Accountability Partner

[Marie]

My parents are going through the process of divorce, and this will be both my mom and my dad's second divorce (to different people). I am adopted on my dad's side of the family, and have been for about 10 years of my life. I fell really hard after that first divorce, and had a severe case of depression which lasted for about 7 or 8 years after.

I can feel myself slipping again, although this time I am a Christian. That makes all the difference, really, but most of the time, I just take to seclusion, not wanting to do anything, be around people, talk to people, etc. I have lost a lot of the passion that I normally have in my everyday life. I am normally a very joyful person, just glowing, but people have been noticing that I have been losing that lately.

I am looking for an accountability partner, preferably just one person, who is willing to keep me accountable for not falling, and to pray for me consistently. I would also pray for them and keep them accountable for whatever they need.

I am open for any advice too

Hugs & Kisses,

Marie

I'm almost old enough to be your grandfather, and my health may not be good enough to be your accountability partner. I will pray for you every day that God will give you guidance and comfort through this ordeal.

It sounds like you are already doing some very positive things. I encourage you to continue your Christian activities and let God guide you to happiness in your life as an adult. As a Christian, you will identify qualities that are important for real happiness. I pray that God will guide you into real happiness in your Christian activities and in your future. Maybe some volunteer work would help get your mind off of some of the bad things happening in your life right now. When you give of yourself to those less fortunate, you always get back 10 times what you gave. Maybe some work with the disabled or volunteer work at a local hospital would be good.

Sometimes bad situations cause depression, and that is really a condition of going inward to yourself. Getting involved in something positive as a volunteer would be the opposite, going outward to others. You will find that you have a lot of very positive things to be thankful for. This negative situation can turn out to be something positive you may use for the rest of your life. I sincerely pray this will be true. Marie, you are very young and have your whole life ahead of you. You are a Christian, and you walk with Jesus. Real peace, joy, and happiness is in Jesus, and He is always with you. Give your parents' problems to Jesus. I and many other Christians will pray for you that God will guide you to happiness. The problems of your parents should not be on your shoulders to solve. Marie, may God bless and keep you in His Loving Arms.

LOL, I'm not strict enough to be anyone's accountability partner, and I'm definitely not equipped for the task of keeping people focused and extroverted. . .hehe. If I was, I wouldn't be me, you know?

Nevertheless I prayed for you, and I hope that God will heal your parents' marriage.
