Update: The divorce should be done in about a month. Funny thing, when I finally agreed to her unfair demands just because I decided I wanted to end it and move on with my life - she starts making new demands and then new effort after effort to stall the process. Cold feet - I guess? Anyhow, I finally got a lawyer and forced her to bargain with me. I get primary custody, she gets summers and 2 weekends. Also, I ask that no one pray for the restoration of my family anymore. Too much time has passed to restore it and from what my daughter, my son and some of my wife's nieces and nephews tell me I understand that she has been "clubbing" A LOT with her "Catholic Sister" and I tell you when I saw her recently I could see the frequent "mileage" on her face. I will not take someone like her back. Additionally, I made a decision long ago that I always put my children ahead of me and I haven't been doing that - I've been listening to my heart instead of my head. it's better for them if I don't take her back. She disgusts me now anyway. So i ask that you please pray for my wife's soul, my hateful/bitter/angry mother-in-laws soul and for everyone in my family to heal.

P.S. I'm really-really drowsy and I apologize for my poor writing and any "incoherence".

May the Lord Bless All of You - My Loving Brother's and Sisters. You really helped!

I hear bitterness and anger from you, in this post. and maybe the milage you see on her face is what you see through the eyes of your flesh, just like Jesus forgave us for ALL the sins we commited against him, so shall we do to those who kurt us and sinned against us. read the parable of the wicked servant... I want to say is if you cant find it in your heart to forgive, go to the Father and ask him to help you, I am praying that you forgive, so you wont be hurting yourself by holding on and being in bondage to the pass, which gives satan rule over you. I speak the peace of God in your heart as well as your family. please dont do anything to " protect your heart " give it to God and he will do a so much better job at protecting your heart, mind, body and soul.. that you will be without spots or blemishes....
the only way we as humans know how to protect our hearts is to block everything from hurting us, which is fear, and fear keeps God out, for perfect love casteth out fear... and fear is also tormenting.. Read I John 4... and if fear is in us that means that God who is perfect love; is not....
My brother I pray God will give you full understanding, and with it come his love, mercy, compassion, and hope... and you will know it.. because you will also give it.
as Christ has shown us soooo much mercy, please show your wife the same mercy.. and Love her, even if you are not with her... you say she will suffer for her choices... maybe if we pray God have mercy on her.. that even though she was wrong in her choices, Lord give her a blessed life with you Lord Jesus, and if you want to spare you children the pain, suffering, and shame, explain to them how the enemy works and lead them to pray and fight for the soul of their mother and for the love and peace of God to over take everyone, let them know that God can and will work it out for you all...... let them know their mother love them... the devil is real.. do not turn them over to him by feeding them his hatred, and bitterness... nor feed them your pain, for they will not know what to do for you and her, it will open the door to all kind of demonis attivaty.. and all they want in life will be driven by this... let the Lord have them... feed them mercy, forgiveness and love.... and all the fruit of the Spirit that they be not driven but guided by the pwoer of God and all their choices in life will be a blessing to them and for them, and for the glory of/to God our father..... and I pray Lord God all this be done for this family in the Holy name of Christ Jesus. Amen

My wife (of almost 26 years) and I were struggling to deal with our 15 year son who had become a demanding, controlling, angry, destructive, violent, suicidal and homicidal manic-depressive teenage son.

I think you're diverting the attention away from the real issue here, what is the root of your sons problems? Am i right in saying you care more about your wife the the marital institution than you do your son?

God bless you all.

I am going through the same thing right now. Here is a prayer i found.

Dear Lord, You know better than anyone else that this is a difficult day for me, and for many others who are experiencing challenging times in their marriages, so I pray that I will feel Your love in a very special way. May I be rooted in Your love today, Lord, May I experience and feel the wonder and power of Your amazing grace and love. May this not be a day of sadness, but a day of rejoicing, because I KNOW You LOVE me, and YOU have ALL things that concern me and my family in the control of Your Almighty, loving hand.

