I will do that. I will also pray that the Holy Spirit leads your dh to treatment. Your family needs him well besides seeing your example of forgiveness.

Thank you for your prayers everyone. I feel that the prayer support I've received from the women here is what enabled me to confront dh about what I had discovered without blowing up (which is what I usually do).
Things are better, for now. I know from experience that when dh is caught, he is on his best behavior for awhile, then eventually slips back into his old habits. It is hard to hope that this time will be different. I am having a very hard time softening my heart towards him. After going through this many times over the past 8 years, I would just rather have a brother-sister relationship with him. I know I should forgive him, but I am having a really hard time doing it. Will you pray that God will soften my heart and help me to forgive him? |

So glad to hear the prayers are helping a bit. I'll continue to keep you both in my prayers -- St. Joseph, St. Michael and the Blessed Mother spread their mantles of love and protection around you and your family!

I am sorry that you are living through this long trial. I am continuing to pray for the both of you.

You all continue in my thoughts and prayers. May the Holy Spirit bring your husband to a deep conversion.
This is such a heavy cross! Turn to the Divine Mercy. He will give you strength and courage and will guide you. Jesus, I trust in You! Say it at every moment of the day.

I am continuing to say prayers. Do you have a good priest with whom you can talk? Just a thought...
