You're a good friend! It means the world to someone to have another human that selflessly give of themselves. I now have a best friend that is like you and I for her. It means the world to each of us just to know the other is there. So, bravo to you for being that person for Kelly.
Linda, you are an angel. I also have a friend that help me as well when I was separating from my ex. Kelly and us are so lucky to have a friend like you.
Im thanking God for you bcuz u have been there for Kelly. It says so much about what a beautiful person u r ❣ im praying for you and your loved ones for many many blessing 🙏💗❣
When I was faced with betrayal, the therapist told me this: there will come a minute you’re not thinking about this every second, an hour that you will not think about this every minute, there will be a day that you will not be thinking about this every hour, and there will be months that you don’t think about it everyday. But when you learn to take care of the minutes, the hours will take care of themselves and the days will pass and you will get back to yourself and create a wonderful life! Prayers dear heart.
WOW! My son is going through so many negative emotions for the past two years since his wife of only five years decided she didn't love him anymore. He's only 26 and they have a son who recently turned six. He says he has depression and anxiety, he's studied Psychology for seven years and now has no ambition to even finish school. He lost his job four months after his wife left and hasn't worked in a year and seven months. I have tried to encourage him in every way I know how and it's seems to fall on deaf ears. When I ask him to listen to something like this video, he says he isn't bothered by the divorce anymore and to stop treating him like a baby. If you have any advice for me to offer him PLEASE share it with me. To top that all off , he's decided he doesn't believe in Yahweh or any greater power, which leaves me at a loss for words because if you don't have hope then what would get you through this life.
@@faith4390 there could be a chemical imbalance with your son. It would be best to have him checked out by a qualified physician. Please pray fully consider getting him into counseling in a Christian atmosphere. I do believe the prayer changes things.
Kelly is a wonderful loving person, she is trying to tell people what helped her doing this time. Divorce hurts so bad and if talking helps her, let her talk , you don’t have to listen. Just watch her beautiful crafts she makes.
Wow I couldn’t say that any better. 😘❤️ As a matter of fact….I’m going through what she is going though and I feel she is talking directly to me. Thank you for understanding
Well said Sis, 💞😘❣️... Amen, no need for the negative or wondering What is to Come, 😜💭❣️ Let's be mindful of the 🆕 that will come, n what Creativity Kelly has to offer from a different prospective n grow through the Pain 🎇💯🎇❣️... We 💖 Kelly 😇 any way we can get her , I'm 🚫 goin through it now but at 1 point, I ,went through a betrayal n it's a whirlwind 🌪️ of emotion on a rollercoaster 🎢 ride ✔️😳❣️... Thank you for saying it 💞❣️
I came here for the crafting, the only one I really follow for crafts. and DT! Listening to Kelly's story is force feeding me something I would not have searched for one my own. Hearing this is something God has worked out in HIS plans, He only forgot to tell me... ty again KB & KBC
Agree. But sometimes listening allows her to get some tips herself and help. Communication is a two way street and others have gone through divorce everyone who have been through it can all help each other.
In the words of Maya Angelou "When someone shows you who they really are, believe them". Having been through a similar situation I can only say their rejection is God's protection. Live a good life as God would want you to do.
Anyone who quotes Maya Angelou is alright with me. No truer words have been spoken. Honey you were enough. Some people aren't worth enough. You made it. Thank God. You are a jewel you'll meet someone who deserves you. Blessings.🙏🏾
"One of the hardest things you will ever have to do, my dear, is grieve the loss of a person who is still alive." - from The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.
I went through a long depression and one day I heard something funny on the radio and I bust out laughing and I thought to my self oh my gosh I laughed. That's when I realized there would be more laughter in my life. And there has been. God bless you.
You will never know how many women you have helped with your raw honesty. I am always amazed at women that allow themselves to be a part of breaking up someone else’s family. I admire your strength and intelligence to remember your daughter is important and not bashing her father is one of the greatest gifts you can give her.
