My children’s father got another woman pregnant - Now he wants me to leave

Dear Pastor,

I have a problem. I am 28 years old and have three children. My first child is 12; she is living with my parents. The other two children and I are living with their father. My first child is not for the same guy as the other two. I have been living with this man for eight years. My second child is not well. He cannot walk. I have taken him to different doctors and also to do therapy, but he is still not walking. Right now he needs a special-care shoe. His father said he needs another child, but because he was not walking, I did not agree. He has got another girl pregnant.

I was angry over what he did, but I continued to live with him. After a while, he said he was not happy with me and he needed a daughter, so I agreed to get pregnant again, and to give him a daughter.

For two weeks now he has stopped sleeping at the house, saying he is still not happy. He says I should go back to my parents. However, my parents said that I cannot come back there because of my sister, who is mentally ill. Whenever I go there, my sister threatens me.

My father has a piece of land, but he does not have a title for it, and he owes taxes on it. I am trying to apply for one of the Food For The Poor houses, but they said I need the title for the land. I have been told that if I pay up the taxes I will be able to get a title. I don't know what to do because my children's father says he is not happy with me, and he wants me to leave.

I am not working.

Pastor, please tell me what to do, because sometimes he even beats me, and most times he verbally abuses me.

Dear J.,

I would like to let my readers know that I have spoken to you on the telephone and I am convinced that you need help urgently. You are speaking the truth.

I would like to appeal to the readers to assist you in any way they can. Anyone who can assist you in paying the taxes on the land would be giving you a very big help. So, I urge readers to do the best they can.

Food For The Poor has already given you the assurances that if the taxes are paid, they will help you to get a house. I am sure that the good Lord will help you, and if I hear from the readers, I will contact you immediately.

May God bless you. Have a very Happy New Year.

Pastor
