I was despondent listening to old music. Then I threw the old music away and listened to new. I threw out the old stuff that reminded me of her, which was alot. Then I made new male and female friends. After a female friend left my house after lunch my wife spied it and she came back with a vengeance. Separation is about moving on. When you do that the rest usually comes naturally.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Yeah. Since I'm moving out of my father's rental house he's thinking of selling it cheap to the woman who recently divorced my stepbrother, because she's looking to buy a house and she can't afford much. This seems stupid to me as it helps her along in the divorce, perhaps if we don't help people who initiate divorce they may go back home. I told my dad if he did that for my wife if she divorced me we'd have problems, to which he replied it was my stepbrother who suggested he sell it to her.

Does your stepbrother and his ex have children together? If so, maybe it would be so the children would have a decent roof over their heads.

We were raised to make sure the children in the immediate and extended family are well cared for, whether it be sending clothing to their parents, or even providing a roof for the children's heads in a place where an extra eye can be kept on them. Children always comes first. Maybe that should have been considered before the divorce, but your father (and you) had no control over that.
I understand the symbolism of the house, but without knowing more details, it sounds like your father and step brother are wanting to do what is best for the children.

I think it would nbe a shame if your Dad turned a blind eye on his grandkids because he didn't approve of what his daughter-in-law was doing.
Divorce is really not anyone's business but the couple's and God. It is the worst thing to have to go through, and to have people who haven't lived your life and who only know what they are told get in you business and say "you are wrong/sinning/a bad parent/unChristian/etc do NOT help the situation.
If she takes back her husband,she also takes back his family, including a brother-in-law who is vocal about how wrong she is. That would motivate me all right...to leave the whole mess behind.

Hey, if someone's wrong and we make like they're not we become part of the problem. Acting like that can give someone happy thoughts as they walk straight into Hell! She can go there but not, at least in part, because I turned a blind eye. Someone told her she is wrong and should change her ways. Hopefully she will take heed.
The word is she's not interested in the house anyways.
