Thanks for the response. We share two young children. That's how we are still in contact. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't have anything to do with him. My friends and family think I am a fool to put up with him. But I have to consider the kids. I try to be polite and respectful for...

Hey Sandradee, Sorry to hear of your pain. Let me tell you something. If you can, go to Divorce Care. I did, and it helps tremendously. My kids attended too...what a difference! God loves you, don't forget that. He can take the ashes of your pain and use it to create something beautiful...

Hi, It's been a while and things do get better. Three years separated from Ex. Just wondering why he seems to be constantly trying to make me jealous. It's obvious to me that he doesn't want me..it doesn't make sense. It's so obvious to me what he's doing and so very annoying...yes he is...

Go deep sea diving right before your next flight. My cat keeps trying to jump up on the kitchen counter. What should I do?

Hi Fariy, Just wanted to say that waiting for your son to go to college b4 you make the move can be just as bad as if you left soon than later. My parents split when I was in my 2nd year of University and I almost failed because of the stress. I think I would have been better off if they had...

Thanks for the great tips everyone. Things are getting better.

Hey Single parents.... Do you have any tips or routines that you could share to help keep your family organized? I have two little girls and i feel so overwhelmed at times. For example, I find meal time prep difficult and stressful. How do you plan and organize meals? Laundry is difficult...

Personally I think you should wait until the papers are signed. Tread carefully, you are vulnerable. What do you think God feels about this. Do you want to date a man who has no problem being involved with a married woman? As I said b4 be careful...if he really likes you he will wait until...

Hi, Well I decided it was time to go ahead with divorce, we've been separated for almost two years...child custody battle on going, equalization of debts etc. it's been so stressful st I feel like giving up...but my hope is in the Lord and He keeps me going. He is faithful and He is my source...

Sometimes you just don't know, because you are lied to. I specifically asked my ex this question b4 marriage, even b4 engagement. He responded no way, I don't go near the stuff, well geuss what, a year after marriage I stumbled on it on the computer. When I confronted him (in love mind you...

I feel for you. I pray things get better for you.

Your husband may have a schitzophrenic type illness along with the BP disorder. He needs his meds, but they tend to have little or no insight into their illness, everyone else has the problem, but they have special powers. I went through this and it was very difficult. We are now separated, a...

If he really wants you, then let him court you for a year. He has to win you back. Then after that make your decision. Spend lots of time praying and waiting on God. Someone told me something interesting recently. God calls us to love our neighbours as we love OURSELVES. If we don't love...

Quality, DOn't sweat it! Just relax and spend time with God! I find this really helps you to get your thoughts organized when you have spent time in the word and communicated with the Lord. Believe me I know how you feel, and I'm still learning! When I havn't spend enough time with God...

Hi Liselle, Welcome! You know, I understand how you feel, but I think that the best thing would be to look at the long term. It would be really good for you to take your kids to church with you on Sundays. They could go to Sunday school and then you could have lunch after and talk about...

Hi Dayknee, I really feel for you girl. You keep your head up and don't allow doubt and confusion to settle in. Remember that you are precious in the eyes of the Lord, and He wants the best for you and for your precious kids(I preach this to myself FREQUENTLY:preach: ). When you've been...

How do you deal with church folk who want to take sides and shun you because of your situation. After the separation STex went back to our old church, they accepted him with open arms which is good. They don't know the truth and put him into a position of ministry which I think is wrong...

How do you deal with former in-laws who you really tried to have a relationship with you and have now turned on you since you split with your ex? How do you deal with special occassions ie. birthdays, Christmas etc. My in-laws have not called for about 6 months, they never really did b4 we...

Thanks so much for all your posts. I just read them today and they comforted me. It's been tough. I think I'm in the depressed phase. But I have glimpses of hope. STBEx has changed his mind about seeing the girls and he is coming over ocassionally. I don't bother to tell them (my girls)...

Hi there, I just found this subforum, and I am a new single parent, for about 6 months, since me and stbex separated. However, I was sort of a single parent before this because was unable, unwilling to really help with the kids. Partially because of mental health issues, partially choice...
