Disciple of Prayer
Hello,
Thank you in advance for your prayers. Today, through some personal reflection and research, I believe I may have started to understand the root of what I’ve been struggling with for a long time. As a child, I experienced trauma related to my parents’ marriage and witnessed domestic violence. Later in life, I endured further emotional pain during my own marriage, which ended in divorce. There was emotional and financial abuse, frequent shouting, and infidelity. Now, I notice that when someone raises their voice—especially my eldest son—I shut down emotionally and feel close to tears. A recent experience with a verbally aggressive neighbour brought out the same response in me. My ex-husband continues to make life very difficult, and I don’t understand why. He is remarrying soon, and I’m praying that this will finally bring peace and distance. Right now, I feel overwhelmed, anxious, and incredibly sad. I’m making an effort to attend church more regularly and lean into my faith, but the stress and changes in my life feel like too much at times. Please keep me in your prayers. I truly appreciate it.
