OK to cut it short.
Fasting for Guidance.
Husband drug addict and alchoholic. been amphetamineamd cocaine free (I think) since January after police involvement caused social services to assess our children as I have to leave them with him (4 and 6) while I go to work (have no-one else to care for them, live away from my family, work unsocial hours I am a midwife). He has been mixing drink and prescription meds all the time, for years. Drink getting out of hand he sometimes has no memory of events and is threatenting, prides himself that he does not hit women and children but says if he starts he will kill me. If I phone the police again, it will be the last time I do etc. stay in room when he is very drunk out of his way, but fear of what he might do as he is throwing stuff around down stairs. Fasting as I want God to tell me it is OK to leave, but God gives me words like restoration and today the below scripture.........
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.
2 Corinthians 1:8-9 (Read all of 2 Corinthians 1)
I leave my children with him as he says he is the head of the house and I need to trust God will keep them safe, and when I involve the police I am involving the world........... He is not always really drunk, but will drink every day... I dont know what normal is anymore.
I need a word
Is the husband the head... he tells me to leave every day.. he blames me for his drinking, he says if it was not for me he would not need to drink... I know it is his choice, I dont care for him anymore he is horrid. But I dont want to leave, as I take my marriage vows seriously
