I also have fibromyalgia and Hep C. I have had my neck broke and fused and my back operated on. All of which should have me paralyzed, if not dead, but God brought me through. It took continuing faith in Him, but He came through. I say this in hope to encourage you to not give up. My breakthrough came after I gave up everything that did not bring honor to Him. This was done by the changing of my heart and mind through the work of the Holy Spirit. He brought to me convictions of what I was holding onto that allowed sin into my life. God Bless! In His Love, Alan i understand what your sayin but i dont feel like that.......latest problem i have torn muscles in my spine and a torn rotatorcuff im crippled and cant walk real well. my wife has a cold...and she makes me cook dinner for everyone while she lays down on the couch and watches tv......how can GOD help me when i gotta live with this crap.....oak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the head of the house and have every reason to put your foot down. Not doing so only encourages her to continue abusing you. That, my friend, is your choice.

Love yourself enough to defend yourself against husband abuse. Feed yourself, feed the children, but let her fend for herself. She will get the message.

I agree; if someone is that insensitive they need a dose of reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
