Help on Divorce

[repuckett]

:crying: My wife walked out on me last September due to her kids and I not getting along (my step kids). We were married for almost 12 years and I knew times would be up and down and I rode this wave for a long time. I was not a great step-father but I tried and helped them whenever they asked for it. They got to the point where telling me or their mother to F*** Off was ok.

I dropped away from my church-going ways during this time due to my family not wanting to go to church … BIG MISTAKE #1 !!!

I have tried to reconcile but the divorce went thru on Jan 26, and now I am stuck with alot of debt that she generated before I left. I pray for her and her family everyday and miss her very, very much. Does anyone know what a GOOD CATHOLIC should do in such a situation? I would never have gotten a divorce that is why she did. Does life every get back to normal???

I praise GOD for I do know there is a reason for this, but what? Was it to get my faith back which I did?

Any light shed on this bad subject would be appreciated.

Praises to GOD!

I am a 46 year old male. I also was married for 12 years and am going thru the process of divorce myself. I walked away from a house, let her have it willingly, packed my things and lived in my daughters basement for a while, before living where I am now. and the whole situation in March. I made the choice and yet it was the hardest thing I ever did. I did not want to make that choice but I had to.

I have the debt and such emotional feelings that I wonder how I survive each minute of the day.

Life does get back to normal. I am still waiting for many normal things to happen. Getting sleep, getting myself motivated to just go to work, etc. I manage with praying and talking alot to God and Jesus. I pray anytime I feel the need. At home I drop to my knees and pray for the burden to be lifted and then I have a good cry.

Does it get better? It is a long journey and one that has the few rare good minutes and many setbacks. I manage only with the help of the Father and Son.

I am also trying to learn everything I can about satan, his tricks, how temptation presents itself to cause me to have bad thoughts and ideas.

I have gained alot of understanding by now asking myself, is what I am thinking something God would approve of?, or is it something which will drive me away from God?

I will pray for you also and I wish you the very best as I would not want anyone to feel as sad and alone as I do most days.

Feel free to read my profile and message me via Yahoo if you like. My goal in life is to help people going thru similair situations and to let them know people do care and people have and are going thru the same type of emotional roller coaster as you are.

God Bless You,

Paul
