Hello...

[MauiMamma]

So, I have been thinking about separating from my husband. We have a terrible marriage. No love, lots of hate (toward me). The worst part is I caught him looking at pornography in front of my 3 y.o. son. I have made every attempt to make this work and definitely have left it in the Lord's hands.
Tonight my husband told me he wants a divorce. I have peace with God about this and believe we have been divorced emotionally and physically for a long time.

So if anyone is inclined I have prayer request for my son: that he be protected from ANY harm in this. He is my biggest concern.
My hope is that I get custody with supervised visitation for my husband because he has showed no signs of change and I can't bear my son's innocence corrupted like that.
My husband also has an addiction to online gaming and neglects our son.
I am praying for God's protection, wisdom, guidance, and will be done and what's best for my son. I hope we can at least have peace in separation.

I am in need God's provision because I lost my job recently and I will be on my own soon. Friends and support would be a blessing as well.

I desire God's will and love to saturate my husbands heart and life.

I pray that all of our family members be protected from any damage this divorce could cause.

I just thought I'd drop by and give a little summery of my situation because I have a feeling I'm going to be here for a while and grateful for any support I can get.
Any and all prayers are very appreciated.

God bless every one of you going through similar circumstances.

It seems that your heart is in the right place and I'm impressed.
Even if your husband is a jerk to your son, be prepared for your son to miss daddy. This was my situation when my son was about 5 when I left. His dad was a bully and my son expressed sadness one time when we came home and dad's truck was in the garage. I was shocked and asked my son how he could say such a thing. That was the beginning of a wake up call for me. Even so, a few days after leaving I found my son sitting in the back yard crying with his head in his hands. God hates divorce for a reason, but sometimes it is the best thing to be done.

Thank you so much. Honestly, when my husband isn't participating in such objectionable activities, he's a pretty good father.
I know my son is going to miss is dad. It utterly tears my heart in half. It makes me furious, too. But I cannot FORCE my husband to act in a proper manner and God does not impose His will on us. I can only hope that the momentary pain of separation is less then a life time of it.
I am SO trusting God in this.
A verse that is clearly speaking to me right now is Exodus 14:14:
"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Thank you again for your support, insight and understanding.
