I married at a tender age to help my mom when our father

left us with a promise of greener pastures but never came back.As an exchange i devoted my time and 25 hrs of my day to my husband but when his family wanted a piece of him they created havoc in our family which my husband believed.I must say i spent all my days being a homebody i learned to love for i follow whatever he desires.I treated him like a king in all aspects.But it started 5yrs ago he was asking for separation but i quietly stayed.but after deep emotional harrassments i finally said yes.His ego was greatly touched because why would someone like me with not even a cent agree to leave…I simply need my self respect back.Now his plan is to shove me to the ground waiting for me to crawl back…i wont.But financial wise i have nothing.I have a small pastry delivery business before but now it has no moving capital.I was on the go for an small apron/potholder business now all put into halt for there are days i really have none.I’ve been losing hope that HE up there listens to me…All my life all i ever wanted is to be needed and live my life for others first but why is this happening to me???I am merely holding on to a promise that after the rain will be a rainbow but for how long???

At least you still have desires, wants. It`s still better than the other way. I`m still curing myself for my cold hard and sometimes pitch black heart for years now. In a shorter version: I also wanted to get married at a tender age, but I resisted. So I remained to serve my friends and family. The only thing written on my paycheck was “treason”. Then I started to get in and out of depression.

OK, some advise: MOVE TO THE GREATEST POSSIBLE DISTANCE COMPARED TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

Not running :P Consider this as a change scenery, as a permanent vacation ;)

The only thing any of us have is hope for a better future. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders. Maybe it is time to take care of you.

first of all, one should not live his life for someone. life is given bec we deserve to live. a lot of these unfortunate times happen bec we let other people take control of our thoughts–which should never be. i was hoping u were okay days ago. how is everything? has something else happened?

I am down and getting deeper…all i ever mastered here is the art of hiding my pain…when deep inside i am shattered….i was down to zero and soon negative…i hate to but sometimes i can’t help asking why this had to happen…I used to live a simple life happy with simple things like waking up in the morning…having cooked a nice meal for them…..now i feel so bad that i feel robbed of my simple pleasures in life…As if i live day to day always afraid what the next hour would bring…

as of the moment what else are u specific concerns? financaly would there be some support system from relatives or friends who u can count on or at least give u a rod to hold on to. it’s true that sometimes we really need to be with pain and live with it for the moment bec that pain itself will help us see things through. i can’t tell yyou to shun away from everything u are going through right now bec that is beyond our control but in your end i think there are other things that can be done. there is no assurance in this life. anyone must know that the next day is always of no promises. but dealing with it is a process. it has always been that way.

Thank you so much i appreciate all from you…i bake and deliver pastries but now it’s the rolling capital i am missing…i was hoping to get a loan of 20thousand pesos and much to my dismay they have no cash…ohhh i have stopped my helping my older brother’s family too withh the litlle of what i can….now i learned he is being harassed by pointing a gun to his face by their old landlord..my eldest son got a job but was fired due to a 2 minute late…my ex stopped the mere hundred dollars each allowance of my kids noting it is vacation…when will this ever end…when will my cries ever stop…well i cry when i am in bed for the last thing i wanted is for them to see that i am losing hope…but i am…what pains me most is when i cannot comfort another’s sorrow because i myself is in great pain…and when i am i retreat to my own shell…

Financially i need a jumpstart to make my source of income rolling again…I used up my small capital for paying bills.I believe in the saying…teach them to fish…my baking and selling pastries plus my planned apron/potholder business was halted when all seems to be pouring in…Whatever help will be appreciated and time will come i will be able to pay…Here in our place loans get a big interest monthly and am trying to settled each one even paying a little but with the interest even at 10% monthly it seems i am not moving farther…But when my small business will be able to roll,i can at least catch up….Thank you so much even the mere words lessened some burden….

Hello, your story sounds like mine and I hope I can give you advice.

I lived alone for 6 years, trapped in a home that I hated. What changed my life is when I stood up for myself and left my husband.

I really feel your story and I’m very sad for you, I really hope you have the guts to leave him someday or you’ll lose yourself.

I have read all the posts and am so sorry that i cannot help you more. If I had money I would give it to you. I lived 12 years in an abusive marriage. I let him control my mind and in the end my thoughts and i cried nightly for an answer. Thank God i had my jobs and my kids to keep me half way sane.

I left 4 years ago with three children because he beat me so badly and I swore he would never control me again. I spent alot of times reading books on self esteem. One really good book is where is god in the hardtimes. Another good one is The purpose driven life. These are good books to help you through the tough times and start to pick yourself up.

Try to focus on good things all the time train yourself to tell yourself something good. I know that can be hard in a life where things are always bad and getting worse. It takes time but i was where you are. I started telling myself that good thing for day was i woke up. Then i would find more good things about the day or my life. soon you will find more good in a day than bad. It will be hard for awhile but YOU WILL GET THROUGH IT.

I adore the strength that you have. it is something i do not possess. you are one strong woman so capable of facing odds in life. i am overwhelmed on how u see things and just make use of what is there. u could say that u won’t have any choice but to give up–but u never gave up. u spent lowly nights crying for help. but those tears they made u stronger. u used the down moments to think and hope and feel better. i wish i can be like that. thank you angel, u have made a great help for me today.

Thanks too lilies for it makes me feel good that somehow…i helped someone in my own little way…I maybe a small voice in my own little world but I learned that in this road I am travelling …tears are simple ways to wash my eyes and make me realize that pain is a way of telling me I am alive…and being alive I can give…I can share…I can feel…I can love ..but most of all I can be happy…
