I, well we, my husband and our family are currently going through some crazy stuff right now compliments of his ex wife, my bonus kids' mom...and I honestly don't know what I'd do without the prayer & support of our church, granted, I have gone & asked for help, and I've managed to keep myself together(sometimes, I don't know how), while at church. I was once told by the pastor of the very first church I was a member of, when I was fresh in my recovery, and my walk, that there are 2 reasons people don't go to church, or like christian's, either they've never met one, or they have. Unfortunately, some people who are "blessed" forget that they weren't always that way, and that they have needed or will need some help, even if it is only in the form of a shoulder to cry on or an ear to listen. I'm so sorry for the woman's callous treatment of you...I pray for you and your family...I follow you on FB (wow that sounds kind of stalker-ish, LOL), anyway, I'm praying for you, and your situation, and hope that all is well! I enjoy reading your posts, because 1 it lets me know that I'm not alone in the craziness of ex wife drama, and 2 you're pretty funny!<br />Hope you are doing well!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10306113154820358157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841270798737033208.post-54590675996591798982012-04-26T08:00:15.344-07:002012-04-26T08:00:15.344-07:00Just gotta share my thoughts on this one!! I grew...Just gotta share my thoughts on this one!! I grew up in a very religious household - we were at church every time the doors were open. As a child, I didn't really understand much of what went on. We got to do fun things and see our friends, so it was all good. But as time went on and I got older and saw more of how it *truly* was there (or in many churches)...I realized that the truth is Christians are the only group of people I know of that "shoot their wounded". The one place you SHOULD be able to turn for love, support, encouragement and prayers is the LAST place that makes you feel like you can! There is judgment, gossip, and just a lack of care/concern that is unbelievable, and SOOOO not in line with Jesus' teachings.<br /><br />It's funny...the church preached against homosexuality, to the point that we were to 'avoid' gay people...but through an odd series of events, I now have a big group of gay friends, and I have found them to be some of the nicest, most caring/loving people ever. And I realize there are 'bad' and 'good' people in every "community" of people, but it's just ironic that the Christians who are supposed to be these wonderful loving people are hating on a group that (by and large) actually IS made up of wonderful people.<br /><br />I'm so sorry you had such a terrible time and no one to turn to. There is nothing lonelier than being at the end of your rope and feeling like no one cares. :-(Belizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437536192311396420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841270798737033208.post-24008245778638277762012-04-24T07:22:05.110-07:002012-04-24T07:22:05.110-07:00SoberTinaApr 24, 2012 07:19 AM

I was so let down. It was the first time in my life I had a "support" network and I thought it would help. Not so much.<br /><br />I was SO surprised when a group of ladies I hardly knew got together and decided to talk care of me. For 2 weeks, I think I only cooked dinner once. They had taken turns bringing meals out to my house (which was 15 miles from the closest person). They put 2 different gift baskets together for us (my girls and I); one will barbies, bubbles and other fun stuff for the kids, and a second one with some easy-cook foods for when they couldn't bring food out. I was beyond amazed at their kindness. I never knew people did that for one another. Hell, my own mother lives next door to me and she NEVER offered to help out. NEVER.<br /><br />I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. Thank you for sharing it with us. :-)<br /><br />(Tina-I had to move your comment bcs I moved the blog bcs I Thought I messed it up...:-O)The Brady Bunch on Crackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11527717790747186006noreply@blogger.com
