Wife filed for divorce...Is there still hope?

[Serenity13]

LSG~

I just finished reading all 26 pages of this thread since you were so kind to stop by my thread.

Just a few thoughts for you...

I have been in the same place as you, I kept thinking my H would rather have me homeless and starving than give me a dime...

I had to swallow my pride and get on food stamps...That was a very humbling experience for me & one of the lowest places I have ever been.

I lost my house, lost my car...Still living with my parents, still don't have a car, H still doesn't pay me a dime, CS was filed back in November and we haven't even seen a court date yet...

I also made sure my kids were fed before I ate...

You do whatever you have to do in order to take care of your kids. The courts wouldn't hold public assistance against you, especially considering how your wife is behaving.

Now, normally I reserve any "preachy" type conversations to either my blog or one on one, however I am going to step away from that for a moment...

I noticed a common theme in reading these last few pages... "Tomorrow is a new day" or "There is always tomorrow"...

Tomorrow isn't promised, to any of us...Today, this moment is all you have, sieze this moment and think about what you need to do for you and your children.

Since you go to Church you should recognize this - He will never, ever give you more than you can handle, however you need to take a step back, take a deep breathe and refocus.

The blessings are there for you, sometimes though, you have to go and seek them out instead of waiting for them to fall in your lap.

I ask the next two questions with all due respect...

What do you want out of your life?

How long are you going to allow someone else to dictate the course of your life?

Don't answer them here, to me, to anyone else.

These are 2 very important things that can only be answered between you and Him.

I will keep you in my prayers.
