i made a promise to god and myself, i would never divorce...my own mom put me through 9 divorces as a kid and i swore i'd never be like her and give up...i've been with my husband through the dry drunk stages and drunk stages....ive been with him through the DT's and have spent most of my time trying to keep him from depression...
am i paying for what my mom did????  is there a curse on him and me????
 
where is god???? am i doing it all wrong???? he wont go to a therapist and he doesn't seem to want to help himself....im so tired and beyond....im scared he will die or he will losing his job (which is keeping us going financially) because i found out he's drinking before, during, and after....
 
the only good part...he remembers god and i know god is talking to him....my husband heard a sermon on the radio one day and it says in there that god wont let drunks into the kingdom of heaven.....then i started thinking....would i not be accepted too because we are one flesh????? man made "til death do us part" but did god approve that?????? 
 
im so tired and such a bad depression....my head wont shut off and i just want to sleep forever....god will you take me now?????? i keep asking for you too......

oh hon I am feeling bad for you right now, his sins are not your sins. My husband drinks but too the point where he is drunk all the time. One of these days your hubby is going to wake up after GOD talks to him. don't ever loose faith he is there holding you up and you know you can vent it out here everyday if need be. :) that is what we are here for to talk with and get it off your chest.
 
I know that you don't want to divorce your hubby but if that is the answer in which you are being led, don't feel bad about it, GOD has a bigger and better plan for you and he doesn't want you to down yourself. for you are a unique and beautiful person. he sees your tears and he wants you to never loose hope or faith in him.

hugs to you both.....if im faithful to my husband god will be faithful to me i think...i dont know anymore....i cant divorce him....if i dont keep at least one promise to me....then how can i be true to me....does that make sense? its like will power in a different way....no i dont want to stay miserable and unhappy and crying etc....i just..i dont know ARRRRRRRRRGH i dont know...!!!!
 
he had a previous marriage, before we both gave our hearts to god....we went to an assembly of god church and it became our home church....god helped him to dry out....the assemblies tell us that we cant divorce otherwise its considered sleeping around....i dont know what to believe or think.....now my mother is on me who is a lutheran reminding me of how my grandmother stayed with her alchholic husband until she died......i wish i knew and i wish god would talk to me like he used to in my heart.....but he only talks when it has to do with another person other than me or is that my imagination because im caught up in trying to find different ways to make my husband see me again.....i dont know.....i dont know....
