Hi. I'm Karl Withakay

[Karl_Withakay]

I'm not LDS but came here to learn a bit more about the religion. Wife is LDS and is divorcing me because I'm not. I was raised Baptist and I lean more towards the Protestant faith. I have a lot of LDS friends and they are very good people. I came here for a bit of advice on the situation that's going on with my wife.

Thanks

Karl

Well if yer wife is serious about the gospel as we know it to be; she wants an eternal relationship with her husband and children,"AND" she also knows the wonderfull blessings that come from being obedient and worthy; not only blessings of eternity; but temporaly as well; I can rest you very much assured; these things are very much true, real, and wonderfull beyond anything you have ever conceived of or dreamed to be possible; she knows; she wants her husband to share and help.

No kids. She gets on that kick once in a while but she doesn't have the patience for children. I'm afraid she would hurt them. She's not well herself. When we were living together, if the house got cleaned, I did it, I did the cooking, I did the laundry, I cut the grass, I cleaned the bathroom. It wasn't because she wasn't able to do these things. she just will NOT do them. If I don't do them, they don't get done.

Karl, what are you doing at this time to take good care of yourself? I know you are worried about your wife. I caretake other people and know it is important for me to take good care of myself as well as those I care for.

Not anything different from the norm. I'm pretty depressed actually. Not sleeping much and no appetite. Playing guitar is very therapeutic for me. I recall when my mother passed away back in 1994. I was in a rock band. I went straight from mom's funeral to my gig in a 3 piece suit. I was an emotional wreck in between sets but when I was on stage, NOTHING was bothering me. Music is a powerful thing. I feel fortunate and blessed to be able to create it. It allows me to productively express my joy, or my pain. I'll be ok. It's just going to take a bit of time. Thanks.

Don't forget you are important too. Take care of yourself. I can be a bit bossy and a touch brash. I can tell you to take good care of yourself. It's the mom in me that makes me do that.
