Prayer Request
1/12/10 | mouse1

Posted on 01/12/2010 8:52:01 AM PST by mouse1

Please pray for my husband and daughter. I dont know what to do anymore. In April of 2009 he had what I call "a breakdown". His physician believed he may have had a stroke due to the drastic personality changes, but he refused to go for a brain scan. He became paranoid that he is being watched, his mail is being opened.....the list goes on and on. He no longer felt safe where we live, so we packed up and moved to northern Wisconsin. He was on medication until recently. It helped but it still didnt seem like my husband. On Saturday he announced he could not stay here. It is "unsafe" and he is in "danger". He left and I have not heard from him since. He called our daughter to say he is staying with his sister. Unfortunately, she wants nothing to do with him. Our girl is only 14 and I know this is taking its toll on her. She is a good girl, honor roll, student council. We have been thru alot in the past five years, both physically and financially. But since he left there is a calm in the house. I dont know what to do. I love my husband and take our marriage vows seriously, but I cant live like this and I dont want our daughter to be hurt or confused. Please pray for us. Thanks and God Bless!

“The hard truth is that we can’t let a sinking family member take us down with them.”

In sickness and in health.

You can’t discard a spouse because he or she gets sick on you.

Mouse1 said he has left and she hasn't heard from him. He refuses help, or medication. She allowed him to uproot the family, and relocate because he felt he was being watched by unknown persons who were dangerous.

It hardly sounds as if she has discarded him. Her number one priority as a parent is to the welfare and safety of her minor child.

Prayers are certainly in order for the family, but to safeguard her child against any violence, abduction, or harm from an unstable parent comes first.

“It hardly sounds as if she has discarded him.”

My remarks were not addressed to Mouse1, for whom I have the greatest sympathy.

I was replying to note 54 in which Melian said, “The hard truth is that we can’t let a sinking family member take us down with them.”

“Prayers are certainly in order for the family, but to safeguard her child against any violence, abduction, or harm from an unstable parent comes first.”

Goes without saying.

Of course you can’t discard a spouse because he or she gets sick on you. But you can’t let your sorrow over the person kill you or destroy your own life. That was my point. No matter what, you have to go on in the best, healthiest way possible.

If you don’t, you can’t be much help to the ill loved one— or yourself.

This is especially true in the case of a mentally ill or drug-addicted loved one.

Okay, I took it differently at first. Glad I was mistaken.
