This has been the story of my life for 37 years. My so called Christian husband was caught in a lifetime of sex addiction. I've lived a life of being ignored, dismissed and discarded. I ended up getting cancer. I finally left.
It IS. Crazy how much it effects our body not just our mind
We will be praying for you. 🙏
I made the mistake leaving without getting a support network first. Then he made a slander campaign and turned everyone against me. Family included. 😞
We are so sorry to hear this, we will be praying for you.
Spot on. I'm a survivor.
So spot on for what a friend is going through... not sure if I can share this with him though. Feels very dismissive of a situation where the man is being abused. Let's stand up for them too. Abuse is never right. Prayers for all those who are abused to see it clearly and get healing from the destruction it causes. God is the great healer ♡
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and you're absolutely right. Abuse is never acceptable, regardless of gender. It's crucial to acknowledge and stand up against all forms of abuse. Your concern for your friend is understandable, and it's important to approach the situation with empathy and support. God is the great healer, and may His love and guidance bring comfort and restoration to those who need it. 🙏❤
We had a few pastors over the years because we moved a lot. I let each one of them know what was going on. The emotional, financial, mental & verbal abuse i was the victim of.
My pastors had ME go to counseling not him. The pastors did not even call him out on it. They did nothing. They just asked me to pray. They gave no help at all
I'm so sorry to hear this. Are you in a safe place now with your relationship?
Thankfully, i am safe and divorced from my abuser
I love listening to family life today.
Great topic discussion!
Thank you for this content I sent two a couple friends and posted on support group private page for women in destructive marriages
Most churches will not address this with men. It is then called secondary abuse
Yes so true and not the mark of a healthy church! Thanks for listening!
This made me 😢 cry
Like writing a book with Moses🙃
At the 13:06 minute mark you said "this is beyond the regular defensiveness a man would bring." I want to know more about that. That sounds like a good topic of discussion. So a normal, healthy man is regularly defensive?
That's a great question. I think if we're honest, it's normal for human beings to be defensive when they feel wrongly accused, but there is a line where that behavior crosses over into abusive behavior. If the person can't transition from defensiveness into a learning and loving posture to begin healthy communication but instead continues to act out against the other person, this is a sin issue that often results in abusive behavior. It's so important for both parties in relationships to be humble enough to receive feedback and to approach conflict in a healthy and safe way.
