if you could. My wife had been going through some tough times the last three years. She was physically abaused by somebody her parents trusted from the time she was eight till she was fourteen. When she was 15 she snapped and spent a month and a half in a psychiatric hospital. While there she was raped by one of the orderlies. When she was 17 she was raped by a boyfriend at gunpoint. She soldiered on without telling anyone all of it till about three years ago when just crumbled before my eyes. I've stuck with her through two suicide attempts, the medicine roulette, therapists and so many hospital stays I lost count. She finally has medicine that keeps the worst of her symptoms at bay without crippling side effects and a good therapist who is helping her deal with the abuse and the rapes. But she's shaken to the core. I try to be resourceful and solve things on my own but
I've seen you guys muster some pretty heavy mojo. If you could just keep her in your thoughts I'd be in your debt. I'm just worn out this morning. I'll feel better tomorrow. Namaste, my Brothers.

Frank,

Sounds like you're a strong, tired man. Hoping for the best for you both.

consider it done.

She found some good fortune in having you as a husband.
 
As soon as I post this I'll get a little puja going from Titanic II.

Remember, karma takes care of everything.
 
Silverfox,

Please keep hanging on for her!! Eric stood by me the last seven years and I am forever grateful to him. I know at times it seems that she will never get through without taking you down, too, but there is strength out here for you and we are all praying for you and her alike.

May I send her a note on your email? If she doesn't have any other ladies for support try to find some, although sometimes those at the same level depressed me even more.

Take care and God Bless
 
I feel for you. My wife was only mentally abuse from about 8 on by her mom and anybody else who saw her as an easy mark for abuse. She was at the brink of suicide many times, cutting herself, had feelings of worthlessness, meds for depression, then later in a facility for about three weeks, and llots of therapy and counselling. Now meds for Bipolar disorder (was called manic/depressive), seems to help a bunch.

We're pulling for you. Talking to the goddess Eir for healing.

My prayers are with you and your wife.

I can't begin to describe how I feel when I hear about child abuse. :mad:
 
Life is truly not fair! Both of you and your family will be in my prayers also! Be strong!
 
I know how futile any of my words must seem to you in helping your situation. However, I must say that stories like this make me feel horrible. My prayers are with you. Your devotion to her is something to be admired...
 
SilverFox,
You are at the right place for help.

These guys understand pain and those in need. There are many of us here who are going thru bad times and everyone is sympathetic and very giving. Prayer to whatever deity you believe in is very strong stuff. I know.The help I received from the HI Forumites have kept me going and brought me hope.

I wish you and your wife better times in the future.
 
Hang in there Bro. Its worth it.
Will be praying for you and your wife.
May God Bless you with peace.
 
Will do. Hang in there, and I hope everything works out for the best. Let her know there are lots of people pulling for her.
