Hello and welcome, and thank you for sharing.
I first suggest you journal about your struggle and your pain, as you heal, grow and recover it will show others that is is possible to survive.
Your journey will be long, and at times horrible. You do not have to do it alone.
A good church will help you and your family. A good church can offer great support.
I hope you have family to help you as well.
Reaching out and telling your story is very important.
Not only will it help you heal, but it will help someone else come forward and help them out of a horrible situation.
Continue to come here for support as well.

I am here and have been for over 10 yrs. I am a former biker but, am now a minister .If I can help, give me a shout.

Thank you, I am trying to let it out but have no-one to talk to about it. I have no family just my kids. I've made alot of progress but just still feel so stuck and so lonely. I'm not sure where to go from here.

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. Have you thought about speaking to a counselor about how you feel? You don't have to continue to feel down in life, there are people who love you and you are very valuable. You need someone you can open up to, share exactly how you feel with, etc. Thank you for sharing with us how you feel. That took a lot of guts. We are here for you!

Thank you for sharing! And soon you will be telling someone else the same words and helping them out of the lonely hole you fee yourself in. Then you will understand that we are really thanking you for coming here and giving us the blessings of belping and supporting you.

There is help all around you, just on the other side of your fear. The first person i am thinking could help is my niece who is a single mom eaking out a new career with 3 kids and a deadbeat sex addicted ex who isnot paying child support. She is bright, warm, insightful and loving. And will spend lots of time hearing your heart. And loving on you, because she gets it.

Not sure how to get you connected with her, but we can figure it out if you want to call her.

It is pretty safe here to say what your feeling, and I am sure there are women here who will safely love on you too.

This wilm sound soooo cliche, but when you need to break through lonliness, the easiwst way is to go help someone with something. It could be as easy as going to a laundarymat with 2 or 3 bucks and telling people you want to pay for their laundary load jus tso yiu can feel better, to going to the pound and helping feed the cats and dogs.

We are designed by God to be in community, and giving anything to anyone creates waves of love that fills us back up.

I will call Sarah, now and see how to get you together.

And again, thank you for the gift of my feeling sad, and kind and mindful and hopeful for you over the last few minutes while I wrote this.

You are free now! All that is left is learning to believe, think feel and act that way.

Even though he's gone...his mental control still has its chains on you. You have lived so long w him making all the decisions...that now that you're physically free from him...you still can't. You need to sit down...n start doing little nice things for yourself. You have to start asking yourself what do u want to do, what things do u like, how do you prefer things done....basically rediscover yourself minus his influence. Keep reminding yourself that it's ok to have needs and wants. And it's safe too. You are feeling lost right now...bc you're not use to operating in an uncontrolled state. Everything u did before had to pay thru the ex filter. Private msg me if you like! Sending u light n love.

I've been married for thirty-two years and just found out my husband's messing around on me again I have the money for a lawyer I was a stay-at-home mom too and I feel like it's a little looser I'm sorry this is happening to you and I know how you feel I have no friends I have nothing
