I am 48 and in the process of separating from my husband. This is a road I never wanted to go down. But God has been telling me to go for a while now. When I finally decided to listen the "fog" that had held my brain lifted and I finally saw things clearly for the first time in a long time. I wasn't walking with God when I entered into the marriage. I had some faith but wasn't saved. I got saved when my oldest child was 11. As I have grown in faith it became more apparent that the marriage had some serious problems. The treatment of myself and the kids was not good. He refuses to even try to come to church, has made fun of me and the kids at times for being Christian. So a few months ago while I was praying God said you need to move out of this home. So I gathered my courage and asked him to leave. He refused to go. He said he wasn't leaving and begged me to stay. I told him no and that I would leave with the kids. So I started to look for a place but I was not following the prompting of God. Finally I gave up and prayed I said Lord I give up I can't do this you want me to leave so I put this in your hands I need a place for me and my kids that I can pay for myself. God showed me what to do next. I followed what he said to do and I will be signing a lease on a 3 bedroom townhouse with a washer and dryer in the unit. The kids will go to a good school and I am 10 minutes from work. I am learning to follow him, to depend on him, give my problems to him. That for me was/is a hard lesson to learn. But when I obey the lord he can do amazing things. God is Good!

Hello Kpup431, and welcome to CC. I see that no one else has replied, probably because it looks like you have been well guided by our Lord. I think it is wonderful that you have learned to understand what He is telling you. Very many of us haven't learned that art yet, myself included. In a way I feel sorry for your husband more than for you. After the resurrection you and, hopefully, your children will live with our Father, but he will not be so fortunate. As far as he is concerned, I will leave your treatment of him up to you and God. I have only found goodhearted people here and many who want to help others grow in the knowledge of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I hope you find a good church near your new home, and at least one good friend to lean on. I thank God for His guiding hand in your life.