Being that I am someone who lives with depression and anxiety everyday, watching your videos detours my mind from being in those dark times when it's hitting me hard. Thank you
You are a strong person! Mental health isn’t easy and to admit what you struggle with is HUGE!! I too deal with depression and anxiety, it’s a part of me but doesn’t define me!
I think people forget that this is YOUR channel... I love how people think they can and should dictate what you do...not everyone likes farmhouse.. it is perfectly ok to think of other people’s tastes. And it is perfectly ok to share your personal life with your viewers. We are all human and going through this life together. Good and bad. Those who don’t want to watch simply need not click on the video.. Don’t live your life for everyone else. Best wishes. You got this. One day at a time. 8)
I know I’m responding to this so much later than when it was posted, but this phenomenon bothers me so much-when people are so ungrateful that they cannot just accept the generosity of others sharing what they share and just be at peace with taking what they find value in and leaving the rest. If they cannot express appreciation or something positive, why do they have to make comments at all? It’s just infuriating, especially when they criticize someone who is clearly struggling yet also being so generous with sharing with their community. Kelly, I only found your channel today but I truly admire you after watching a couple of the videos where you share what you are going through. Kelly, you are very strong, but yes, of course you are human. Keep moving forward one day at a time. You can do this. You are a lovely human being and you have given me feelings of hope and inspiration today. ❤❤❤❤❤. especially the part about finding something-even 1 small thing every day-to feel grateful and positive about, NO MATTER HOW “SMALL” or insignificant it may seem. The truth is, when you are deeply depressed, no positive or comforting thing is small. It’s huge, and we need to hold onto it and honor its significance. For me, it’s my dog, my ability to take walks in nature, and positive memories-even when they don’t reflect what my life currently feels like. At least I have the memories of a happier time that I can tap into and maybe even recreate when I am feeling better.
I went through a divorce in 2019 after 31 years! It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life! Your husband's behavior has nothing to do with you and it says everything about him. He did you a favor because you deserve better! When you know better you do better! God bless you dear!❤❤❤
Someone said to me shortly after my divorce and I have said it to friends- "YOU did not fail, your marriage did". That little sentence became my go to saying that I repeated to myself anytime I was struggling. ❤
Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things in the world. Everyone has to work through it in their own way. You do whatever helps you make it through to the other side.
And they say the best revenge is him seeing you happy when he is no longer in your life! Although I don't like the word or action of revenge, I do think this is funny and true.
Kelly don’t beat your self up your an amazing person and hey it’s his loss just know that you got it and God has something better waiting for you down the road a little later your fabulous 🥰
I'm going to tell you what my supervisor at work told me one day when I couldn't cope with what was happening. "Edie, he left you along time ago...now you're just going through the paperwork!" A lightbulb went on in my head. You'll get to that lightbulb moment...and you'll have so many of us rooting for you! Love and hugs!
DITTO! The most difficult thing I've ever had to go through. I would take my cancer over and over again than to have had to go through our breakup and divorce of nearly 20 yrs...sounds like same circumstance and infidelity situation. It Absolutely devastated me💔
That makes so much sense. Its true. It doesn't just happen over night. 1 day you're happy and the next day you don't want to be with each other, one with the other or the situation.
Kelly, God bless you. Don't listen to the haters. Sharing your story is a blessing to those who need it. I went through a divorce 21 years ago. I am in a much better place now. You will be too
You were single and living your life with your 2 children before Jeff and I'm sure you were happy then. So I know you'll find that happy place again with your 3 children now. Everything happens for a reason and you got 3 beautiful children out of some of the reasons. And you never know what the future holds for you but it's usually always better then the past so keep your head up and be strong.
Can I just say, "Nail on the head!" You are BEAUTIFUL, inside & out. Wish I would have heard this way back when I was going thru the same thing & SO depressed. God be with you & ignore the negative people!
