DOJ Epstein files show Jeffrey Epstein directing a victim to read a James Dobson article. This post explains why that advice appealed to a predator—and why it still endangers victims today. 🔗 lifesavingdivorce.com/james-dobson... #epsteinfiles

Many people wonder why Epstein would recommend James Dobson to a victim. Epstein isn’t just suggesting inspirational reading. He’s actively redirecting a victim’s moral compass away from self-protection. 🔗 lifesavingdivorce.com/epstein-jame... This is uncomfortable. But it’s necessary.

1/5 For years, survivors have said certain Christian teachings protect abusers. Now we have DOJ evidence showing how that plays out in real life. 🧵⬇️

What happens when a predator finds his playbook in evangelical counseling? DOJ files show Epstein recommending a James Dobson article to a victim. You need to read this. 🔗 lifesavingdivorce.com/epstein-james-dobson-evangelical-abuse/ #ChurchToo #EpsteinFiles #LifeSavingDivorce

I get this question all the time: “Why is my abuser prospering after divorce?” It feels so unfair when they seem “blessed” and you’re struggling. You’re not alone — and there’s a reason this pain runs so deep in both your heart and your faith. lifesavingdivorce.com/why-do-the-w...

The #GreaterThan campaign sounds pro-child—but many people feel an unease they can’t name. This piece explains why: it ignores real harm, loss, and safety, and elevates ideology over children’s actual safety. lifesavingdivorce.com/greater-than...

I see #GreaterThan is the hashtag for a group of influencers claiming to be “pro-child.” It isn’t. The campaign is led by Katy Faust’s org, which prioritizes ideology over children’s safety and reality. lifesavingdivorce.com/them-before-...

This 60-second video shows why "Lies Women Believe" has harmed so many Christian women. Wives escaping destructive marriages are labeled "deceived" and "hard-hearted"—with no exceptions for abuse, infidelity, or addiction. That teaching is dangerous. Please watch. #lifesavingdivorce

Churches say divorce is about “falling out of love.” Data says otherwise. Infidelity is one of the top reasons people divorce. Women file more often due to: immaturity, porn use, physical/emotional abuse, emotional neglect, and substance abuse. (2014 Relationships in America Survey)

I keep seeing Kentucky’s presumed 50/50 custody law held up as “proof” that equal parenting time works because divorce rates fell. That claim sounds compelling—but it doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. lifesavingdivorce.com/kentucky-50-...

Growing up Christian, many of us were taught 95% of divorces were for ‘frivolous’ reasons. That’s not true. Research shows nearly half happen because of serious harm: abuse, adultery, addiction, or abandonment. In this study of people 40+, abuse and adultery are tied as the #1 reason for divorce.

8 Problems: New Focus On The Family Marriage Report Focus on the Family’s State of the Family study has serious issues. 1️⃣ Abuse is never mentioned in 32-page report 2️⃣ Porn said to affect “just 2.7%” of marriages 3️⃣ Some higher Christian divorce rates than secular couples—without asking why

Focus on the Family’s new State of the Family: Marriage Health in America report looks reassuring. But when read through an abuse-informed Christian lens, it has serious problems. 🧵 8 of them ⬇️

The new year can feel heavy when you’re coming out of a painful season. If all you did was survive, that matters. Healing doesn’t run on a calendar. You don’t need a brand-new you — you need safety, rest, and truth. If you’re still catching your breath, you’re not failing — you’re healing. 🤍

28 years ago, I made the hardest decision of my life—a divorce that saved me and my children. I spent the next 20 years as a single mom, facing struggles but growing stronger. Today I have a loving husband and incredible adult kids. We’re not “broken”—we’re whole, close, and grateful.

Moral Injury helps explain what many abused Christians experience. It happens when: • what’s morally right is betrayed • by someone with authority • in a high-stakes situation (like marriage) When church leaders pressure survivors to stay, the injury deepens. lifesavingdivorce.com/moralinjury

Focus on the Family changed their “Pedophilia in Marriage” article — and made it more dangerous. It minimizes criminal behavior and pressures wives to stay with abusers. We must protect survivors, not predators. 🔗 lifesavingdivorce.com/fotfpedophiliaupdated #FocusOnTheFamily #childabuse

Presumed 50/50 custody sounds fair—but is it safe? A new blog post explores how equal time can endanger kids when one parent struggles with addiction, violence, or instability. Child safety must come before symmetry. lifesavingdivorce.com/problems-wit...

Infidelity Experts say: No matter how loving, forgiving, devout, or flawless you are, you can’t stop a cheater from cheating. Don’t let anyone tell you that your prayers or your godly example are the determining factors in someone else’s infidelity or porn use. Don't buy into the "prevention myth."

Let's not overturn the No-Fault divorce laws. The old at-fault-only divorces endangered lives. When no-fault divorce laws passed in 1970-1984, the suicide rate, domestic violence rate, and homicide rate for wives dropped like a rock. lifesavingdivorce.com/divorcesaves...

If your abusive spouse claims YOU ruined the marriage, you’re experiencing blame-shifting. It takes two to build, but only ONE to destroy. The Invested Spouse tries. The Un-Invested Spouse uses coercion & gaslighting to block the divorce. Your guilt is proof of your investment, not your guilt.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Good, good news.👇

🌿 “I Wish I’d Left Sooner.” That’s what I hear from most parents who left a destructive marriage. Most of them stayed out of love—for their kids, for their faith, for stability—but years later, they see the truth: staying was the harm. 👉https://lifesavingdivorce.com/whentoleave/ #divorce
