Question by Sarah N: Is there any online Christian support groups that anyone knows of? I use to attend a group called….?
Celebrate Recovery. After I went through the class, I became a leader for sexually, emotionally, physically abusive group for woman. They have groups in the same state I live, but so far away. Do any of you guys know of any online Christian support groups for women?

I have no idea if this is even working…Im basically computer illiterate!! :{{ Needing Christians to rallly around and support me as a pending divorce is approaching. No details until I know this msg is actually going through. If someone can reply then I’ll continue. Thanx.
It works! I just reached a settlement in mediation on my child custody 2 years after the divorce. Being a Christian didn’t seem to make it much easier, though I suppose we didn’t cuss at each other.
Thanx Amanda for commenting so quickly!! I have 5 kids, and have pretty much raised them alone. My husband has been physically removed from our home for almost 6 years due to schizophrenia. He has been emotionally ‘abusive’ for lack of a better word. My life has been this crazy roller coaster. I don’t have to worry about custody at all b/c he’s never shown any interest in the kids, although they’re amazing kids. I just want to put a close to this chapter in my life. And if possible, continue fresh. I find this all just soooo exhausting, and I really DO question God all the time, although I know He is so good and so gracious. I just simply don’t understand a thing anymore.
My ex loves the kids. I read a couple of the recommended reading/books and they helped me a lot. I was feeling very defeated – you try so hard to follow God as best you can – and still end up divorced – I was feeling very bitter. One of the books had this quote from William Borden, and a story about how he gave each moment of his life 100%, and in his bible, when he died on the way to the missionary field, his bible had these words: No Reserves, No Retreats, No Regrets. – All we can do is try our best. When I cried out to God and told him how hard it all was, I felt his presence as if he was in my car with me, wrap his arms around me and just say, “I know” – not telling me what to do, or condemning me for not being able to “make it work” – just unconditional love. “But I didn’t want a divorce” was one of the books I got. I don’t remember the other, and i already gave them away.
Thank you so much…I think this is FINALLY what I need – Christian friends, who actually have been where I am. I have Christians friends-really-but they don’t get it at all. They try to be sympathetic, but truly they can’t be, the same way as I can’t be with a friend who has perhaps lost a child – b/c I never have. I live in a very small town, and my husband does as well, so we do bump into eachother which is quite awkward. My Christian friends have told me that I should get a divorce, my older kids think the same. It is just so final. And I worry constantly about the finances. I’m so depressed, on a regular basis. I just feel so beaten up. Our pastors told me it’s very similar to a death what I’m dealing with. All the stages are the same. The only dif. is that there’s no closure. If someone dies, you bury them, go through all the stages, and then move forward. For me (us), I don’t know how to move forward at all. I feel so stuck. Can I ask you where you got the book? I’m also getting some material and abit of counsel from Focus on the Family Canada. Are you familiar with this organization? Where do you live Amanda? I’m from Alberta.
I bought the book from from this site – here’s the link: http://astore.amazon.com/christiandivorcesupport-20/detail/0310221714
Yes, I agree – it is like death. I felt a lot better after the divorce, but my kids are young and they don’t like that we’re not married – it’s hard for them, which in turn, makes it hard for me. I have moved forward with my life and are dating again, but I could have used counseling and support, if it was available, as I know I have some problems and have questions for God that I feel like know one is helping me answer. Yes, I listen to focus on the family sometimes. I am in Las Vegas, California.
Amanda,
Did you find it hard to make the decision to begin dating again? Did you run into alot of ‘judgement’ calls from others who say that adultery is the only Biblical reason for divorce? Even though I’m not at that point yet, I think I would like to get remarried, but really struggle with that decision. I’m really glad you are at a point in your life that you can move ahead.
