I've been divorced now for 4 years but it is still a struggle. I have experienced healing in some ways and I am a far more confident person than when I was married. I know God is not done with me yet. I know the divorce was the only sane option in my situation... it was a "biblical" divorce and I stayed longer than some would have. I just want to get my ex and his family out of my system. Grief is a funny thing. I longed not to have the in-laws I did when I was married but sometimes I would like to still be married, just so that life could still be the same. Then again, the same wasn't good. I had literally emotionally died towards the end of the marriage. God truly led me out of that relationship. My "exodus". But divorce is still hard. The good thing is now I am feeling the pain more than I did initially, I think. I have heard that it is only by going through it (grief) do you get to the other side. Thanks for listening!!

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Divorce is hard. Only time will allow the wounds to heal. If one married a non-believer, divorce is more likely. I no longer want to marry anymore but to focus on my relationship with God. I am happier because of this. I put God first and foremost. This has changed my life tremendously. I feel I can take on challenges more readily with God's help. I am doing well despite my weaknesses. I believe this is due to my faith in God. Hang in there and focus on God! Everything will fall into place. God bless!

That's a hard sutuation. I've been on the edge multiple times in my painful 25 year marriage. Some things have thankfully gotten better, but still so many deep painful things going on. I'm just doing my best to release the situation into God's care right now, and to let him direct my steps day to day.
Thanks for sharing. Mike
