    Default This is going to sound incredibly selfish

    but if anyone could spare some well wishes that would help incredibly. I need to move, i know it, dh just doesn't get how stressful his family is to me. I tell him over and over and over, he just doesn't get it. It is a constant case of drama here because of their drunken...and sometimes worse...mini series. I don't want to raise the kids here, I am miserable, and tired of it all. So any prayers for DH to open his heart or mind to my side and to remove the blinders that come with th eview to his family, would be greatly appreciated. I just want to move home.

    No, you're not being selfish Melissa, you are entitled to a decent life without all those problems.
    Praying for you!

    You NEED the peace from the drama, especially now. A new baby is going to be plenty of work and it will need all of your love! You do NOT need the soap opera that goes on around you right now. Hugs!

    it's normal to want to be in a supportive environment, especially with your mum there to help. Children learn what they see, you need to be where you feel confident about what your kids are surrounded by. I'll be sending my most persuasive thoughts to your DH's brain, I hope it works.

    Prayers, good thoughts and lots of hugs. It is not selfish of you to want the best for your children or to want a life of peace.

    Melissa, I'll keep you in my prayers. Your wish is not unselfish...I hope your dh can see and understand.

    Missy.

    Have you tried talking to him about this? I'm assuming you have, but you never know What about looking for a job for him back home? He's not happy where he is, what if you start the ball rolling to finding him a job and you a house/apt/whatever to get you back home?

    I have discussed it with him...i've even brought it to point in therapy sessions with him. i might as well be crying to a rock. i just can't handle the stress anymore and I don't think it's fair for the kids to have to live in the environment either. He on the other hand is unwilling to leave his parents.




    So I will continue to pray and work towards that as a goal.
