PositiveAttitude ? for her mission overseas; and especially for her DD1 who has been going through some tough times and may soon be spending some time abroad with her parents; for happiness for the whole Attitude family; also for PA?s mum who has Alzheimer?s; and prayers of thanks for the birth of PA?s baby great-nephew;

Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

It's ok Kaykat. My ExH said he wouldn't get back with me unless I agreed to deep throating and basically said things were dull in the bedroom. It's so so painful.

You're in good company here and nothing is too shocking for us ladies.

I ask Father God to release you from that label now though, in the name of Jesus! Amen x

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 16/03/2013 22:46

Abusive men are so good at looking like the perfect Dad/ husband to the outside world Angry

blackeyedsusan · 16/03/2013 22:52

sounds like you are both well rid.

Kaykat · 17/03/2013 07:54

Thanks Mome. It's interesting how OW seem to be able to fulfil all their bedroom desires. I got accused of putting other things before his needs and was told many times that his needs should be my priority over housework, child and even needing a drink or a wee! If I wasn't in the mood or too tired he would keep me awake all night discussing it. Every time I dropped off the sleep waking me up to discuss it. When it got to the point that I was only going to get a couple of hours sleep and had to work the next day I had to give in. This happened many times throughout the marriage, so nothing to do with OW or cannabis. I think it will be helpful for me to remember things that happened before the cannabis otherwise I might be tempted to blame everything on the cannabis if the effects of it wear off at some point.

It's Sunday and during my happy month of January I managed o get to church twice. I was starting to rebuild my life. Now I feel like my life is on hold. I am in crisis mode and can't do many social things at the moment.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 17/03/2013 08:00

They rewrite history to justify their actions.

Keeping you awake all night to talk about you being too tired for sex. Is not a loving husbands actions. He is/ was abusive Sad How awful, and he knew you'd give in so you could get some sleep.

HavingALittleFaithBaby · 17/03/2013 13:20

Definitely think there's some wise words above kay. Only you know what your relationship was really like with him. It sounds like you're missing the life you wanted to have - if he was the husband he pretended to be (to the outside world). With your not being at home, I imagine its much tougher. Just remind yourself of what he is really like...

Well I made it to church today for the first time in weeks! DH didn't because he isn't feeling 100% - upset stomach which is settling. I'm glad I made it and hopefully I'll be able to go more in the next few weeks since I finish work on Friday!

RoomForALittleOne · 17/03/2013 16:13

Afternoon All.

So much to pray about here. Thank-you to Mome and Kay for your honesty. Sometimes we need to be deeply honest with others so that ignorance isn't an option. I don't want to live in my nice house with my nice husband and nice children (well, sometimes!) and think that I don't need to worry about others.

My GTT came back normal so hopefully I can continue to wee out glucose without anyone fussing! And we also have come closer to discerning what we should do about where we attend church. DH and I have both gone on the electoral roll at his placement church this morning. We are gaining so much as a family from going to the church in terms of considering the future and seeing church done differently. I think it's one of those times in life when you think you are going along to serve and end up learning so much from the people you are serving that they are the ones serving you! I do wonder what God is calling us to when it comes to curacy...

Dutchoma · 17/03/2013 16:22

That's good news LittleOne.

MadHairDay · 17/03/2013 19:33

That's good Room - I remember that time well! :)

Kay... :( You have been through so much. He abused you. He belittled you and used you. :( Don't be taken in by the platitudes of those who saw the face he put on and believed it. You have taken this brave, brave step, and it's onwards and upwards now. You're doing so well....it must be so heartbreaking, so hard. Prayers for courage, strength, comfort, peace are surrounding you. Keep going. xx

I enjoyed the women's day....overtired though, today, and a bit down about our situation here again..it's so hard

blackeyedsusan · 17/03/2013 20:29

Dutchoma · 20/03/2013 16:32

I've had a prayer request from Jan for her dd who has broken her arm and needs an operation. No more details I will update as soon as I can.

Bluetinkerbell · 20/03/2013 17:33

Prayer request here too, I've got mastitis and it's very painful! :(

Praying for everyone

Dutchoma · 20/03/2013 20:27

I've heard from Jan that she's got to stay in the hospital with dd overnight and her telephone battery is running out, so not much more info about what happened.
Prayers for Blue as well, mastitis is horrible.
