My wife asked the judge for permission for me to attend my daughter's preschool graduation. Since we apart at the time I thought it would be a good idea to support my daughter. My wife and I sat a different sides of the room and it was ackward; we are not allowed to communicate. My son, whom is two, saw me and ran to sit with me and when it came time for my daughter to choose where to sit she choose me. I'm not there at home so they want all the time they can get from me. My wife at the end of the function said to my daughter in an abrupt tone, "Get your stuff, we are leaving now!" I was shocked. I spent two hours crying because of the lack of love there. I guess she felt threatened. I honestly did not try to abuse the situation. I need prayer for us. She says she wants to work things out, but this feels like a step back. Please pray for us. I love my wife and am sorry for the pain that I caused her from my alcoholism. I have been clean for 45 days and plan to go a lifetime.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
I really need prayer

That's great that you were there for your daughter. Your wife may have felt a little threatend that your children went to you. She needs to remember that children are involved and seek the love and comfort of both parents. Pray for her heart to soften towards the situation.
You should be proud of yourself that you have decided to take a step in the right direction for your family and yourself. Alcoholism only can cause destruction to you and those around you. Pray for God to strengthen you on your journey.
You and your family will be in my prayers.
God Bless

Well, I found out that my wife was threatened by the fact that the kids came to me. She believes that I was unwilling to share the children at the event and will not listen to anyone's reason. Please continue to pray.

First...awesome, and congrats on your 45 days of being clean. That is so great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be praying that things do not solidify with the divorce. As hard as it is at times, just really pray for a soft heart and understanding and compassion for where she is in the relationship and her hurt. Constantly show love towards and about the children (that's not hard
Keep your eyes where they need to be focused...Christ.

Just keep taking it day by day and remember Satan is in every bottle just trying to seduce you. Never consume him again.
Also, I don't know how many times you and your wife discussed your drinking, and how many promises were made and broken in the past ... but actions speak louder than words. Just keep silent and lead by actions jaspen ... I'll keep praying for all of you involved.
I've had many of my military friends struggle with the bottle ... I've seen some pull marriages out of the ashes. It's not impossible. Ahhhhh, but then, with God nothing is impossible!
