What does a priest recommend if she is exhausted and her husband doesn’t care?

Fatigue, loneliness, despair... One way or another, each of us has had to deal with this. Someone coped with it himself, someone turned to a specialist for help, and someone was supported by their relatives. But what to do if emptiness It does not give rest, and the closest person does not care?



We found the answer to this question in the electronic version of the Orthodox magazine Thomas. The thoughts of one of the priests seemed very interesting and pertinent. We hope you share our feelings.

Completely a question from the reader sounded like this: “Tell me what to do when despondency and fatigue bite?” What do you do when your loved one turns away from you? What to say to a child who asks for warmth and affection, but you cannot give them? How to maintain a relationship with your husband? With every cell in my body, I feel exhausted. What do I do? ?

The answer of Archpriest Andrei Efanov “The situation is complex and ambiguous.” Unfortunately, these issues are not enough to solve the problem. It is important to understand how close the relationship with the husband, child, how old he is and so on. So my answer can only be the starting point of a new life.

First, ask for God’s help. This will help with daily prayers. You need to go to church with your child and confess. In a personal conversation with the priest, you can talk about all your problems. If the first temple does not work out, you should go to another. You can't despair!



These questions are very similar to depression. To understand whether this is the case, you need to consult a specialist. Like seeing a psychologist. He will be able to analyze the problem in detail and help with its solution in a global sense. And then it is important not to rush things and give yourself time. It will be necessary for the internal forces to recover.

In addition, it is necessary to slowly establish contact with the child. Why not start with simple things? Take a walk after a cozy family breakfast. In the fresh air, you can switch from everyday worries and relax. Observe nature, pray to the Lord God and ask for help from the Mother of God.



Talk to your child and talk about everything. The main thing is that it is interesting for him and you. Try to do something new for yourself. For example, needlework or sewing. Creativity helps you relax and think about something remote. Creating with your child will bring you closer.

And, of course, it is very important to talk to your husband honestly. He must hear about his wife’s experiences and try to understand them. If this does not happen, you should consult a psychologist together. The recommendations of experts should be followed.”

The solution of such a serious problem must be approached consciously. Remember: the longer you accumulate fatigue, the harder it will be to cope with it in the future. Of course, without the support of close people will be even more difficult. But if the situation is critical, be sure to contact a specialist. You can't let that happen.
