What am inspiration you are. I moved ot be near my ex-husband's family and I wonder if I did the right thing as I feel just or more alone as I did in Phoenix. Your ability to trust God and do what you needed to do is truly amazing. I am a Christian and struggle many times with my doubts and fears-asking myself where is my faith. You have inspired to me to begin reading my bible again and seeking what he has for me and trusting that I am ok and it is a process. Thank you again for sharing and may your life continued to be blessed.

Feel lost and empty

I am happy that my story was an encouragement to you. I have one thing to say, "Don't give up no matter what happens."

Have faith in yourself and remember that you are not in it alone anymore. You now have the entire First Wives World crew to help you!

Ask yourself, what would make you happy and work from there.

Would love to correspond with you again.

Thanks for your honesty

I am pleased that you can relate to my experiences.

I hesitated to share so much of myself but once I started, I could not stop. It is the first time that I have publically admitted to the bankruptcy. Filing was harder in some ways that the divorces!

God knows what we can handle and He knew that I was at the end of my rope when he brought me relief.

Would love to meet you also.

Have a blessed day.

What an encouragement

Tough times bring the best out in us don't they? I have had a similar experience, but so far the happy ending isn't here for me.

Feel lost and empty.

Loved reading your story. I've been through much of the same.

It's tough at times ... real tough! But God and my friends have pulled me through. It's getting better.

Would love to meet you.

We never know what life holds for us. Growing up all I ever wanted out of life was a college education and a husband who loved me. I grew up in the day and age where this signified security for girls. I was conditioned to believe it and thought that everything would simply fall into place for me as long as I was a good wife and mother. Well – surprise, surprise! It took 40 years of living for life to teach me that it didn’t happen that way.

I am now a 60-year-old, twice- divorced woman with a very gifted and talented 33-year-old son. I was devastated after both divorces but especially devastated after the second. I thought I had matured and had learned to make better decisions for myself. I was depressed, upset with myself and had a very negative attitude towards men. But, I had two people on my side; God and my son.

I have always been a religious and spiritual person. I try to rely on God and prayer to direct me. When I was younger, I organized Prayer Breakfasts, Prayer Seminars, founded two Christian support groups for women and attended many Christian retreats and had even helped organizing married couple’s retreats. Unfortunately, this did not count with Church members when I decided to divorce my husband. They came down on me like a ton of bricks for “divorcing that boy’s father”. They totally forgot that it takes two to be married and two to divorce. After ten years of marriage to my son’s father, I could not take any more. Therefore, I divorced him! Did I forget to tell you that my Church does not believe in divorce? Sorry, well there it is! My “Christian friends” told me that I was wrong and that it was entirely my fault. I never told them the fact that he did not know how to be a husband and that he had no desire to learn. I was so hurt by their criticism that I didn’t attend Church services for a year. When I did decide to return, I found another Church to attend.
