Comment on How Do I Honor An Abusive Parent? by Robin Ewers

Robin Ewers — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:16:52 +0000

my parents mistreated me so much. Even now as an adult I carry so much pain with me from what they caused. They take no responsibility at all. I have a relationship with them but it makes me sick at times. I can’t decide what to do. Cut ties or not. I feel so conflicted and I ask God daily for wisdom.

I hope all of you ladies are doing well. I wanted to begin a new thread regarding acceptance. i have been prating and doing the best I can to remain patient. ALthough I know that my husband being diagnosed with AS is something that poses problems in our relationship, I also know that no person is perfect and we all yearn to be accepted for who we are. So I am really trying to look pat the ‘problems’ and focus on what I DO get in my relationship….. Anyone have thoughts?

Comment on A Wounded Heart by Jeanne Sumstine

I have tried but the hurt is still there.
My husband is not a Christian.
His words are twisted and turned in a way
that it makes me look like the villain I am not the
villain.
I do not know where to go for help and being a chronic
pain patient makes its harder. I cannot work, I tried for a year. My surgery left me worse. As I have said before I do not know who to go to. I pray for Jesus’s intercesion. and it does not come. I keep praying.

I’m glad I could be an encouragement to you Elizabeth. It seems to me that your husband is feeling insecure. I used to be angry at my husband because he is so gifted in helping others with their problems, but when it came to himself he didn’t have a clue and he would be so out of touch about himself. I expected him to know better but now I see what God can do in a person’s life in spite of autism. I see his spirit growing enabling him to reach out to me a bit more even though he still doesn’t get emotion. My prayer for your husband would be that he would experience healing and the grace of God – I know its hard when you feel like the one who has been abandoned and rejected. You have clearly been a great mum to your kids. I trust all of the ladies here will find a measure of comfort in sharing openly. As we agree together in spirit, we can know that God is with us. May He bring us all into more revelation and freedom!

Thank you, Scintilla.
I think I married my husband for many of the same reasons. I’m glad to read that you have come through the darkest times and are stronger because of it. Thank you for not passing judgement on me. I know we have built good things in our marriage…I’m just trying to figure out how the synergy we once had that has brought us wonderful kids has just seemed to transfer itself to another place. We are like strangers that created a beautiful painting together and are now standing apart and separate looking at it on a wall. Sometimes it seems that we are in competition…I’m admiring the creation and feeling happy about it, and he’s standing there, apart and distant, wanting artistic credit. He seems so resentful of our children and their success. He’s mad that we’re paying so much for their college educations. He doesn’t think they’ve had to work as hard as he has. He deserves his expensive toys and sports car.
What happened?