I am aghast that people think they have the right to tell you what to do. Honey I know exactly what you are talking about, I went through all of that when my ex betrayed me and left. HUGS Sweet Lady! You are a strong lady and you have kids that depend on you, you can do this!
Passing a box of tissue 📦 around to wipe away the sad tears and to pat the happy tears. Kelly we are all hear for you! You are an amazing mom, friend, UA-cam crafter and we can’t wait to see where your new life takes us (lol). I hope Kelly knows that her UA-cam family will have to prescreen anyone that wants to date her, we are like the dad at the door with a shotgun waiting for some kid to try and take our precious daughter on a date… nope! Big hugs 🤗
You have to go through the process of letting go! My parents shamed me after my divorce. 6 weeks after my divorce they told me I should be over it! I was married for 31 years in takes lots of time. You have to pick up the pieces and start over !!! You do have to focus on God and the things you do have! Feel your feelings and walk in your truth!❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you are stronger than you know!!!
I completely understand and my husband did the same thing after 25 years together. Our youngest was a freshman in high school and our life was soon to be about us. He left for a younger woman and moved into his dad’s basement. I was devastated. That was 12 years ago I am now remarried to a absolutely wonderful man. He still lives in his dad’s basement. His so called younger woman dumped him and a year later she was married too. He sits in his dad’s basement feeling sorry for himself and calls me from time to time to reminisce and say he truly is sorry. Yes my now husband has no objections to me talking to my X. Yes Kelly if it wasn’t for my kids and being pushed from something to end up in a much better place. Life truly puts you where you need to be. I can tell you this to this day if I go back in my mind my heart will still feel the pain and a tear will follow. I don’t think the pain ever goes completely away. I think it just gets put in a box until I remember the past.Then I snap out and am so grateful for where my life is now.
Debbie , Thanks for keeping it real and what you said was exactly me to a T...now I'm 71 and I love my husband now more than anything, but yes there is still a tear that falls for my past life .sad a divorce is excruciating..my husband now went through hurts too before we met ...now two broken hearts helped each other mend our broken bits..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. Stay on track. You're doing great. I survived a horrendous divorce that was a result of betrayal, and verbal/physical abuse. I'm much stronger and happier now. And, I met my current husband after many years of building myself to where I needed to be! Carry on, Kelly!! You got this!!
New at this too after knowing him for 40 years. Will always love him he gave me a daughter whom I cherish but someone else makes him happy so I have to find that in me. You are an inspiration Kelly whether you know it or not. Be strong brave girl.
Kelly... My ex told me he was leaving me for another Man on our 21st anniversary. My two children were talking of giving us a big 25th wedding anniversary party. I lived and breathed for this man. I was 16 yrs old when we got married and I would of died with him. I thought I knew this man inside and out but... I never knew him at all. I spent 2 days in the phyche ward of the hospital. I thought our marriage was wonderful and it was a bomb going off. I don't speak bad of my ex in front of my kids or grandchildren. You are good enough! We got some great kids out of the marriage didn't we? I have 5 grandchildren out of my marriage too. Stay strong girl!
This share gave me the feeling of great love and healing that comes from Heaven. God Bless you for telling Kelly & the rest of us your story. Much love.
been there two years ago. There is no shame in getting help and if I wouldn't have got help today I wouldn't be here. To really find myself again was a long road. self-care was even hard. pushing through the pain is hard.
Kelly you are great! I have been fighting deep depression for 3 years. I had an aunt that I was really close to. She was my “Linda” all my life. She was like a mom, sister, and best friend all in one. She was my role model of the kind of person I wanted to be. In 2018 she found out she had an aggressive form of lung cancer and it was already stage 4. Before then, she was the picture of good health and was never a smoker. Instead of trying to beat it, she committed suicide a few months later. I was absolutely devastated. I’m just now starting to see the light again. I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to get out of bed, or shower, or even get dressed. It really helps to hear how someone else deals with getting through the bad days. God bless you! Hold your head up. You got this girl!!!!
