Tabitha3319 I wish the best for you. It’s clear that you are hurting and emotional. Work on getting yourself better. I need to stay off forums after 7pm. I'm not a night person ; ). Today will be good though. Perhaps through this trial, many will be saved. That's my prayer this morning. I like to have a good strong cup of coffee with me when I am online, especially at night.
I am believing today will be a good day.

Hi sister boy do I know where you are at this moment in your life. I married at 18 had 4 children by the time I was 27 and was being beaten up on a regular basis by a husband who knew where he could hit me so it didn't show outwardly or the " I walked into a door/wall/lamppost" excuse would sound reasonable I was in a worse position than you as he wouldn't allow me to go to work and I had no money of my own so he controlled everything even to timing me when I went shopping and woe betide me if I was 5 min " late " even though I had all the children with me and had to walk everywhere. He also had affairs ( even a child with one woman when we had only been married a little over a year ) When this was happening the law was very much against a woman ( there was no criminal offence for domestic abuse or rape within a marriage ) God allowed me to put aside a few pence a week even if it meant going without food myself to do so and told me to be ready ( hence even today I have a emergency bag ready so I can leave anywhere at a moments notice ...comes in handy if anyone needs to go to hospital in a hurry lol ) Finally he got so drunk one night he hit me in the face and the ribs and did such a job on me that there was no way it could be passed as an accident (broken jaw, fractured skull several broken ribs and bruises everywhere else ) then he fell asleep drunk and I was able to grab my 4 children ( the youngest was a little over 1 year old the oldest 7 ) nd get to my doctors surgery and hide there till it opened . ( God sent one of the doctors there a couple of hours before it was due to open as she needed to pick something up that she had forgotten to take home \0/ ) I was left at 27 with 4 young children, no job preciouses little money and no marketable skills hiding in a women's refuge n fear of being found BUT PRAISE GOD no longer being abused Did I miss the physical side of a marriage ? yes after a few years of recovery but my choice was to remain celibate hard though it sometimes was when I felt alone and overwhelmed by responsibilities or at times like Christmas or when I was invited to weddings or celebrations when it felt like everyone was part of a couple and I was the only single Is it hard ?? YES YES YES but in the end it does get easier and is so worth it I am now 66 and have been alone in the sense of not having a partner for almost 40 years, but I feel and am so very blessed Could I have remarried ? well my church said yes ( and they were not the sort to be lenient on those not following the bible ) as he had committed adultery but it was not what I felt God saying to me. We each have to live according to our belief but please wait and make yourself a life without relying on a man so if you then decide to find a partner you are not doing it out of loneliness or a perceived need for comfort but at least would be doing it because you really are in love and will have taken time to pray it out If you need to shout or talk you have many friends here to do so with and REAL friends that will not just tell you what you think you want to hear at the time but will give you honest and biblically based answers or just listen to you if that is what you need xxxxx