Lord, I pray that on this day which might otherwise tend to be discouraging, that You will bring some special incident of hope and encouragement to me and every other man and woman standing for the restoration of their marriages. I know You care about me in every detail of my life, and I’ve often experienced that down to even the smallest of details, so bless me and my family with Your presence and encouragement today. Fill me with an extra measure of faith this day, Lord. Help me to keep my eyes on You and not on my circumstances. Help me enjoy the many things You bless me with every day of my life instead of dwelling on that one thing I don’t have or enjoy today. Show me how to express Your love by loving others, especially those who are not acting in love with me. Teach me to be more focused on the love I demonstrate and give to others today rather than concerning myself with how others may or may not love me. Show me how to walk in Your love this day that You might be glorified.

And Lord, please touch ________’s heart, who is not walking in right relationship with You today. It is the greatest desire of my heart that ________ will come to know You as her Lord and Savior, so I thank You for sending the power of Your Holy spirit to move in her life today in a most powerful and supernatural way and for bringing her to the saving knowledge of You, Lord Jesus. You came to set the captives free, but my wife now lives in bondage, so I come against all manner of sin, bondage, strongholds, deception, adultery, disobedience and disbelief in the name of Jesus Christ, from which I know Satan must flee. I cover my wife, ________, with the blood of the Lamb today and it is the word of my testimony that she WILL be saved and delivered, and that she WILL walk in right relationship with You, Lord. Please give me the strength, wisdom and grace to live in such a way that she will se You in me, Lord. I thank You that all of my interaction with her will glorify You and ask You to always remind me that every encounter I have with her will either lead her toward You or away from You.

Be Thou glorified in this day that You have made Lord; I will rejoice and be glad in it! And let Your love shine in and through me today! Amen.

demanding, controlling, angry, destructive, violent, suicidal and homicidal manic-depressive teenage son..

Hey there. It sounds like you and your son have great difficulties in communicating.
Suicidal tendencies may occur in young men and woman with bipolar type 1 and 2 (manic depressives),
and it is very important for manic depressives to get assistance.

I have extensive experience with people struggling with bipolar disorder, and if helpful and needed, can at least give as much advice that is wanted.

You describe your son as destructive, violent and homicidal. I'm not trying to pry, but do you have any examples of this behaviour? You are describing your own son in nothing but negative terms, but also
seem aware that he has a disorder that can in great part explain this behaviour, especially if examined in correlation with his upbringing.

A lot of people doesn't understand what it means to have manic-depressive disorder.
This often leads to situations that escalate problems.

I would like to know more, if you are willing to share, and if you think it could help.

Here's a thought. Don't worry about them so much right now. You have some time to yourself for a change. Try to enjoy it. Try and rediscover who you are again as a person. Find your center again. Go out and do some fun things on your own or with a friend. Just take some time to yourself to get your mind off all this. Maybe go on a vacation. Then after you've had time to think maybe you'll realize that it might have been for the best. I mean no one wants to have a marriage break apart. But you said it yourself that the child was a terror. And that the wife was out of her mind too. That's a very very challenging situation to try and put back together. It's no longer the same family dynamic you had say year ago when you were first starting out. Things have changed. You want the situation to somehow get back that fun enjoyable environment you had when you first started out. But it's hard to say if it could get back to that place again. Life is about change. And you might have to accept the idea that this might be a new chapter in your life appearing. and it might be for the best. Then in time when they realize your gone, they might appreciate you again. And maybe at some point you might be able to be friends with them again, or reconnect on some level. Or maybe not, maybe you just need to completely move on and find a healthy solid new base. A new environment of loving caring stable friends and family to build the kind of environment you truely desire most. Again really take a vacation and take some time to yourself to find yoruself. Don't dwell on the past. Just focus on find you again. You've been doing nothign but likely trying to helpying these people and it's obviously stressed you out and drained you emotionally and in other ways. It's not healthy. Let go of all that and move on for a while so you can recharge your batteries. now I'll pray. Dear Lord please help this man. Comfort his heart. Comfort and bring peace to him and to his wife and child. Disipline the child if necessary so that he won't end up ruining his life later on. And bring sanity back to the wife. And help this man to find peace again even if that means having time to himself and building a new life. Amen.
