The antidepressants are helping, but I still don't see a way out of
this mess. Bottom line, I want this marriage to work. It would take a
series of great miracles and I don't hold any hope any more. That leaves
me with my second choice. I want out. I don't want to hurt him. I don't
want to be the one to break up this fragile family. I don't want to
take the financial hit. But even more I don't want to live with him
knowing that even a little honesty from me sends him to that place of
anger and hate.
I think we are getting close. Melody is
terrified of him after he cornered her in his truck telling her the
world is ending in 5 weeks. She was in tears. I confronted Mark and his
response was he needs to talk to her again, in part to correct the wrong
things I told her when she asked me about it. I apologized to Melody
for betraying her confidence. Grace and I decided that Mark no longer
gets time alone with her. She doesn't want to be around him at all.
Grace insists the issue is off-limits but we both know World War III
will be unleashed when that restriction is imposed. So we'll avoid it as
best we can. But this might be the big one. The right approach is so
clear yet he is so set on his views I don't think he'll bend.
Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.
My
prayer all day has been reminding myself and telling Jesus that I trust
Him even though I don't understand this and I don't see a way out. But I
acknowledge that He knows what He is orchestrating and I trust Him to
direct my path.
