[__ Prayer __] So depressed, Family falling apart

I am so depressed that my heart feels literally heavy in my chest and I can hardly hold myself together. I just moved into a new apt with my husband and our 11 month old daughter. My husband is bipolar. He was sick this summer and I had to leave with our baby, she was only 3 months old, and stay at a shelter. He destroyed all of my things and was so aggressive and crazy. He is such a wonderful man when he is well. He came back home after being hospitalized in Novemeber and we moved into March.1st.

I was so happy. I found out that we are expecting another baby, and then THE NEXT DAY, only a week after we moved into in- he starts acting weird again. Truns out he stopped his meds, started smoking pot and drinking. He spend over 1000 dollars, and we are poor. I had to get a restraining order. He is now in the hospital again.

Our daughter turns 1 and he wont be at her party. I am pregnant and alone. I am so sad. I miss him so badly, and I just want our life back before he got sick. I love him but I cant stand this anymore. My heart is so broken. Plus, my daughter and I have been really sick lately- she had a high fever on and off for two days. I am just so lost, so hurt, so broken and depressed.

I am trying to hold onto God and stay strong for my babies. I just dont know how I can get thru this. Please pray for us. Please pray for his healing and my strength, thru Christ. Please pray for the health of my daughter and my unborn baby. Please pray that God provides for us. Thank you.
 
Hi stefanierose88 welcome to CFnet, i am so sorry about your husband and his sickness and i pray he will soon get better and be with you his family. May the Lord watch you and care for you through your pregnancy, you are in our prayers now . Hold on to this verse 1 Corinthians 10: 13

"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
 
Hello stefanierose88,
All of we very sorry for your recent situation. Take care of you and your coming baby. You have to strong yourself and be patient. When your baby will come he/she must come with smile for your family. I am praying for change your situation.
 
Praying for you! And I ask you to remember to pray for yourself! Depression comes from feeling helpless and hopeless. Give your worries to God! When we put our problems in God's hands, we can let go of the need to be in control and then we can focus on what is and not worry about what was or might be. Ask your husband to pray with you. Ask God to lead you and help you become who he created you to be! Do you have problems? Sure! But you are also blessed! God will help you recognize it if you let him!
 
I will be praying for you and strength to care for your family. Also that God will comfort you through this difficult time.

God will be with you, and He knows the situation. Furthermore, He loves you and nothing can take that away. Nothing is too difficult for God, and do not lose hope. Keep seeking Him.
 
Wow, sorry you are going through this, I am praying for you.

I went through something almost exactly the same thing. I kept praying for things to get better until one day I was praying to survive when my bipolar husband came after me and our baby with a loaded weapon. He was detained by police and spent a week in a mental hospital. We separated with a restraining order for our protection and I lived in fear he would come after me until he took his own life 7 months ago. I still have a big white plaster patch on my wall where the hole he shot through was repaired.

You need to keep the safety of yourself and your children first priority. If he isn't doing what he needs to and things get worse, you may need to consider getting an order of protection and separate until he is on the right path towards getting better. I know that seems harsh, but I speak from experience and I came very close to losing my life and my son did to. I know you love him and I know he is a wonderful guy when he's well, but you need to be safe.

Msg me anytime if you like. Take care, be safe, and I'll be praying.
 
stefanierose,

My friend went through a VERY similar situation with her husband. This went on for years. She found a group at a church called Celebrate Recovery. It has changed her life. She isn't divorced from her husband, but she is now in the process because he is a danger to their children now. See if you have a CR group in your area and attend a meeting. It has strengthened her faith and made such a difference in her life.
