If anyone has any advice and would like to share on divorce recovery, making new friends (m & f), moving on, etc., please let me know. I am a 43 y/o male who is trying to start over. I would appreciate all support and prayers. Thanks.

BRCC has DivorceCare which will start up again in August. You can
meet a lot of new people and start to heal before you begin a new
relationship.

I have checked into the DivorceCare classes elsewhere but they do not start until Sep. I will definitely keep it in mind and look forward to it. Thanks for the info!

I have been trying really hard to let Him be in control. It is hard for me lots of times. I have also been praying a lot (for many things) but for more patience and to keep optimstic. Thanks for your support.

Divorce is never easy. It's very much like having a death in the family. The only thing is divorce is not as final as death. It's actually a new life. Even though it is difficult and full of questions, hurt & regret, help is just an arm reach away. You don't have to suffer alone. You don't need to struggle with questions & regret. At least not for ever. Like I said, it's a new life with new difficulties, questions, hurts & regrets.
But it doesn't have to be a new life alone. You have to reach out for help.
When we reach for help, we sometimes connect with people who have been through much worse then us. You not alone unless you choose to be alone.

I understand what you are going through. I was married for 10
years-4children and now divoced for a little over a year. Stay close to
God and get into a small group. Attend Divorce Care in August and DON'T
get involved in an imtimate relationship, right now. You are hurting
and going through I am sure one of the most painful times in your
life. Read not only the Bible, but books that God puts in your
path about healing from divorce. A book I recommend is: Co- Dependancy
No More by: Melanie Beattie. Here is a scripture for you to meditate
on: John 15:16
I will lift you up in prayer...

I have been trying to think of my divorce/situation in that way, as if I have been given a second chance. I do not intend to get involved with anyone anytime soon. I would like to make some new friends with good morals and intentions. I have not chosen to be alone.

Thank you! Exactly what I was thinking. I was hoping to find some sort of support group now, whether it was formal or informal. I have noticed that when I get out and am social that helps greatly. If you hear of anything please let me know.

To all who have responded to my query...I guess I should have put someone's username in my reply so clarify who I was replying to. Forgive me if I have confused anyone. And thanks again for the support and prayers.
