Devastated and Disoriented

The last few years have been a massive fall from grace.

First, my wife became chronically ill less than a year after our wedding.

Then our church community collapsed.

Then, we lost our home to a house fire (that I inadvertently caused).

Next, I realized my wife has been emotionally abusive for years and effectively isolated me from any friends.

Recently, my wife asked for a divorce.

Yesterday, my boss demoted me.

By losing my place among my work peer group, I am losing the last place I felt valued and any sort of sense of belonging/“friendship.”

Looking back, I don’t see anything I really could have done differently to avoid all of this. Somehow God just seems to have been holding a big “F you” up his sleeve.

I don’t know where to go from here.
