Prayer for encouragement and strength to hold on to God on my situation.
(brief)
I was faithful with my partner ever since but 3 years ago she cheated on me which it really was so painful but i gave her another chance thought she would change, 2 years later, she keeps on insisting to work abroad so that she could help me more financially and send some too to her parents. It hurts coz her parents wants her to go because they can then ask money from her which i dont like because we are married and we have a child but to end the argument i approved painfully. On her months abroad, she then looks down on me and on my work coz her monetary value is bigger( but despite of this, I was even able to send her money when she had financial crisis, she does not even send money for our son), she makes ridiculous excuses and the worst part is she had another relationship with a guy. All I could do is pray since we are far distant but more worst happened, they are living together which she hide this for many months and she now has a child on that guy which shocked my life.. she told me before that she will go abroad to help us financially but she did not send any money but sent divorce papers. (NOTE: there is no divorce in our country which leads that she can freely marry in the country she is staying but if i choose to remarry, i can't unless i file a annulment which is expensive and she does not want to take part of it).

My son is not fully aware of the situation because he does not understand it, even how painful the mother did something to me or to our family, i still did not destroy her reputation to our son. I still keep on praying to the Lord but sometimes its hard and i go on self- pity.

Some people advice me to find a new partner but i still have this ( hard to trust issue) due to the experience and i know im vulnerable to Satan's trap if i just go directly in a relation without God's guidance.. BUT IT'S TEMPTING or its really about time ?.. i already accepted what happened but sometimes i dont know what to think or do...

I still now continue to act as a father and mother to my son, a bit financially burden coz she was able to ask and get some of my savings before she went abroad and i just filed a annulment to set myself free. I just try to keep moving but end up thinking why this happened and what to do, i just smile to people like i'm fine but actually crying and hurting inside.

Just for encoragement

Sorry to hear this. Im sure it is hard to understand why you are going through this. I am praying for you and your child. I pray that God gives you comfort, healing, and guidance on what to do next. What the devil meant for evil,God can turn it around for our good!
