Subject: Dealing with Divorce
Content: I have been divorced for a little over 1 year now and it has been this long since my son has seen or heard from his father. He is almost 2 and I know he is very young, but it is still important for him to have a relationship with his father. I know it's his loss, but at times I am overwhelmed with feelings of guilt, shame, anger & regret. I feel that as a single mother, I am stigmatized by having been divorced. It's a black mark against me. Every time I hear a broadcast or someone in church teaching about marriage, God's design for marriage or a similar topic, my heart splinters, because I never thought I would find myself in this situation. It occurs to me, "maybe God wanted me to hear this because I'm the one who was in the wrong, this is all my fault", and I just feel defeated. I often wonder about my ex and what he is thinking, if he ever thinks about our son or regrets the choices he made (especially with Father's day around the corner)....I hate being double minded like this, knowing that it's a trick of the enemy to beat me down this way & yet still succumbing to it. Has anyone else ever gone through anything like this? What helped you to get through such a difficult period?
