I guess I'm here just to talk. I am in the middle of a divorce and am only 22, pregnant with my second child with only 4 weeks until my due date. I married young for all the right reasons and my heart was in the right place but my husband cheated on me. Not to throw a pity party but I just need people to talk to. It gets easier evey day and I know I was a good Godly wife. I just don't understand. But I realize that this pain is only temporary and joy comes in the morning. I have a beautiful son who is a year and a half and another boy shortly coming. I am also starting Grad school in 2 weeks working towards a doctorate in Clinical Psychology. Just moved states being super pregnant! Its just difficult being single again...especially after having someone there to come home to for 3 years.

I am strong and know things will get easier with time. I also know God can take every bad circumstance and use it towards His glory, but I hope that shortly I find a green pasture to lie down in so I can rest my heart and mind.

You certainly have a full plate. God is with you, rest in Him and enjoy loving your little ones. You are beginning a new life for the three of you and God specializes in new beginnings, doesn't He? Our prayers are with you, sister. :)

I really feel for you because of what you've been through and the challenge that you face right now, especially trying to raise a kid while getting an advanced degree. I pray that God eases your burden and at the same time makes life more fulfilling for you no matter what he has in store for your future.

My heart breaks for you as I have been where you are now, 2 years ago. God's grace has carried me through in times when I never thought possible. Sometimes the road to healing can seem so far off but once we get to that place we look back in amazment at how much God brings us through.

Know that you and your boys are prayed for. I commend your maturity and faithfulness. I, too, was cheated on after 12 1/2 years of marriage. There is nothing I can say to help you understand why these things happen in a Godly home because I still don't understand. It's been almost 13 years and my 'babies' are all grown up. My 21 yo daughter is a Sr in college and studying Sociology. My son just graduated high school and focusing on Arts/Photography. These passed 2 weeks he has been at a Christian camp for his 12th year! by choice, praise God. Both kids are sensitive in spirit and just all around good kids. I never thought it would be easy and at times it was not, but I never lost site of the ONE who carried me/us through all of this. Their father is not and has not been a part of their lives and that actually turned out for the better for all of us. Our Father is sufficient enough! These two beautiful kids have challenged me at times but I honestly cannot remember those times because the good and the blessings far out way the challenges. Praise God for His Word and His Promise. Get connected in a small group if you are not already. These awesome women will sustain you. God Bless you and I will pray for you and your precious babies.... and even your ex-husband. That was probably the hardest thing I had to bring my self to do... pray for him too!

Thank you Ciaobella! I needed to hear that. I am nervous on raising 2 boys on my own but at the same tine I realize I have to rely on God to step in fully and be their father. Unfortunately my husband isn't concerned for the boys but I don't want that to hinder them in anyway. I pray God raises up these boys to be good, honorable men seeking after Christ. I understand my responsibility to raise them in a Christian home but hearing your kids and how they have succeeded and grown up in Christ is reassuring. I commend you on being a wonderful mother and raising Godly children. I have to admit that praying for my husband has gotten easier. Initially all I felt was intense pain, betrayal, and bitterness but now I can understand that there was a time when our marriage was right and I can cherish those memories. I don't know when the change in his heart began but I do realize he has to stand before God one day and hold accountability for his actions. I only pray in time he will realize his sin and repent to God. I can't change the past but I don't have ill will in my hear to wish him to go to hell. I pray he repents and one day realizes his mistakes but for now I have to focus on my growing family and my future. Its just great to hear your story. God bless you and thank you.
