Depression after a divorce

Depression after a divorce

by Isabel
(San Clemente, CA USA)

I recently walked out of an abusive relationship, I am now divorced. I wanted my marriage to work and tried hard, but he would not change. I am depressed over the divorce and being alone again. I can't get over the hurt and pain, and keep thinking about it. I pray and pray to get over this. It has been 3 1/2 months.

The Pain is too much.
by: John

I am recently divorced, well, its not quite final yet. She walked out on me with my kids about 3 months ago. I was not always the perfect husband. I must admit that over a year before she left, I did the dispicable. I committed adultry. She took me right back and said she wanted to get through it and continue to work on our marriage. I felt so ashamed and hurt about what I did. I begged for God's forgiveness and for her's as well. a little over a year later she walked out on me. She says its because of what I did then. She calls me all the time to rub it in my face how wrong and horrible i was to have done that. 3 days ago, i found out she was seeing another man. and that it had been going on for about 2 months. she has been having him hang around even with my kids. we are still married. and now since i found out she wont let me see my little girls. she tries to blame all of what she is doing on me because of what i did. for the past 5 months, i have done nothing but work so hard to make this work, i have fought and kicked and scratched and prayed so hard, all the while being punished by her for my wrongs of the past, and even still being punished for it when she was doing the same thing, and in front of my little girls. it hurt so bad to begin with, but now the pain is unbearable... sometimes i find myself in prayer and asking God to please end my pain... I just need help....
