I'm so sorry about the bump(s) in the road. And for the other aggravations that make the important things in your life even more difficult to deal with.
I truly hope your congregation would not take the harsh step of removing your husband from the church. Maybe I just don't understand the church environment you're dealing with, but I thought that church was for welcoming and helping to heal hurt people.
Sounds like H really has a lot of things on his plate emotionally. He is in therapy of some kind, right? I mean, if he is going on about childhood abuse in a drunken state, seems to me it's still pretty raw for him and something that should be being addressed strongly.
Not surprised by your loving response to his setback. You're an amazing woman and he is ever so lucky to have you by his side. Are the kids ok? Sounds like a great opportunity for the family to come together in caring for each other.
Sorry Lin, wish I could think of something profound and helpful to say that would make this easier for you. Maybe it will be enough to know that we are out here and we care. I always have included you and your family on my prayer list, but I'll be sure to spend a little time on all of you the next couple of nights.
Let me know if there is anything I can do, because you know I will.
Much love and caring,
Bill