Kelly, as a survivor myself, I know you can get through each day ! As I've learned in my 77 years on this earth, it's that every person has a story....I think we need to take the time to listen. thank you so much for putting your story out there ! May God bless you and your family !
I have been going thru this for the last 2 years. What makes it worse is that I'm disabled which has gotten worse. You tube has become my window to the outside. I look forward to your posts. Thank you.
I’m so sorry, Kelly. Everyone who has been broken, and most of us have been broken at least once in our life, identify with you. Our hearts are with you.
Kelly your strength is inspiring. I have been through a divorce 15 years ago and it was horrific. Just the physical separation was devastating. It took me years to heal and move on. My life now I’d everything I wished for. Sometimes we have to go through the storm to experience the rainbow. Wishing you lots of rainbows and happiness.
Kelly, everyone has a hard time dealing with these situations. Don't pay attention to anyone saying they don't want to hear you talk about your life. You're right these videos can help some people. You're also right that everyone makes their own choices and decisions. It sounds like you're working through things ok but we all need people who listen and help them get through. Take care and I'm sending you a hug and prayers.
It’s hard to listen to your story without a lump in my throat. Been there and done that. Everything you said I kept saying Yes, Girl, Yes! Your advice for anyone was wonderful. Keep on keeping on crafty sister. ❤️
Betrayal and infidelity is extremely hard to get over. Especially when it happens twice in your marriage. I've been there. Keep up your positive thoughts. Hugs!!! ❤
I am also going through a divorce. I am further down the journey but love that you are sharing your story. This will help many people- especially with people feeling so isolated right now. There is not enough real ness out there and love you are willing to put your self out there to help and inspire others
You probably won’t see this since your video is from a year ago, but I just wanted to say something. You have hit the nail on the head. It’s so much easier to stay in bed when your depressed. But by doing so you’ll never move on. We all heal in different ways and periods of time, but bottom line is the same. We need others to help and never be afraid to get help. I’m glad you’re doing better now but as you said it didn’t happen over night. Everyone going through a divorce should listen to this video. To me it hurts even more when there is another person involved, but your stronger in the end. Thank you for sharing a very personal message.
Change is good with your style!!! You are learning!!! There is not going to be normal anymore because if COVID. Kelly you are stronger than you think!!! We all are proud of you!!! Baby Steps!!!
I went through this too and asked myself the same questions. I still don't understand it but that's ok. I think you're an amazing woman. And it would have been very helpful for me to have your encouragement so you are helping others more than you know. You're awesome Kelly. ❤️
You have nailed it! You are enough! Do not take responsibility for someone else’s behaviour and problems. Keep growing! You will grieve this loss and you will come out the other side stronger and wiser about the life you want and need! ❤️
We all need a friend like Linda. When someone that positive and caring comes into your life they are there for a reason. And those are few and far between. Bless you, this has happened to me and millions of other women. You keep on going we are here to support you ‼️❤️😊🌸
Let’s Be kind to each other, in this walk through life, you will unwittingly entertain angels. Change can be very healthy. Kelly thank you for you and all you do ♥️
I have been watching your videos for years, I love your content, your personality, your upbeat attitude. To now have some idea of what you have been going through, all the while presenting such positivity and love for what you do, and for your followers, my admiration of you is beyond measure. Praise Jesus for a true friend like you have in Linda. You are going to be way better than alright. I pray that this video touches the hearts of so many who are going through similar losses. I know it will. You are truly a blessing to your followers, and how much more of a blessing to those close to you, Thank you; Kelly for this video. For all of your videos. God bless and keep you and your loved ones❤️🙏❤️
I am not a big commenter but I felt I needed to today. You have been a positive in my life just with your talents you share but with your vloging it is even better. I see you as a strong person but all strong people have weakness. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. I could sure use a Linda and I want to thank Lunda for being your strength when you need her.
Love that you are opening up to us so we can send you prayers and help with your healing. All I can say is that this is Jeffs loss. He has given up a wonderfull woman.
