My husband and I and our children are in the middle of a season of separation from his family which is causing my husband anguish. His uncle, who raised him since age 12 is a violent, verbally abusive man. He and his wife (my husband's dead mother's sister) opposes us in our decision to raise our children in the ways of the Lord. We have been accused of getting wrapped up in the Bible. We have asked them to support us when they have our children in their care to read them the Bible and their daily devotions before bedtime. Because they refuse to do this and support us in raising them for the Lord, they have chosen to disown my husband and us. Please pray for us. I trust that the Lord is protecting us from the violence and threats. My husband, however, is fearful because his own mother was murdered at the hand of his father. He considers these relatives a replacement of his own parents so he feels as if he has lost them as well. In addition, they have caused division between his relationships with his younger cousins (adults) which he considers brothers and sisters by spreading lies that we have accused them of "corrupting" our children.
