Recover marriage, mental/emotional/physical health and remove toxic in-laws ..

[Nalay]

Our family went through a really bad trauma and we still aren't quite out. It impacted us medically/mentally and I have severe episodes of depression and husband has PTSD and almost doesn't feel like the same person. We have very toxic in laws nearby who have made this situation 4x worse but my husband comes from an enmeshed and boundary stomping family and his mom is passive aggressive so he doesn't catch on to the meddling they've done and the toxic and underhanded stuff she has done. No amount of being kind to this woman/family has helped me.. She is very religious (Catholic) but very mean to me and interferes with our marriage in so many ways and manipulates my husband severely. Her influence has caused us financial issues, mental health issues and to nearly divorce several times through the years. I'm disappointed my husband cannot stand up to her but I think he's a victim of grooming and abuse. We have 3 children.. he used to be the most adoring and hands on father before this but he's deep in the pits of depression, dissociation, apathy, paranoia, etc. Our lives have been falling apart.. Please pray that we and our children make a 100% physical and mental/emotional health recovery and fast within the next month .. please pray that God heals my husband's mind and restores him to better than his best self and that he's back on the same page with me as a wife, a united front on everything and enacts extremely strong boundaries against our in laws.. Please pray that our marriage will be even twice as good as it was before this trauma.. Please pray that God peacefully and fully removes my mother in law, father in law, sister in law, brother in law and all of his toxic family from our lives (because our marriage cannot withstand them anymore and I'm becoming chronically ill from the stress).. Please pray that my husband receives interviews and an offer for a higher paying government job and that we move well before winter (my son and I get horrible seasonal depression up northeast).. Please pray that God creates the financial opportunity for us now to fund such a move and please pray for God to remove the spirit of doubt and hopelessness from me that is almost physically crippling... Please pray that my husband is immediately willing to get help/allow me to get him help to heal what I believe to be is PTSD and that we will be 100% fully healed in mind, body, spirit, marriage and health before October comes. Please pray that everything goes up and continues to improve from here slowly and there are no more traumatic dips and lows because my heart and health just about cannot take it.. Please pray my children's wellbeing is fully protected and keep my mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister in law, brother in law and all other people who do not fully and genuinely love me (as their mother) and our family unit far away.. forever.. Please help me pray to save my family and marriage. My 3 children are innocent in all of this and do not deserve to suffer, be somewhere miserable or surrounded by people who have caused immense suffering and discord in our marriage and family unit. Amen

We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you and your family are facing, Nalay. Let us come together in prayer and seek God's will for your situation, believing in the power of Jesus' name.

Firstly, we want to assure you that your faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation for healing and restoration. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" It is through His name that we ask for your family's deliverance.

Let us address the challenges you're facing, remembering that our ultimate goal is to align our lives with God's word. It is clear that the toxic behavior of your in-laws has severely impacted your marriage and family. The Bible teaches us about boundaries and the importance of a united marriage. As it is written in Matthew 19:6 (WEB), "So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart."

### Prayer for Your Family

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine intervention in Nalay's family. Lord, You know the depths of their struggles—the trauma they've endured, the mental and emotional distress, and the overwhelming influence of toxic in-laws.

Lord, we pray for complete healing for Nalay and her husband. Remove the spirits of depression, PTSD, and all other forms of mental and emotional suffering. Restore their minds and hearts, making them whole and renewed in You.

We pray for strong boundaries to be established against the toxic in-laws. Give Nalay’s husband the discernment and strength to stand up against their meddling and manipulative actions. Protect their marriage and make it stronger than ever, for it is a sacred covenant before You.

Father, we ask for financial provision. Provide Nalay's husband with interviews and job offers, especially a higher-paying government job. Enable them to move to a better environment, free from the influence of toxic family members, before winter sets in.

Lord, guard their children. Shield them from the influence of those who do not genuinely love them. Keep them safe, healthy, and joyful, for they are innocent and deserve the best.

We also pray for the removal of doubt and hopelessness from Nalay’s heart. Replace these feelings with Your peace, joy, and unwavering faith. Let Your light shine brightly in their lives, guiding them through this difficult time.

In Jesus' name, we ask for complete healing for their family—in mind, body, spirit, marriage, and health. May their recovery be swift and their lives filled with renewed hope and love.

### Encouragement and Guidance

Nalay, remember the words of Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."

Continue to trust in God's plan for your family. Seek counseling and support from godly individuals who can help your husband identify and address the grooming and abuse he has experienced. Stand firm in your faith and know that God is with you, guiding you through this storm.

May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.

Thank you. I am in tears.. I'm in such a bad spot.. Stay at home mom.. no finances, car or job of my own.. Stuck thousands of miles away from all of my friends and family with nobody on my side.. In laws are not of sound mind.. MIL is mentally ill with no diagnosis and I don't wish her harm but she has caused substantial damage in my relationship. She is in his ear with words of kindness acting like she cares about me and saying all the right things to him.. I just cannot deal with the stress from her now..

I am deathly worried about my husband.. the kids.. the ongoing trauma this is causing.. I will keep in mind that God is with me..
