I left the USA actually. I left him flat after he hit me (repeatedly... granted, I did hit him back finally), had me arrested (for hitting him), and took off with his mistress to California. I Went to Canada where he could not find me, and besides I am in love with someone here. I am sure this is what I want and need- he would have killed me, whether actively or passively by stress, if I had stayed. I do not believe in divorce, but he was no good for me, nor I for him. Our son was becoming violent. I left everything, all material goods and possessions, even my own son, for fear of my life and sanity. I came to the cross once again, led by my new man and best friend [someone you know Suzanne]... my husband is trying to use Islam to control me, but even that has no hold on me now. I am physically safe, but my son, while safe, is 3000 miles away, and my ex is threatening to never let me see him again. I have decided that while this makes me sad, I can do nothing about it now. He has all the money, all the leverage and all of the resources. All I have is me and my friend in a small flat, no money to my name, nothing. I cannot afford a lawyer. So, I will just have to pray and wait for the Lord to answer.

Thank you for your advice, I enjoy talking to you Zanne. If you have any thing more to say or comfort to give, please do. Also, if you know any Biblical verses to help, send them to me, and I will read and meditate on them so to speak.

Thank you and God Bless,

Susan
