I got a divorce after 31 years of emotional and physical abuse. Unfortunately, the church damaged me further...www.churchabusepoetrytherapy.com

My name was put up on a big screen, followed by the words, "Conduct Unbecoming a child of God." I was called to a meeting of deacons (16 men), not allowed to have a woman with me, and asked:"Are you still having sex with your ex.?!

The x abuser...was never called to a meeting......they voted me out because I allowed him to live in my house for awhile after the divorce....Initially, it was that they wuld "take it before the church" if I didn't agree to reconcile. What did they they I had been trying to do for 31 years!!?? Spiritual abuse: A wound which can never heal.
