My family / marriage is hurting really bad right now. It's in such a mess it can't be undone without God. We need healing reconciliation. Mercy, grace, spiritual protection. Dismissal, acquittal, or grace and mercy in court outcomes. We have been in this situation so many times before but it always intensifies. We can't break the spiritual grasp the enemy has over us. It has affected every area of our lives. Even more so in my wifes. She is once again bringing toxic hurtful relationships into our life and disregarding our marriage covenant while only looking out for her own wants and desires disregarding what our kids need and has always been healthy for them. Never making decisions based on scripture or other commitments and responsibilities. Feels as though she has never been grounded to the marriage. A lot of the town is suffering for it, my church family is suffering, my sister, my parents are severely suffering as I am. There is nothing we can do it seems, and the court system only is interested in listening to one side. So much is wrong and most the town sees it, but the court won't. I'm afraid for the worst, and what my wife doesn't seem to realize is how exponentially destructive the whole situation is going to be on our children. We have a bunch of kids, and most everyone says they're the best behave kids in town. But they're changing. And they're hurt and anger and resentment someday are going to begin to ruin their lives. Whether it's in a few years or 10 or 20 years. It's going to bring about a lot of pain and suffering. And the biggest part my wife doesn't see is that she'll pay the price for it if not now then for sure later. It breaks my heart to know that's how it'll be later even though she's doing a lot of evil things to me and my family. I still love her and want things to work and be the best we can be. All I want is to have a happy family. She's acted out with the support of our pastor and his wife. It has split the church and adds to the deception and rumors and lies going around. I never thought something could be so ugly as it has gotten. She has lived with my parents part-time for the last 20 years. And almost daily for the past 3 years. She called them Mom and Dad and relied on them for everything. I know there was confusion and frustration sometimes. She let the devil in so much and never controlled her mind. They always tried to do their best to help. Now seems like all has being held against them. Just like it has been with me. Apparently there was no forgiveness and she expected us all to be perfect even though we didn't have the training to deal with what she needed half the time. It became a problem only after she was upset about something else. Then the problem became an explosion escalating in frequency, and drawing momentum from any instance where there may have been hurt or misunderstandings. They were never let down and looked at as we are to do in God's love. She eventually created all the destruction & hurt that she swore to never to do again. I feel no hope.
