and do it. Ladies, please ask God to guide me... I am really stupid in making decisions. Ask Him to make whatever has to happen fall into place. HE HAS TO TAKE CONTROL. Do I do this or that? Do I do the other thing? Each decision would take a lot of time, effort, and money and I don't have the latter to spend uselessly...
Is my one sided communication with my husband harming him or me? Do I just stop writing him? Or is it doing good? He gets offended SO easily. I really, really don't know what to do. AT ALL.
From the early morning until late at night, this home is filled with angry jealous chaos, directed at me, from every direction, EVERY SINGLE DAY. I need to know what to do. I may be here for a reason that is not yet fulfilled regarding my teens or something else, I don't know. 
Does God really have a plan for my marriage, or not? Is it wrong to want answers?
I am praying daily for my husbands healing and as his wounds are revealed to me, the mountain seems insurmountable... I had a really bad night. I believe God will answer my prayer... I believe without a doubt. But..will his life include us, or not...what is His will for me, what am I supposed to do right now?

Dear Robin, keep praying and trusting that our Lord holds all things in His Almighty care. Try to remain in the present moment, always keeping yourself in a state of grace and peace, knowing that God is in control of all things, even those that seem most impossible. May your entire family be enfolded in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Pray! Hope! Trust! Hold Fast! and as St. Padre Pio would say, "Don't Worry". If writing your husband seems to only make him more upset, perhaps it would be better, for now, to turn your thoughts and efforts into increased prayers for your husband's healing and conversion. Often God works best when we step out of the way, surrender all things to Him, and do nothing (except continue to pray). Keeping you and your loved ones in prayer.

 Thank you Servant. Your words were truly a balm to my soul. I am praying rosaries and Divine Mercy Chaplet; morning, noon, and night; and offering daily Mass and having Masses said for him and fasting for him. But when I do this for someone, a battle begins, on top of the issues I'm already dealing with... And the one fighting is stronger than me. I just turn to this forum and facebook for support because I get absolutely NONE in real life.
Thank you Nancy.

Peace,

Praying for you, Robin. Have you tried to speak with Dr. Greg Popcak at www.exceptionalmarriages.com?
He is 100% Catholic and totally faithful to the Magisterium. He has been a wonderful help to our family in the past.
In the meantime, I agree with Servant2theKing in regards to writing your husband. It seems, from what little info we have, that it is emotionally and psychologically draining for you...and that time would be best spent tending to your children/home/etc and your soul, fwiw.
Do you have a confessor/spiritual director?
I will send up sincere prayers for you. You have been through so much...

I'm really sorry for this turmoil Robin,
What you are already doing in terms of prayer and sacrifice is just amazing...I heard this once when one just doesn't know what to say or do, when you are hanging on by a thread.
Lord, please snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.
Try your very best to keep yourself well, emotionally and physically.
I'm praying for your intentions Robin.
Marcia
