I also had to sell many of my possessions. It also made me sick to my stomach that it was my stuff that was being sold to pay for his freedom and bad choices.
The first Winter he was gone, I had to sell my antique teacup collection on Ebay. In the Spring I had a garage sale and got rid of so many of my personal items, and pieces of furniture.
The following Winter, I sold our handmade Amish bed so that I could buy oil to heat our home. I slept on an old mattress on the floor in my room.
When my Husband came home we slowly replaced those items again.
I know it is only "stuff" but in the big scheme of things, our Marriages are more important than things.
One day, you will be able to buy those things again, maybe not quite the same things, but things you and your Husband can choose together.
I know this part of the journey is the hardest part, they are so close but yet so far away. Hang in there!!!
((((hugs))))
There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
