Prayer request for my marriage, Request that God will show my husband the truth that his mother is manipulating him to get a divorce. My husband and I had been married over 20 years. I use to be close to my mother in law until I started to realized her true colors. My friends stop coming over because she would tell my husband that my friends and I made her the eyeball which it’s a lie. Everytime I ask her to go out with me get a pedicure or a massage she always have excuses not to go. So I stop asking or calling or texting. I just didn’t feel the need to keep asking someone if they don’t want anything to do with me. My kids are not allowed to come home to even visit because my mother in law filled my husbands head with lies. My younger son had a conversation with my mother in law just a few days ago. But she didn’t want to hear the truth. My mother in law thinks my husband is never wrong that his perfect. My husband feels the same way about his mother. My mother in law would constantly tell my husband that I don’t like her, I don’t call her I don’t want her to move in. But yet I gave up my master bedroom for her to move into. But everytime I try to tell my husband the truth about his mother, my husbands either threaten to beat me up or even beat me up because I am not allowed to say anything about his mom. So now I have completely shutdown. I don’t ask about his mom, I don’t say anything at all. Even when she comes over I don’t say anything at all, I just say hi and bye. What is there for me to say. Nothing, I am afraid to even say anything so the best way to be is be quiet. Now all of a sudden my husband split our bills since he makes more money then me. I took a job with a pay cut for a piece of mind. Now my husband knows I barely make that much money but his showing off and telling me that his tired of paying everything but yet all these years when I use to make more money I never care to me was my money is his money everything is 50/50. But now over 22 years later, I’m struggling to pay bills at my house because of what my mother in law tells my husband, not to pay for anything for me. But it’s funny when I buy something I don’t ask him for anything. I bought it for the both of us. And not even thinking twice of about my husband giving me money. So from here on out, I promise myself to keep my head up and pray that God keep happiness in my heart. And keep pressing to get a better paying job soon. But it’s okay if I’m still stuck where I’m at, God see my heart. What I don’t know is this mother in law of mine goes to church every Sunday for 3 hours. Makes you wonder, why are these people going to church but they are very manipulative. I gained so much weight from all the stress mentally and physically. The mental abuse and physical abuse from my husband all because of his mom. But she comes over and act if she never done anything wrong. She seen her son my husband beat me but didn’t even bother stopping him or said anything. She acted like nothing happen. She will be moving in to our home soon, into my master bedroom as soon as it is renovated. But it’s okay, I’m fine with it I will have to tolerate all the abuse and everything else and just pretend that I’m okay. Because I cannot express my feelings to my husband anymore about it. My mother in law is here today, I stayed upstairs in my room, was it wrong of me to do this. I know my husband will yell at me as soon as she leaves today for not coming downstairs to greet her. I’m the type of person I cannot pretend to like someone like that. But I am ready to get abuse after she leaves I will just stay silence. She is controlling me through her son my husband. I pray for peace in my heart and strenght to get back in shape. I just want happiness how me and my husband use to be. When I see my kids I have to meet them else where because of this. Lord I pray I have peace and happiness in my heart regardless of all this. I just pray and hope that my husband a mamas boy will see the truth and see how really conniving and manipulative his mother is. It doesn’t matter how many good things I do for this lady, as far as she concern I am a bad person. That I should do as she said.