Thank you for this ! I am struggling so much with depression that listening to what you said gives me a little light to aim for. Your an amazing person. God bless you and keep you strong.
My heart goes out to you. However, this too shall pass. Do not blame yourself. It takes two people to make a relationship work. Just look forward and know that God has something and someone better for you.
I went through this YEARS ago and I feel your pain totally. Just keep your head up and focus on you and the kids! I came out on the other side SO MUCH better off!! Don't listen to these other Karens out here - you do you. If they don't like it - don't watch it - move along! Sending love and prayers your way girl! Stay strong!!! 💕
My heart hurts for you. I divorced after 24 years of what thought was a good marriage until I realized my husband not happy. I understand completely understand. I lost 20 pounds because I could not eat. Betrayal is like a punch in the gut, a deep physical hurt. Prayers for you and your daughter.
Wow Kelly just wow you are awesome 👏 not only a great crafter but a AMAZING woman when I was going through something similar my mom told me “ you are a queen, go straighten your crown and be fierce!” You are a queen 👸 we all are !!! 😊❤️
Oh Kelly... I'm so sorry you're going through this. I pray Heavenly Father wraps his arms around you to bring you peace and comfort. I've been there... I know how the heart hurts. Bless you girl, I send hugs from Vermont. I love watching your videos, stay strong in God's word, he is with you always.
Huge hugs! Having seen my folks go thru this and my Mom stick with it, to her own detriment, really...I have seen the damage it causes that lingers...I give you enormous credit for ending it. I wish you joy and growth in your journey forward. 💜
I've went through exactly the same things. I went it through it alone, which is a very long story, but I'm so glad you were blessed with your friends who were your support. Keep moving forward and do your best!!!
I crashed like you did in the beginning. Then i got a therapist. My therapist was wonderful. The before he left after he left and when he showed it was caos. Now that i am over all that, I am doing much better. It was like grieving because of the loss. But now the sun is shinning. Im stronger and I learned from that.
I'm so sorry that your going through this.. I completely understand the thoughts you had about not doing or being enough. I went through it too. But we all go through it differently so I dont want to say I know how you feel cause we all go through it differently. Know that your true blue subscribers are here for you. We all love you💕
I had a Linda when I went through this. My sister and my kids were my strength. A support system is so important. God taught me so many lessons through all of it. I am a strong woman. And now I'm happy and stable I retired this year and I've been cleaning and crafting and watching my grandson growing. It will continue to get better and better. Your faith gives you the base that you'll need in the future. You've got the right mindset. Hang in there. I will continue to pray for you and the kids. It'll be ok.
Hang in there Kelly. I lived through a divorce after 25 years of marriage. You are doing all the right things. You are a good person, you are awesome. Love yourself and continue to be the best you, you can be.
I went through the same exact thing with my daughters dad. It was the one of the hardest thing I ever had to do. I was now a single mom with a (terrible ) 2 yr old. I had not worked while we were married 8 years. I am here to tell you my daughter is now 19 and you are spot on girl. I pray that everyday gets a little better because it will. This too shall pass.
After 33 years It took me along time to realizee I was always enough > He never ever deserved me! I'm now the happiest I've ever been in my life! Honey you will get there
Yes, you are!! I spent 40 years in pain...but now I am soooo happy with my life...he took the money, left me in debt, left our 2 sons, left me with $68.00....will never forget that. But I kept my head up and and plowed thru. Lost the house, car, credit standing...but I have my sons, that is enough. Look for the positive in your life....it well get u thru! Blessing to up!
I too went through a D I V O R C E and I wish I would have had you to tell me to get up, get out, put my make-up on, and to do one thing productive every day. For those of you reading this, Kelly is right...we need to keep on living. We need to do it for our children and most importantly OURSELVES.
