have acknowledged, accepted (with out excuses or reasonings) and have attempted to make more efforts. All at the rejection of him. Well this is my painful turmoil. I wish my husband would realize that he has a family (ours)<br>-Hopelessly hurt

Dear Me226<br>You are going through a difficult situation. Of course he needs to realise that you are his family now. It says so clearly in the Bible. A man shall leave his family and cleave to his wife. Its unfortunate that he is behaving in such an immature and hurtful mannor. Do you have a Christian support group. Maybe a church group you can lean on. Do you have a pastor you can trust and go to. These all help. Keep praying and commiting the situation to Jesus. <br>Take care<br>Smitha
