• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I know this is long, it is a copy of a pm I sent friend. Please read it and give me some advice. I can't take much more!

weird wayne!


Ok, I know this whole message is going to be negative, and I am sorry. I am just so sick of him. He does absolutley nothing here! He will wake up on a Saturday and the kids will be ustairs screaming, and if I don't hear them and get up, he will let make them stay up there. If on the rare occasion he will let them come down so I can sleep, they have to wait for breakfast until I get up. He never does any housework. I came home from bingo tonight and the garbage can was dumped on the floor. He had to walk aroud it to fix supper, but was too lazy to pick it up. I cannot stand a mess, and my house is disgusting, but I can't ddo it by myself. I bought Madeline and Easter dress and she tried it on, came down to show him and he never said a word. He is not the father that I want my kids to have. I keep praying to God for him to change, and I am starting to lose patience. I know God always does things at the right time, but he has to realize I am about to snap. I keep praying and keep forcing Wayne to go to church, and it never helps. I don't know what to do. I am sorry to vent at you, but I have no one else to talk to not even my Mom. I have tried everything to get him to help. He lays on th ecouch all weekend and watches crap on Tv and makes disgusting comments in front of my kids. Tonight, when I came home he was in the living room with Doug and they were watching some disgusting puppet show on comedy central. I have tried so hard to raise christian children and I feel like he is trying to undo it. When I get mad, he always asks if I have forgotten to take my depression meds. That is such an insult. Well, I will end this, but could go on forever. I just want to tell you that it is very difficult to be married to a non-christian, and to really think and pray hard before you do it. I knew that Wayne was weird before I married him, but thought that i could change him. You cannot change someone only God can and I don't know why he won't. I hate to sound this way, but do you ever feel like God is not listening?:cry: I have forgot to take my Zoloft for a few days and that certainly is not helping. I took it tonight, so hopefully I will get straightened out. I realize though that is just makes me numb to the effects of my weird husband. My kids are not and I wish he would straighten up for there sake. He never just grabs Madeline and higs her. He rarely says anyhting positive to her at all. It makes me very sad for her and I love him but am not at all in love with him. I wish I could afford to leave him, but I know that God says we are not supposed to get divorced. And that would be really hard on the keds esp. Doug. So I guess if God doesn't answer my prayers about this, I will just secretly stay unhappy for their sake. Please pray for us. He does not want to change and gets mad at me for going to church to often. He makes fun of me and says I act old. I am just acting like a parent! I have to be 2 parents because he does nothing! :mad: Sorry again but I just needed a friendly ear!

Sounds like a rough situation. Can you see a marriage counselor or maybe find a self-help book on marriage problems? Can you talk to your pastor maybe? Does your church have any resources for married couples?

Also, you say you have no one else to talk to... can you talk to him? What would he say if he read this?

Hi Heather
I wish I could give you a hug, I will be praying for you.
You are in a hard situation. God knows your heart and everything you are going through. You are not alone. God has something in store for you, even though maybe you can't see it yet. Try to hang in there, love on your children. Keep teaching them the things you know they need to learn, keep going to church. You are doing a good job.
Please keep talking to us here. We are here for you.
I just realized this thread continued elsewhere.
I'm wondering how your doing??

Please talk on here if you need to.
Have a Happy Easter

no problem i am so sorry my dad was like that he invited my little brother over to watch the training for cheerleaders in professional football! don't worry all things are possible w/ God i know He is with you and don't fret over Him you just need to plant the seed in your children God will do the rest. And even though he said that as a dagger the best way to turn it around is smile and say yes or no as if you take it that he cares. if it is to be a insult he will regret that move. hang on sweetie
