The spiritual side to pain of the pathological
The spiritual side to pain of the pathological
I'm struggling with the spiritual aspects of all of this.
It is so complicated. My ex was a licensed pastor, although he did not govern a church, but sat on a church board and was music director at his old church. He plays music at the new from what I know.....
Being the OW, I feel slimed with all of this. I feel so much guilt and shame. It has messed me up so much spiritually.
I'm in so much pain for my participation. i cannot seem to forgive myself. He could care less and isn't asking ANYONE he's hurt for forgiveness. I've thought about this and it's HUGE for me.
He claimed to be such a huge christian. The image was one of devoted husband, father and church goer and I was having an affair with this dick head for TEN YEARS. I believe his lies. I believed it all. When he divorced, he just dated other women offline, found one and married her within five months and still attends church.
I pray for his victims everyday, which include his ex wife and children. I'm not sure she gets his personality disorder or not....but I can't believe that this sudden and quick marriage does not have a HUGE impact on this children as they are believers too, as is Mom.
But I was too. I thought because of his degree in theology and the tons of books he had on his shelf at home (thought he read them all, some he did, but they all collected dust), made him the know it all theologically.
I"m so messed up from all of that.
My relationship with God is so important to me, my faith, to which I keep very personal. I cannot bear to open a bible or to go to church.
Have any of you struggled with your spirituality in the aftermath? One of the things I'm seeing is how truly evil and extreme it is to proclaim personally and with image by going to church and playing piano every Sunday, that that person can literally attempt to suck the soul out of another they have wounded without a second thought. It is absolutely devastating to me on a spiritual level. I really believed in his pontificating about his beliefs. Just that he was caught up in a bad, abusive marriage.
All lies. The insurmountable amount of lies. A true wolf in sheeps clothing.
I pray for his victims everyday. He is truly evil amongst evil.
I would appreciate you sharing your stories and/or any encouragement if you've been through the healing process.
Thank you.
