MissScripture Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I can't explain what I mean right now, because there is someone who doesn't know who might come here and see this, but my family could really use a lot of prayers, particularly my brother and his wife.

MissScripture Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 Thank you all for the prayers. My little sister just was told today, which is why I couldn't explain further, before, but my oldest brother and his wife have decided, after a tumultuous past few years, to get a divorce. And that is the death in our family, the death of their marriage... I love my brother and his wife dearly. He started dating her in high school, and we all loved her, and she was a sweetheart. That isn't to say she isn't at fault, or that she is at fault for their marriage falling apart. I know it's both of them, and lack of trying. But it hurts. It hurts a lot. On top of it, he already has another girlfriend. He is not stable enough to be in any relationship of that sort, if you ask me (or most of my family). He has shut off his emotions. He has depression, and has for a long time, but doesn't really want to do anything about it, aside from taking meds. What it really comes down to is that my brother is too afraid to hurt, and he has to if he wants to get better, so he'll just continue going downhill. And his wife doesn't know what to do and hasn't for quite some time. It's so sad. According to my brother, they have talked about it, and they're both happy about it. But we don't know if he's lying or if she's just acting. I got an e-mail from his wife a few days ago. It said that she didn't know what we'd heard, but she wanted us all to know that she loved us. I sent her an e-mail back, saying that no matter what, she was my sister, because I had be so happy when she and my brother finally got married and I had a sister. I had told her once, back when she was in highschool, that no matter what happened, I wanted to stay friends with her...and that's still true. It occurred to me later, also, that she will always be my sister, even if they didn't ever believe their wedding vows, as my brother now claims, but they made them, and that means that before God, she is my brother's wife, which makes her my sister. It's just tearing at my family and it hurts so much to watch this happen. There's still that faint hope, though, because they haven't actually gotten divorced, or even started the proceedings, yet. Thank you everyone for the prayers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
