Below is a very interesting view (and one which I personally agree with) concerning divorce. It is from Dena Johnson Ministries (another Christian site which helps me with my Christian walk). Author Gary Thomas wrote a book, Sacred Marriage, in which he states marriage was designed to make us...

I just wanted to wish everyone here a Merry, Christmas and Happy Holidays!:clap:

Today I listened to a sermon from my senior pastor entitled When You Don’t Understand. It had to do with when you question God about how/where He's leading you, and why bad things happen. When I heard the title and the beginning which included Psalm 22, I felt this was tailor-made for me. Lately...

This Tuesday I start a new job in my favorite industry. Last time I was doing the profession I am excellent at, it was January 2011 when I was downsized. This loss of work and the continued inability to find a new job began my personal descent into Hell which featured the unexpected and unwanted...

Has anyone ever destroyed their marriage certificate? :scratch: Yesterday I was looking for my original social security card as I need it for Day 1 of my new job (this Tuesday). It was in a large envelope which I knew also contained my 2001 marriage license. 2012-2014 I would semi-jokingly act...

It has been a while since I have been here. Greetings to everyone :wave:. I'm hoping to get helpful advice. Last night I got a snail-mailed letter from my ex-wife. Today is 21 years my mother has passed. As I was getting the key for the mailbox, I jokingly said I would drop down dead if I got a...

Wishing everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving! :wave:

...when you can remember happy moments from the marriage and you don't cry or miss them. You just accept them for what they are: a pleasant memory. My ex used to have an amusing habit of saying an animal looked like someone we knew. She would see X animal and call out a person's name; this was...

Happy Easter to everyone here on the forum. Be happy for the Lord is risen! :amen:

I am in the middle of writing a letter to my ex-wife to let her know I have overcome a negativity she saw me personally suffer with while we were married...and that I forgive her, her brother and his wife. :eek: For those who don't know, in 2012 my former brother-in-law and his wife reneged on...

Here's to everyone on the forum having a better and happier new year. God bless! :thumbsup:

As Christians, we all know the real Reason for the Season. May the love and power of the Lord's birth heal, strengthen, and help us in our lives and recovery. Here's wishing everyone a Merry, Blessed Christmas and a Happy, Better New Year. :wave:

Wishing everyone here a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving. :wave:

Did you experience drama from the therapist about changing your appointment? I have experienced this twice with my current counselor and with the therapist I almost started working with but dropped because she would offer times I couldn't make which she knew because I had told her my work...

I just finished watching two 9/11 specials on NatGeo. I cried at the end of the second. I was working on Wall Street that day. I was married just three months. I brought with me in a gym bag my wedding photo album. I had stopped off to get a hair cut before work and to show my barber the...

The dysthymia I have had since 1998 has reared its ugly head. I know it is a cumulative effect of the past two years of my life which were negatively highlighted by almost getting evicted while at the same time my ex-wife sided with her family in their betrayal of me, and wanting a divorce...

My boss unexpectedly gave me the afternoon off today :clap: (because I work one day on the weekend). I wanted it to be productive time, so I decided to continue cleaning and remodeling my apartment. I am doing it a little at a time. I chose several batches of papers and folders to filter...

I was starting to include this topic in my previous post and it actually should be its own thread. I have to admit it sucks that the joy of getting out of a very disliked job into a better one is getting "rained" on by feeling mad and sad that I cannot share this victory with my ex wife the...

Next month will be two years since my wife said she wanted a divorce. The judgement came in August 2013. Ever since that April 2012, I have always felt and believed I would run into or hear from her again. For the first few months after her announcement, this feeling was in the hope of saving...

I have been interviewing to get a new job. In two recent and separate interviews with two separate companies I was asked to describe a situation I had to overcome and how did I do it. I responded with my divorce. It is the most profound, most current, and the first-thing-that-comes-to-mind...
