losing faith

by lina
(ca)

I feel so lost, alone and defeated, everyday. I pray and am thankful for all that i have, but over the last year i have lost a lot and all atempts to better my situatiin have failed. My husband is negative, selfish and addicted to marijuana. I am unemployed, and we barely get by with his paycheck. He spends so much on the marijuana, we lost our apartment and basically homeless. We have a 2 month old daughter. I pray for help but things only get worse. I am still thankfl, but i don't know what to do. I feel like i am being punished.

Time for a new plan
by: Karen

Hi Lina,

I'm sorry things are so difficult right now. It is even more complicated with a child.

Lina, sometimes the very things you're holding on to are the things you may need to let go of. I can surely understand your financial situation and the fact that the little bit of money that is sustaining you comes from him.

However, if he is doing drugs and is not a positive factor in your life or your baby's life, then it's time to make a new plan. Go see your local pastor and see what kind of help is available for you. Talk to your govt assistance office to see if you and your daughter qualify for benefits.

Talk to your local job service office about job training or help in locating a job. I know it's not easy, but when you are married to somebody with an addiction, things aren't going to get any better until you make the decision that you may have to live without him if he doesn't stop the drugs and turn his life around. God never said you're supposed to stay with somebody who puts drugs ahead of you and your child.

Your child needs you to be strong. Start working on a new plan. Listen to your pastor. Hopefully that person will help you lay out your options.

Blessings,

Karen
