Hi everyone, I am making the move back into my house today and I could use the extra strength of prayer. My wife is already showing signs that she is going to lose it. I delayed this to the weekend hoping she would calm down but I think she took it as I was caving into her.<p>Well I'm not, I'm moving back in. Packing things up here this morning and she sent me some nasty IMs. Of course I have begun to record all of this in preparation to protect my family. I don't know what's going to happen but I will do what I need to do. I encouraged her to keep a grip on her temper for our sons sake and she fired back with "I HATE YOU" and "DROP DEAD" so I'm not very optimistic about this.<p>I'm looking to the Lord as I've never really done in my life to help me through this. I have the support of (ironically enough) her family, some excellent people I've met here and a couple of friends. I am going to try and weather this storm. Wish me luck.

Dear S_G,<p>I hope that your W will calm down and the two of you can work out an acceptable living arrangement. You have said that your financial/job situation has made moving back necessary. You have to do this. She has to live with it. Other couples live separately in the same house. I hope W drops her hateful attitude and helps to make this work out. Besides, it's your house, too.<p>I know that this will be stressful until your W calms down, but you are doing the right thing. Prayers and best wishes,
Estes

Stay strong in the Lord for your son. It's good to be weak, cuz when we're weak, HE is strong (inside of us). It's almost like God needs us to be emptied of ourselves and our ability so that we WILL look to Him for help and strength. I'm sure He won't let you down. He is utterly faithful. My prayers are with you S_G. Please let everyone know know you're doing today... How is the baby?
