My ex and I are separated because his mother turned him against me. We have a son together and it really hurts me to the point where I sometimes can't bear to continue a relationship with the Lord because the woman who destroyed my marriage is a born again christian and I don't understand how someone "filled with the holy spirit" like she claims to be can destroy a family. I used to think God hated divorce and wanted families to stay together but after my experience I'm made to fee like God's divorced me at times coz he thought she deserves him more than my son and i do. Please help me understand why god let this happen. I loved him so much. Please pray for my ex mother in law to stop ruining my life. She has been slandering me at our workplace and using the same lies against me she used to convince my ex he doesn't need me. I'm at the brink of turning away from God. If God is Love why does a Christian inspire Hate in her son toward his Father (remember "thou shalt honour thy father and thy mother") and turn him against his wife (remember "for this reason a man shall leave his father and his maother and the two shall become one flesh. and what god has put together let no man put asunder")
