I’m asking for prayers for my son-in-law. My daughter just informed me tonight that she’s leaving him this weekend while he’s out of town. I knew they were having problems and she “wasn’t happy,” but I was hoping she’d come to her senses and realize she was being stupid. Unfortunately, she hasn’t. They’re both 32, have been married for 7 years with no kids, and they are employed.
The reason I’m asking for prayers is the way she’s chosen to leave the marriage. He’s coming home Sunday to a note explaining that she’s gone. I love him to death but he’s got a negative outlook on life in general. I know how I’d feel if it happened to me and my heart breaks for him. I believe he also has a gun, although we live in Arizona so who doesn’t?
I’ve been here for over 20 years, including as a lurker, but this is only my second post. I’m really feeling anxious about this situation so I’m asking freepers to lift up Adam in prayer and surround his heart with love to help him get through this dark time. Thank you in advance!
Thank you, bramps.
Thank you.
I’ll pray right now.
She says she hasn’t but that’s the kind of thing she used to do when she was younger so who knows.
Thanks for the advice...and the prayers.
That’s what I told her, but she was adamant that he’d talk her out of it otherwise. There’s no easy way to end it with someone, but at the very least be kind.
Thank you.
Thank you, BlessedBeGod.
There is a reason that she is leaving while he is gone. It could ne the difference between her living and dying. I would trust and support my daughter. You do as you please. How do you know for a fact that he is not of the “If I can’t have her no one else will either”?
Your daughter is choosing one of the safest way to leave.
I will pray that all of you are safe. Prayers up.
Yes, that’s a pretty brutal way to leave. I’ll pray for healing and restoration.
Prayers up for Adam and for you and your daughter.
My advice is to keep your meddling nose out of their business.
I believe her fears are that the Son-in-law will kill himself. That he’d do it out of shock and despair.
I think prayers to avoid that are pretty appropriate.
Prayers for everyone involved.
I don’t think so but it’s certainly a possibility. That’s why I was asking for prayers in the first place. I’m worried about his reaction to the news.
Thank you.
