Comments on: About Me http://divorcedcatholicmoms.com Just another WordPress weblog Wed, 09 Nov 2011 23:56:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Manya http://divorcedcatholicmoms.com/about-me-this-blog/comment-page-1/#comment-454 Manya Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:04:23 +0000 http://mssservices.wordpress.com/?page_id=5#comment-454 Laura, Well....all I can say is that it's not the place of our fellow Catholics to judge...I'm pretty sure that God keeps that right to himself (oh, and gives some to the church, too...ie. "whatever you hold bound will be held bound...whatever you loose will be loosed..." etc.) I recommend that you ignore those whom you feel look at you differently when they find out you have step children. Being a divorced Catholic - or marrying one - does not make a person less 'good' or worthy. No one else knows the circumstances and no one else (especially a person of faith!) should take it upon themselves to look down on another. So, I vote for not letting people like that upset you. Getting off my soapbox now. :) Thank you for sharing a bit of your story with us and WELCOME to this site. Manya Laura,

I'm not divorced, but my husband is, and I have three stepchildren. He and his ex also obtained an annulment so our marriage is valid, but I still get some odd looks from fellow Catholics when I say I have stepchildren! It is still hard, even when you follow all the right procedures. I didn't even meet my husband until after he was divorced, but I still feel sometimes I am condemned in the eyes of some of my fellow Catholics. I just wanted to say, thanks for the website!

My children and I have suffered greatly after I decided to end the relationship with their father. We are in therapy still after four years and they have been affected by parental alienation. If you would like more info on the subject please go to www.paawareness.org There are alot of parents being alienated from their kids due to messy divorces and custody cases and it is no longer just a fathers issue.

Looks like I will have to find out why you could not leave a response. You and I are both using the same wordpress software, I think. You give me a lot to live up to in terms of what you have done with your blog. Oh yes, I found your blog by doing a google search on 'divorced catholic dads' - you were and are here in NJ, the 3rd entry. And reading your blog is a delight! Thank you for being truly Catholic. By the way, I hope you have purchased the domain 'divorcedcatholicmoms.com' before someone else who is not as catholic as you gets it. Gotta go work on my own blog instead of admiring yours. Peace Dave Manya,

It's exciting to have my blog found when I've been rather ignoring it. To me, that says that I need to go forward with this more seriously. So thank you for the motivation. I visited your blog and am looking forward to seeing how it grows and evolves. By the way, I tried to leave a comment there but couldn't figure out how to do so....I'm not sure what I was doing wrong. Take care! Manya Dave,

Funny how God is working because I started my web site about the same time as you started your blog. As a matter of fact, I was going to register divorcedcatholicmoms.com and decided not to hoping someone else would do it. Please check out my web site and blog and give me some feedback. I would be delighted to hear from you. Regards, Dave I am glad to see your web site! Funny how God is working because I started my web site about the same time as you started your blog.
