• 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.

I just saw this post of yours. I'm glad your faith is strong. This is time to take good care of yourself and concentrate on that. I'm sorry you were abandoned by your bf. He sure needs to take a good look at himself and the responsibility he should have to you. I am praying for you.

Cry to the Lord, dear sister, and trust Him to care for you! You made a dreadful mistake to co-habitate with a man outside of marriage and have a child, but God cares for you. Let me urge you to read John 1; John 3; John 14, and ask God to teach you the meaning of those precious verses.

The Lord Jesus is ever ready to uphold and bless one who puts Him first in their life. Make the Lord Jesus Christ your best friend. He will show you a way to a good life now and for eternity. Look up always!

I am sorry for what you are going through.

The Lord is faithful even when we are not. I wish I could tell you that it's going to get easier, and you will be rescued from it all. The truth is that there is hard and difficult path before you, testing and trying you every step of the way. What I can tell you is that you don't have to face these trials alone.

Take Joshua, here is a guy who's mentor has died and he been called to lead a great number of people into a land of all sorts of dangers. When I read Joshua, I can feel how tough it was for Joshua to face that challenge place before him.. The Lord said "as I was with Moses, so I will be with you." and "Be strong and of good courage...". Yet at the very end God talks a little different, "Have I not commanded you?.

I can tell Joshua must been overwhelmed in hearing all this. Yet God reminds him and I think he is reminding you today "Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”. Jesus is saying this to you as well "I will not leave you nor forsake you.".

You are walking into a new world, one where you will be blessed with a child. What you see today is not all God has for you. Hold on to him as you walk this journey and lean into God when it hurts and there is no where else to go.

As for your boyfriend, the Lord will deal with him. The answer he gave you was not of God, but of his own words.

1 Timothy 5:8
8 But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

If he is indeed saved, the Lord will punish him for decisions he has made. For the Word of God says that God disciplines those he loves. Don't try to fix your boyfriend, let the Lord deal with him. Stay close the Lord and your family in Christ, you will need support.
