Hi everyone

[amber4099]

Pete56 invited me over from christianforums. Here is what I posted there about my situation...

Feeling so blue

I don't know what to do.... When I married my husband he was going to church with me. He was never into church before but seemed to be willing to go for me. All seemed well and I thought that he would be saved before long. Well after we got married he started getting really fowl when we would leave services, cussing and just being generally angry (once leaving me pregnant on the side of the road, though he did come back after a couple minutes) then he just stopped going. Now he makes my life miserable saying that I am filling our kids heads with lies and myths. Saying that christianity has as much truth as greek mythology and he once even through out all of the kids christian books and dvds. The other day I went out to the library and came home with some stuff. He held out his hands and asked what I had. I told him nothing he'd be interested in. He grabbed it and started yelling at me because I had gotten the dvd Creatures that defy evolution. I don't know what to do, he treats me like I am so stupid....

Prayers would be appreciated also any advice anyone might have. I am feeling so lost at this moment...

Hi Amber

And welcome to UY at CCF!

We (the regulars) usually use the Check In 2 thread to chat and share stuff.

But feel free to start new thread and share as little or as much as you feel able.

I am sure some of the ladies will drop by to give advice soon!

In the mean time I am praying for you!

Amber,

I also want to welcome you to the Christ-Centered Forum. Your situation is now on my prayer list. If there is anything that we can do to help you in this situation, feel free to ask. That is why we are here. And as Pete56 has no doubt told you we have a number of those who fall into the category of UY and it isn't considered or treated like the unforgivable sin here.

Hi Amber . . . I'm partial to that name since I have an "Amber" in my household.

I, as always, have no words of wisdom. Only sympathy . . . well, more like empathy, I guess. Sounds like you're in a rough situation . . . don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. I think it says in I or II Timothy (I'd look it up if I wasn't so lazy) that we're called to have a spirit of courage, not timidity . . . or words to that effect. It's true. If you stand up for what's right with firmness, but yet gentleness at the same time, and pray all the while, I believe you'll get results. Maybe not instantly, and maybe not the complete results you want, but I can say that after . . . how many years now? . . . thirteen years approximately, of my husband behaving in a manor similar to what you've described regarding your husband, I've just now seen in the last few months the beginnings of a softening of his heart. Keep in mind I said the beginnings . . . it's a very long road and I may never see the end of it in this lifetime, but I'm encouraged every time there's even the hint of acceptance--or tolerance (as much as I don't really like that word or subscribe to what it implies)--in his attitude.

Keep the faith. Persevere. I mean, really, what have you got to lose?
