Oh (D'Aisy): I know how you feel; I have been grieving for a whole lifetime (no one can tell, LOL); I got a divorce after 31 years of abuse, and then lost my church family (31 years); they voted me out of membership, with my name up on a big screen, followed by the words: "Conduct Unbecoming a Child of God."
So, not only did I lose a marriage, I lost a whole church community.
I grew up in extreme poverty and never knew my father....the list is endless of things to grieve.....in a month I have to tell my tI cannot pay him anymore....I don't know how I will live without him (another abandoment), not to mention I am going to have to live on less than 100 a week for gas, groceries, etc., etc....as a christian I pray all the time for God to bring me a man that he wants me to have.
I did the thing I feared the most (being alone) in getting the divorce.
I hear your pain, sweetie...you sound like an amazing woman.
Hugs and Love, Sassy
www.churchabusepoetrytherapy.com (my faith-based poems), which Elie Wiesel (survivor of Auschwitz) has written to me about; I am humbled and honored. It is amazing how people have been healed through it, but unfortunately, spiritual abuse is a wound which i cannot heal from...over 15,200 hits now.
