[galaxywarrior]

Please pray for me and myfamily. My name is galaxy. Birth name yes. I have 3 children all members i amnot. Use to be. Was married 12 years to a very abusive man in all phases. Divorced and met an amazing man that iliterally dreamt of before imet him. 3 years later he has shown me what love is up until recently myworl spiraled. Forgive the spelling and writingas i am doing this thru heavy emotion.my children now teens 17,14, and 12 have taken turns for the worse in their sesicions and i find my love eddie is a binge drinker. I have all my kids in therapyand i dont know if eddie and i will last day in and day out. Its so much all at once and if i were to give details youd probably freak out on how ive made it this far. Im done understanding wveryone and trying to fix everything. It doesnt seem to have mattered. All i know is i give up and im numb. I wish eddie wouldnt srink. Trist me when i tell youhe is worth it but i deserve the sober man i knew. He is going thru immese pressure with my kids im aure and work. But where does that leave me? Please pray for my family.

Are you seeking any kind of help to cope? Have you looked into Al-Anon family groups for support?

[Guest LiterateParakeet]

Bless your heart. I am sorry you are going through all of this. I will pray for you and your family. I agree with Eowyn, you need to get some help and support for YOU. It is good that the kids are in therapy, but you need to take care of your needs as well.

I'm so sorry as well for what you have gone through and are going through. I agree with what

Eowyn and LiterateParakeet have told you, as well as you said you where a memeber look up the closest Lds meeting house and call the Bishop and make a meeting to see him. Get all the help you can. I said a prayer for you and your family, but you should pour out your heart to Our Loving Heavenly Father cry out your heart for His Help. You do not need to do this all alone. You can also put your name and your familys name on the Temple prayer list. Salt Lake City Temple and so forth # is 1800-453-3860 ask for the pray roll list and u will be connected.

I want you to know that you do matter, your situation matters, eddie and your children matter!!

God Bless you and your family, dear sister

Galaxy, how awesome you are in that you aren't giving up, but are looking for help. You've come here with the hope of finding some sort of peace in this crazy life. You do not need to get through the next month, or even the next week. Just take things slowly one day at a time. If that seems too overwhelming, work on getting through each hour. One hour at a time.

I also cannot emphasize the importance of prayer. God hears you no matter who you are, what you've done, or what others have done around you. You are his child and he loves you!

Thank you. I did call the temple yesterday after I was on this site. I had a breakdown. I was in my bedroom and couldn't help it anymore and brokedown. I cried and prayed and called the temple.

[galaxywarrior]

Yes I agree with you. I did just pray yesterday. Ican be a proud person and finally I said " Dad, I'm tired" I began to say everything else I felt then my walls came back up because the day wasn't over you know. I tried my best to make a great dinner got some movies got the kids together, let eddie know it was a movie night and well..... the usual. It hurts. An hour at a time is where I'm at. And thank you for your responding. I do appreciate it.

Thank you for keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers. We need it. I am not at that phase of taking care of me right now. I'm more in a stunned phase. I have been remembering to eat. I was losing myself there for a while. I am going to see if I get myself some therapy or some coping program for my circumstance. I just don't have a car. My boyfriend has it and he works many hours so I'm stuck. I have to figure it out.

[galaxywarrior]

No I haven't been. I have been going this alone for a while now. I didn't even know Al - Anon had programs for people like me. I've never had anyone in my family who drank so this entire situation and everything with it is news to me. I never saw it coming. Truly. In 3 years together these 2 to 3 months have had me in a shock state. Its as if I don't know him. And what an exceptional msn he is. It is devastating to me. I will see if there is a place in my area. Thank you.
