Anyone tried Divorce Care Support Group?
| Wed, 08-16-2006 - 12:08pm |
This is a bible/Christian based divorce support group (divorcecare.com). I started to attend in the spring but unfortunately the group I was in stopped during the summer. I have been having such a hard time dealing with things lately that I am looking for a new group that meets all year long. Just thought I'd share this information. Maybe someone else will find this group helpful too.
Anyone else have any suggestions, support groups, etc... on how to survive divorce?

I attended DivorceCare and helped to facilitate some sessions. It is rooted in Christian values and precepts, so I always let people know that right up front. Our church runs DivorceCare continuously, so you can "hop in" any week and keep going as long as you need to.
I don't think it really matters which group you use, just listening to other's stories and getting your story out is important for healing.

I emailed a church in my area to ask about this group. My thought process is if it's based on Christian values and I'm the initiator of a divorce and Christians do not agree with divorce - am I out of place if I'm the initiator or am I wrong about the viewpoint?
I've attended a church for 18 yrs that was my husbands church that he grew up in and I'd really like to find a new church, but struggling with my faith since I'm the initiator. Although there are many biblical things my husband did wrong to support the divorce.
Thanks - And I'm not trying to start a religious conversation, just wondering if this support group is the right fit for me as the initiator. Thanks!
I didn't go through the whole program but I think it would be helpful. There is a section/chaper that deals with "biblical" reasons for the divorce. It was tough to sit and listen to that but it also is helpful to know that there is nothing too big for God to handle and nothing too bad for him to forgive. I think it's forgiving ourselves that forsters all the guilt.