It doesn’t make it any easier but it is slightly comforting to know so many women have been in your shoes (myself included) and come out stronger. My husband and I went through a similar thing you did, betrayal. We divorced and remarried. That’s not for everyone, but it does happen. All together we’ve been together 26 years and I’m grateful we found ourselves back together for the long haul.
Kelly, my heart breaks for you!! I'm going thru the same thing. This was my second marriage and the 2nd time I was betrayed. The thing that got me thru was a book. It's called Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life. Please, read this book! It's a game changer!! I'm here for you, if not directly, in my prayers!! ❤❤❤ You are beautiful and YOU ARE ENOUGH!!!
I went through a divorce 28 years ago. I downloaded my favorite Christian songs and I would put my headphones on and walk for hours praising the Lord and thanking him for my Blessings. Afterwards I would have so much peace. Just me and the Lord and he guided me through my bad days and good days. It's my go to now and he never fails.
So sorry your going true this I went through a divorce 14 years . Had to remember that your special don’t dwell on the past move forward you’re special . Thanks for your awesome videos
This is exactly how it feels. The depression is such a struggle. To those who don't understand just getting up and brushing your teeth is moving a mountain,bless you. It's so true how hard just living becomes because pain of the heart is crippling. The beauty is look how strong you become through those struggles. TRUST GOD AND LET HIM CARRY YOU WHEN YOU CANT TAKE ANOTHER STEP!!!🥰
Girl, If I only had this outlet, when I when through mine. Every time you spoke, all I could say was AMEN! I'm so proud of you, A special thank you, to your 2 BEST friends. There's nothing like having that support.
Shame on him! I hope his happiness was worth the unhappiness he has caused his daughter. The thing that helped me the most after being betrayed and divorced was laughing. A co-worker told me about her divorce and she was so funny talking about it I was laughing so hard, I had trouble breathing. But I felt so much better after those deep belly laughs. My situation hadn’t changed, but I FELT better. Then my kids would make me laugh and they just kept me in stitches and I always felt better after laughing. If there’s something that makes you laugh, just embrace it. Hopefully it will make you feel better until you really are better. My ex lived to regret his decision.
God bless Linda. We all need a "Linda" in our lives who just loves us and doesn't let the devil win for a minute, stealing our joy and our time. Go Linda. And Go GIRLS! Kelly, you have got this. 🙏💜🙏
Allison did not get a divorce - her parents did. You are right to focus on her. Don't forget to get her some counseling also. There may be a kids group for the children of divorced parents somewhere nearby. Sorry, this messiness came into your life.
I used to be a group faciltator for a kids support group. I sooo agree with you that kids need their own counseling and peer support...no matter how well they appear to be handling it.
Kelly, I have been here myself!! remember you are a good mom and a good person!! WE LOVE YOU!! you have been my friend for a couple years now even if we have never met!! You will be GREAT!!!!
Kelly I totally know how you feel I went through the exact same thing 34 years ago. It was very very hard. I had good friends that helped me through it, but I remember all the stages. We had two children ages 5 and 17 months and I didn’t think I would make it but I did and came out stronger than I could ever imagine. It took a very long time for me to finally say I’ve got this. So I want to say Kelly you’ve got this girl. Prayers for you and your family.
I am still working on myself after my divorce. Keep praying( if you believe), stay busy, and things will turn around for you. Your strength will show up. It's ok to hurt, do not dwell in it .
Do not give anymore power to him! This is not your fault and never was. He knew he could take your power and he did...at least twice as you speak about it in this VLOG. It is time for you to take back your power and more than that, yourself! Reach out for support...we are here, but please, know your worth and never comprise its value again!
Thank you ladies! It's a hard lesson to learn, but once you have learned it you see things so much more clearly. When you find that you're the one constantly willing to change and give and be better for your partner, the damage is already done and your partner has already emotionally checked out and left you. And you will never find Solace, peace or understanding even if you get the answers to the question of "why"! The only answers you need to find or within yourself and the only question you should be asking is how you didn't see it coming sooner? Again, it's never anything that you did or didn't do it is only what is innately lacking in your partner that drives them to abandon you or cheat. The blame 100% belongs to them. Peace and love to all you ladies and I am always here if anybody needs to talk... I will always be here to listen!
