I just found out over the past 2 or so months my wife of almost 20 years has been reading a lot about deconversion/deconstruction. There was an event about 5 years ago in which she was spiritually abused. For 22-ish+ years, she's been a daily bible reader. Then, it all stopped one day. She used to read a kids version to our 8 year old at bedtime each night, and that stopped too.

She confessed to me last night that she no longer believes in God at all. This is the first I'm hearing about things like deconstruction, but talking to my brother in law about it, it's apparently running rampant in his church, too.

Heads up patriots! I could use all the prayers you got.

Has anyone been faced with this? Has anyone been successful in stopping it? We have 6 kids and she now wants to divorce and go be free.

Something that helped me get over this is the concept of reincarnation. I think the concept of hell can also be likened to suffering on Earth. Think of it this way... Untill you are passed to go to heaven, you keep starting over here in New vessels untill you "get it". This world is of the earth, which Satan rules over anyway. It's his world. In order to be free from this realm you must have extraordinary faith to continue to spread live and positivity despite all the pain, anguish and torment this world gives us. That's why they call it trancendance, it means "rising above". Rrsilliance means rising out of adversity to greater heights than previously possible. Hardship can give us superpowers....if you know how to utilize it. That's what God is teaching us with hardships. To me, the pain and evil in this world are things we must confront and endlessly transform into more positive, elevating and loving energy. Why? To help other souls around us climb the ladder to Heaven with us. It takes strength and immense faith to get over dispair, and really integrate bad things that happen to you. But absorbing bad energy and using that to create new, vibrant and positive energy is what God instructs us to do. That is literally what healing is. That's the way out of this maze, I'm sorry your love is stuck in a dead end. But there are so many dead ends in life and the good part of ending up in one.... Is that you know where you Don't need to be. She needs strength to pick up and keep having faith. Sometimes that cones from rest, but love and cuddles can help. :) show her all the other corners of the maze there are to explore, and why it's a good thing to explore, even of you have failures... You can always learn and grow from them. I hope she can find her own way to have faith. Sending love and prayers yalls way.

Funny, even though it's unbiblical and not really found anywhere. That's kind of how I've always viewed it as well.
