I am a woman who is just coming out of an emotionally abusive relationship and feeling kind of lost! It never got to the point of physical violence but there has been more than enough name calling and degrading and belittling. I am trying to turn my life around and discover why I choose these types of men in my life and stop myself from doing so. I want so much to find the fairy tale happines I have always dreamed of but just don't think it exsists for me. I have tried different religious avenues and just feel I don't fit in at any of them or anywhere for that matter. Please help me find the strength within myself to either get help or something.... any advise you can offer will be greatly appreciated

Charlotte ... I have no idea where you live so I don't know how accessable you are to TCCC. I would be more than willing to try to help you if you would like. Breaking a pattern can be tough but can be done! If I can help ... please let me know!

I live in Muncie, Indiana. I just feel so empty and lost sometimes! I am sure you hear alot of different issues but I sometimes wonder if it is really worth it. Seems like no matter which way I turn there are walls and more trials and tribulations to contend with! I have children and have been raising them alone for about 10 years. I don't get any help or support except the few friends I have met here. I am sure you have alot on your plate so I don't want to take up too much of your time but I just keep reaching out hoping for a break! I am a very strong person and have a generally positive attitude Guess I am just exhausted from it all. I appreciate your support and willingness to help!
Charlotte ... we need to get together! I will be more than happy to sit and listen to your story and hopefully share some insights. I want you to know there are some people who are in your corner. Let's set up a time to meet. You can either come here to the church ... or I can meet you at a restaurant in Muncie.

Sometimes the best thing we can do is to share our troubles with somebody willing to listen. Sharing burdens is a hallmark of the people of God. As you share, it is amazing what God will reveal to us or have that listener bring out that helps us.
You don't have to walk alone. There are many who are willing to give you support in your struggles.
thank you so much! I know I have a long way to go yet but feel like I have a good start. The Church has really an impact and I think a start to turn in the right direction. As w/ any change I am petrified of change and " doing the wrong thing" but some of the thoughts I have had in the past ( that were not healthy) are seeming to not be so frequent. I actually feel like there is some sort of purpose for me now...And I am very grateful...
I have a huge question. I am a nurse and right now I am watching as one of my residents is slowly dying of bone cancer. I know most certainly that she is not a christian and I don't think she really cares. I am not sure how to even bring up the topic. She is not a position where I can envite her to church. I am worried that when the time comes, she will go to Hell. Have you got any ideas?
