Evil comes in many different forms.

Anyone find out how loving wife is doing in the hospital?
-
When she tries to interupt or get off track and/or change the subject, say, "Yes, we can talk about that later, but right now we were talking about "****" and get back to the subject that you needed to talk about. if it doesn't work, then just walk away when it happens and when she ask why, tell her "You were interupting me, so I understood that you were not interested in anything I had to say." Put the shoe back on her foot. If she is doing it to you, she must be doing it to everyone. It's time she breaks a very bad habit. Let us know what you try and how it all works. Good luck. Use prayer and a blessing if you need one. FC

P.S. It would also be nice to know if you like dogs and cats.

Hi, nice to meet you. Would you please tell us a little bit more about yourself? Things like where are you, are you married and what is your favorite food? FC

Thank you for the update. Please let us know what is happening with your wife. It must be so hard for you and your family. Please know that you too are in our prayers and thoughts. As I have said, it can get better, but it will take time and work. Please take extra good care of yourself at this time. FC

Hyrum Smith's widow blessed an ox after it had fallen in it's traces and died. The animal was able to continue pulling until it reached the great Salt Lake. Not only was it an animal that was blessed, but it was a woman that had blessed it for there were no priesthood holders with her at the time.

Thank you for letting us know. I know she was in a great deal of pain. Is there anything we can do? Has anyone put her name on the Temple Prayer list? FC

Sounds as if he was seeing how far he could push you until you said no. It was really hard, but you did the right thing. Lots of prayers are coming your way. Please go get a blessing for yourself. You need all the strength and help you can get. FC

I think until you have been there, you really can't quite understand the pain that a suicidal person is feeling. Most people that commit suicide don't actually want to die, rather they are trying a very ineffective way to stop the hurt. I once was there a long time ago. I have been through several therapists, medications and self help groups. One thought that helped me have a better perspective was understanding that where ever my mind, thoughts and spirit were at death, would become the point at which I would still have to work through all of my issues. After death it is far harder to do what it is that we can more easily do with an earthly body. Please don't quit. I know it is hard, but there is the potential for your life to improve and become so much better. It will take a lot of work, it isn't easy, but it is possible and worth every bit of effort and work. If you can't find what you need, keep looking. You will become your own best advocate. You can do it. FC

Sounds as if you are going through a great many struggles. I was married once to a man that forbid me to have anything to do with the church. It even got to the point where I was physically abused over it. One of the things that I could and did do was find what I could like and gain from the situation (forced to go to his church) and studied that and used that to my best advantage. Are you in scouting? Do you enjoy that? Like history? Learn that. Cooking and suvival? Learn that. Travel and what is going on in the world? Learn that. The list is long and I am not going on, but it seriously sounds that you need a councelor to work through some of the issues that you have with your mom. I am concerned that you say that you are a great liar and have no regrets about some of your behaviors. You sound as if you are acting out against the church. I think you are acting out against your mom. You are not a freak, but struggling. We all struggle.
-
It sounds as if you are more wanting to get away from the pressures your mother is putting on you than possibly the church itself. All I can say is you need to find a secret place of your own and create some down time.

We always knew you were a rare gem of a man.

I can understand how hard it is to fit in. I miscarried a baby I desperatly wanted and made the mistake of going back the first time after it happened on Mother's Day. I was so hurt already and doing that made the pain even worse. I wish you well. Remember sometimes the best thing to do is take baby steps. You will still get there, just may take a little longer, that's all. FC

Welcome. I am so glad you found us. Enjoy. FC

Your daughter is far wiser than her years. I wish the adults involved could share her wisdom.

I have done come college in a classroom and I took an online course so that I could become a certified caregiver. I got a 97% ave on the online course work and a 100% on my certification test. If I could do it all over again, I would do it in a classroom. In a classroom you can ask immediate questions and quickly get answers to problems. You also have a lot of varied experiencce in your fellow classmates. They may be able to teach you things the coursework on-line may not be able to. Time wise it is not as flexible to go to a classroom, but I think I learned much more by being in one.

I'm glad the VA helped. If necessary, she should use restraining orders to help prevent verbal and other abuse. She should be able to get restraining orders in her children's name for their protection. She should make sure the school will not release her children to his family. And she should document what is going on with names, places and time that things happened. A month after his suicide is a short time to decide to announce an engagement, but what really matters most is her children. Your sister needs to feel safe and from what you have described, that hasn't been in her home for awhile now. She may have announced her news as a way of getting people to "back off." Could you put her name and the children back on the Temple Prayer list again? Use all the resources she can to get the help her and her family needs.

I hope you are able to make and keep copies of everything and I mean everything. Text messages, phone messsages, letters, notes and anything else you might think that is important. If your children have negative behavior after visiting dad, journal that as well. Journal about what you are doing to care for your children. It might be a good thing to do trades in a public place. That will help your ex to behave better during trade (hopefully it will be easier on the children) and if nothing else, give you witnesses on bad behavior.
I know it is hard for your children, but they may be blessed to know and to never ever do this to their children. Breaking the cyccle of abuse is hard, but it is possible.

I'm not sure what you are asking? Are you talking about what comes after dating? What happens if you would marry? To be sealed in the temple you would have to be a member a year with a temple recomend. I am just curious and if I am wrong about anything I have said, please correct me. I hope the two of you greatly enjoy your friendship and relationship. FC

I think it is the most amazing story. The best part is that the children will get the best of everything, especially love and caring from those that matter the most to them.

Lots of prayers for you and your family noche10. Please keep us updated on how your brother and you are doing. FC

Just another single divorced mom welcoming you here. One thing that helped me was the fact that I realized instead of using the time fighting with my hubby and being very unhappy, I chose to use that time to work on the relationship between me and my children. And also used the time to do somethings for myself. Everything will work out in time. Welcome. FC

It took a great deal of courage to say what you said. You took a step towards getting better. Keep going! FC
