Must be from a Christian family. Christians have the highest divorce rates.
Evangelical Christians have higher-than-average divorce rates, new report shows
Date:February 5, 2014Source:Baylor UniversitySummary
espite their strong pro-family values, evangelical Christians have higher-than-average divorce rates -- in fact, being more likely to be divorced than Americans who claim no religion, according to a new study.
Sorry to hear it but you should be aware of the statistics. This is largely attributed to the pressure to get married and have a perfect little family in religious culture while ignoring reality.
I’m not one for fighting, I do not wish to fight and please excuse my French, but HOLY SHIT your response...I just, WOW, just WOW.
I think I legit believe this is the worst thing I have seen on CC, congratulations.
But on a serious note, when people go through divorce, they need support, I should know, my parents divorced when I was in the 7th grade, and it has tremendously effected my life. I wish I wanted to die in the 9th grade, and in college, got on antidepressants (I’m back on them due to this COVID stuff), therapy (Back on that too, can’t be on antidepressants without therapy), and just learn what is appropriate.
I don’t reject reality, I believe we are flawed as humans and it’s all part of the human condition. I’m a person with Aspergers, I didn’t ask for this, but I accept it. It is definitely a part of my identity, just as my much Christian and my opinions/hobbies are. Humans are legit interesting, cause we are all different, and I think if we were all the same, it would make life boring, it is through differences we can learn and improve our knowledge, as I believe anyway.
But back on point, I remember hating my stepparents, I remember when my Dad got remarried, I legit wanted NOTHING to do with my Stepmom’s family, it felt like the worst day of my life, I remember I didn’t want to see my half-sister, and called her an “It” instead of “Her/She” because I was legit pissed off that she came into existence, but now, I can see all of the positives God gave me from this divorce and how he has soften my heart. I will firmly stand in my opinions, but I think having a soft and understanding heart is very important for Christians to have. Don’t show hate, show kindness and trying to understand, to better teach people about God. Respect each other, and if they want to live life their way, then so be it.
And to the OP, I can’t even imagine the pain you are going through, my Dad has always loved me and always tells me how much his kids matter to him. All I can do is keep you in my thoughts when I remember to pray (I struggle with laziness sometimes, trying to figure out my prayer life), I hope your situation gets better.
