n, I'm so sorry that things have turned out the way that they have, but God does have a reason for all of this and it will be revealed in time. I do suspect that he's still deep in depression and whatever she says goes for him at this time. He is the exact opposite of the man you knew and that's one of the signs of mlc. Also, the way that he's run away and allowed her to take control of his life, it is almost like she's his "mother" these days. Was his mother like this, do you know?
As for the child, maybe in that country you can adopt at that age. I just find it very strange that with their ages, time in that country, etc., they would allow this. I'm just surprised by the adoption laws over there. Time will tell on this one. I do hope that they will give the child a good home.
I know that this news has thrown you, but you need to find a way to let it go. Time is on your side and you just never know what the future holds for you, i.e., whether he wakes up, returns to you or another door opens and someone else comes into your life. I do believe God has a special plan for each and every person who walks this earth. Sometimes we know and can accomplish what needs to be done and other times, he tears things apart and rebuilds a new and better scenario for us.
You know you can always come here to vent. We are here for you and understand what it is like to have such news dropped in your lap once again.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
