I left my childrens dad because he treated me very badly. There was a beautiful side to him and I thought he would come back to me a changed man. Well he changed but he met someone else who he is very in love with and has talked about getting married and having children with . I feel hopeless and so sad.I pray but I feel alone and I don’t get a sense of peace when I pray. I have the sinking feeling that I am meant to remain single forever. If anyone would pray to help me accept this situation that would be great.
 
I’m so sorry to hear that and I will pray for you. I have not gone through the exact same thing but I had a very difficult break-up a few years ago when I felt utterly sad. I thought too back then that I had lost my only chance to be happy in love and couldn’t see any hope from all my tears.

There were two things that helped me then when I fell into the deepest sadness, one was songs by Hildegard of Bingen and the other one was - I don’t know how else to explain this - God. I was estranged from my Lutheran church and not even thinking about the Catholic church yet, I was pretty much agnostic about everything. So when I hit the feeling when all you could think of was just “this is it- I can’t take any more pain” I was suddenly given peace. It was like my sorrow had been lifted from my shoulders in a split second and I realized I was going to be OK, my crying stopped on the spot and I felt loved. Of course the sadness would come back for periods of time but I was able to deal with it and overcome it because I was helped from above (and by people around me).

So please don’t lose faith or hope entirely. God is with you even though you might feel you’re so alone. It’s going to be OK, it might just take some time.
 
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and in the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

I left my children’s father, my husband, because he was mean to me and our kids. It maybe hard now but it slowly gets better, with ups and downs then back up. Hang on to your love of God and your kids. Try to remember that no one has a right to treat you badly and you have a right to some peace. That was what I realized I needed, some peace from the anger and the chaos. When I get down I go for a walk in a pretty place and thank God for the peace he has brought back into my life. Sometimes I get lonely, but there are worse things than being alone. Like being in a relationship where someone thinks they can hurt you and get away with it because you allow them to be mean to you. He will probably be mean to this new woman too. If he is not a nice person it won’t matter who he is with or where he lives or what job he has he will take his frustration out on someone. Just be glad it’s’ no longer you. Good luck.

Praying for the intentions of you & your family.
 
A Prayer When Feeling Low

Loving Lord Jesus, whose hands are underneath our lowest feelings to support us as we rest in you. Hold me in this dark place and sustain my life with your hope. Let the light of your love warm my heart, and your Holy Spirit, the comforter, be with me to lift me up. Amen.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.

Pray for the intercession of the Holy Family… after all they are the example family to imitate!
 
O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.

By St. Ignatius of Loyola
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

I had a sense of relief that was similar to andante’s. I’ve come to believe that God wants me to be alone - and I’m okay with that now. It took me some time, but I have no sadness about being on my own anymore. I don’t know what’s in my future, but God is a great companion on the road through life. I hope you find a sense of peace, I pray you feel the presence of God, and may the Holy Spirit bring you comfort and strength to get through the difficult times.
Praying for you.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
I am kind of sad, also, but for another reason. I got kicked-attacked on face book last eve. I know that I will get over it and I think in time you will see that you will, too. Just because he is “in love” now does not mean he will be later and if he marries the person. Once a person has a sense of security they generally revert back to their old ways. I say this, but have never been married, so wait and see.

This is more than likely true. My ex was very mean to me and was exactly the same to his first wife. My hurt i think stems from the fact i think he is treating her better than i was ever treated. At the moment i am ashamed to say i secretly hope he doesnt treat her well. I know this is wrong and hope to get to a place where i am happy if he treats people well.

And I am sorry you were hurt on facebook. The same happened to my daughter last year and she was very upset, but everything was fine a few days later and im sure it will be fine for you too.
 
Praying that the Lord may comfort you and strengthen you with all necessary graces.
