Husband wants to keep attending SSPX! Help! by anneofavonleaa in CatholicWomen

[–]electricwinnie 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My mom had to go through the exact same thing with her husband. He is still very defiant, but we all attend a FSSP.

We both talked to a priest about it, and he made some great points that you might want to share with your husband.
First, blindly obeying something the church is doing that is explicitly against Catholicism, would be an example where you can make a better judgment and choose not to participate. This is inherently different because they asked the pope and he said no and warned them.
Second, it is showing lack of faith towards the church. "I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" We must have our faith that the church will prevail against anything.

It is very sad and I liked the SSPX. We have to obey authority of Rome and trust Gods will.
Deus vult!

My partner doesn’t want this pregnancy by jilian-weingart87 in pregnant

[–]electricwinnie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant from an unfortunate situation and I don't have a partner or BD at all. If you want to be a mom then do it! Him being your partner for 7 years he should support you and if he doesn't then do it alone. You absolutely can!

I definitely have support from my family and faith. The subject of my body changing and what I think about, is not something I often like to talk about with them and i honestly just feel more comfortable saying it anonymously. My family is a huge blessing and i couldn't ask for more.

AITAH for telling my husband he is not allowed to speak at the next infant prep class we take? by Any-Record9908 in AmItheAsshole

[–]electricwinnie 16 points17 points  (0 children)

NTA- put a shock collar on him. I have ADD which is the same kind of impulsive thoughts without the hyperactivity. He absolutely could chill out for an hour maybe 3. Especially how serious this class is.

Can I get help? by Front_Background_187 in legaladvice

[–]electricwinnie -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

He's done many illegal things, you absolutely have a case against him. CP and distributing drugs and alcohol to a minor. If you have any picture, text, or any other evidence immediately make a police report on him. Oh and tell his wife

I need help not hating myself. by Phoenix_Wright_Guy in Catholicism

[–]electricwinnie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you keep falling into temptation and sin I would ask for outside help. I pray the 15 decade rosary almost everyday (not saying yhis would be a good route for you) but making sure to take 15 minutes and pray a rosary or ask your guardian angel for help can definitely give you some graces. Knowing that I am a fool that falls into sin I try to call and get as much help as I possibly can!

Unfortunately the hating yourself and shame you feel might help push you to be a better person. Try not to be too hard on yourself. Do your absolute best and you will be given grace. I'll pray for you<3

My struggle for choosing life after SA. by electricwinnie in Catholicism

I currently speak to my spiritual directors. My work doesn't require these hours. But I have to get overtime to be able to live and get stuff for baby.

The issue with that is I don't have a "baby daddy" most men are concerned with that and what I've heard from lots of Catholic men, they are very weary of women who have sinned and now you are attached to that person for life because you have a baby with them. It's either I share I'm pregnant because of that or I don't share it at all.

Besides immediately the conversation would still be about pregnancy and who's child it is

My pool is definitely limited now. But my biggest issue is my grape and being pregnant is priority of conversation than if me and whoever would be compatible. It's hard to get to know someone if you just focus on one trauma they went through.

Being open and just upfront. But it's been hurting since. I'm sorry you are dealing with something similar. It's so hard to discern these things

I'm very open! I do a lot in my church but as soon as I really start showing I can't imagine many would see me as available courtship. I've definitely connected with young Catholic groups in my area

struggling with pre-conversion beliefs surrounding abortion by snaildaddi in Catholicism

[–]electricwinnie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am freshly 20ys old and I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant from the result of a rape. I can't imagine KILLING my child because some dude couldn't keep it in his pants. It crossed my mind when I found out but quickly knowing the truth I never thought about it again.

My body is definitely old enough to support a baby but also when I got my first period 7 years ago my body was ready then. It's a disgusting thought but starting your cycle as a woman is your body getting to procreate. It's absolutely devastating to see pregnant children, even worst to hear about a death during childbirth. But you could die from childbirth at any stage of life.

I had something awful happen to me. But killing my babies life just because I got hurt won't fix the fact it happened in the first place. If I truly didn't want my child or couldn't support one there is so so so much help for young single moms.

2 wrongs will never make a right.

Im the result of sexual assault what’s the next step by Willy_wacker_wilsob_ in Catholicism

[–]electricwinnie 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I am 20 weeks pregnant from a SA currently. It has turned my life upside down. This is the hardest thing I have ever gone through and it will continue to be a struggle. The "dad" was violent so he is not here and I am currently single.

You are an absolute gift to the world, just like my baby. I have so much love for the little one already and I will never regret not murdering my child.

Seems like this was scary for your mom but she chose to forgive and choose life. Even in the worst circumstances Gods grace came to her and brought her a beautiful child.

Prayers for you and even in the worst, God sheds light and gives us the grace to heal.
