At least he's trying and as it's been said he appears to care for you all very much. <BR/>Long story but my sons dad died from alcohol poisoning, I had to leave him him before it happened as I could not hope to save him from himself and did not want myself and my son to go down with him. So I know something of what you are going through. (Obviously would hope for a much brighter outcome for you all).<BR/> You are very strong though and bloody marvellous so he's lucky you are still around for him.<BR/>I hope Father of this lot finds a way to do without anything addictive and to realise just what he is missing out on.<BR/>*hugs*Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04709117386653876640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141379598781628847.post-54753617368640668442008-04-13T16:32:00.000+01:002008-04-13T16:32:00.000+01:00Love is not enough.

I thank you for your Protective hand on them and over their lives. Father, I ask for you to give Jackie wisdom in regards to her husband. Help her to have wisdom and understanding that could only come from you. Watch over and keep her Lord-draw her close and let her be blessed by a close relationship with you. <BR/><BR/>Father, help her to come to you with her troubles, answer her when she calls to you. <BR/><BR/>Father, please give the revelation that is needed to her husband, help him to see that he is missing out on this beautiful wife and family of his. You are in the changing business Father, so I ask for you to soften his heart and to draw him to a place of repentance and change. Nothing is impossible for you.<BR/><BR/>Fresh vision, Lord, let your Spirit come and change hearts and lives. Let them never be the same again.<BR/><BR/>In Jesus' name-amen.</I><BR/><BR/>KimmieKimmiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04462108880167593207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141379598781628847.post-44950424654747713252008-04-13T02:00:00.000+01:002008-04-13T02:00:00.000+01:00Hoping he leaves ALL of his mistresses behind.

I haven't been visitng long, as you know. You have such a cheerful, amusing site, I would not have guessed that you were in such a difficult situation. How do you find time to blog?<BR/><BR/>My husband took to drinking more than was good for him, when work became more stressful than I could possibly describe. I don't know why a lot of men (and some women, I suppose I should add) turn to drink to ease their stress etc, when everyone knows that drinking causes a myriad of extra problems, but certainly never solves any. I hope everything turns out well for you!Mean Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829239249872290230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141379598781628847.post-55416619866550973432008-04-12T17:42:00.000+01:002008-04-12T17:42:00.000+01:00It's sad isn't it, to know what a great person som...It's sad isn't it, to know what a great person someone could be if they would leave their vices behind.

Marriage just makes one incredibly vulnerable, more so than anything else I can think of. How do you balance LOVING someone - and if you do try to balance it, is it the same thing? How do you protect yourself - and risk all that love requires at the same time? And then throw in children to the mix, and all those new little hearts. Whew.<BR/><BR/>I'll say a prayer for you tonight that you will be wise and hopeful and strong. Love seems like a simple thing, and yet it's so very complicated, really, and hard to define - does love let go, or does it hold on? does it speak up, or be quiet? And so I'll pray for you to have great discernment, too.<BR/><BR/>And I'll pray for the Father of this Lot that he will come back to his senses and back to his home and back to happiness and real life and all that good stuff that's waiting for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141379598781628847.post-62457920310813022092008-04-11T23:58:00.000+01:002008-04-11T23:58:00.000+01:00So wonderful to hear he is trying!