@@christinebrennan4484 that is so true. Funny thing..I have had most of these men come back into my life and basically told me what a mistake they made. They eventually realize what they lost...and the best feeling is when you have moved on and it doesnt really matter anymore to YOU.
On my gosh Kelly you are describing my life. Your strength is incredible. You are so correct that making it through days after divorce/betrayal is the most difficult time in a person's life. You are such an inspiration and please stay strong.
Thank You Kelly! I am not going through a divorce but I lost both my parents 4 days apart last month. Some days it is very hard to want to get out of bed. I know this is a stage of grief and this will pass but this was an excellent reminder to keep putting one foot in front of the other everyday and things will get better. 😊❤️
Hugs and prayers to you. I lost my parents five days apart over 20 years ago-they were in their mid70’s. Much of that year is still blurry but eventually you will move through the grief. Give yourself the necessary time and grace. You will get through and at some point be able to savor your loving memories of them. ❤️
Bravo 👏 Kelly. You got the right attitude. Concentrate on your children and yourself, remember you are not at fault. You are an inspiration to a lot of people ❤. Sending lot of hugs and praying for you all.
Kelly, you are a great example for your children, your family and us as well. Yes, you need to talk to us as we are all the same the world over. We may not all be in the same valley but these valleys do occur for all of us. May God continue to bless you and guide you with wisdom and grace.
❤️✨ Kelly ❤️✨ you are an amazing person, and as you were learning to love yourself and to realize you can’t fix anybody else just yourself… you will get stronger and when you want to stay in bed, stay in bed that’s where you will get your strength back …🥰 not listening to what people are telling you what’s right for you! You got this!❤️✨
I went thru a real hard divorce 15 years ago, my bad days were so many more than good days. Just take life one step at a time. Hurting is OK, things will get easier. God bless you 🙏
Kelly you are such a God loving person. Lean on him! He will take care of you and your children. Keep holding on to all the positive in your life. Your children are number 1 in your life now and in the future. God is walking along side you every single day. Look in the mirror and tell that person you are special and you will get better every single day. I love watching your videos and try to be creative. I fail sometimes but I will keep trying. I love you and am praying for you and your kids. God bless!
I'm not going through the same thing but I am going through a period of depression and your advice was very inspiring. Thank you!!! My prayers for you and your family!!!!
Strong women!! This video had to be so hard to do but sharing your struggles and providing heartfelt encouragement will definitely help others for sure.. I went through the same it seems like a lifetime ago and you are so right get out of bed and start LIVING!! Kelly all the very best to you as you continue the climb up I’ll be tuning in to see some of your amazing crafts. Take good care!!
I went through this and everything you said was on the money. I wanted to not wake up, I wanted to die. I'm in a different place now . We're back together but I'm struggling with feeling like I'm the backup. I still have bad days. I want to send u hugs and love cause you deserve it. Thank you for this vlog and being a strong beautiful woman. May you have a blessed 2024.

So sorry Kelly you are going thru this.Years ago I went thru the same thing after being married for 20 yrs.Hang in there.God Bless you & your family❤️🙏
Love you lots!! I will always be here for you! ❤️❤️❤️
You're a good friend! It means the world to someone to have another human that selflessly give of themselves. I now have a best friend that is like you and I for her. It means the world to each of us just to know the other is there. So, bravo to you for being that person for Kelly.
Linda you're an angel... You'll receive blessings for helping Kelly through this life changing event.
Linda, you are an angel. I also have a friend that help me as well when I was separating from my ex. Kelly and us are so lucky to have a friend like you.
Thank you, Linda ❤️❤️❤️ I'm so grateful she has someone like you in her life. Her life would be on a very different path without you ❤️❤️❤️
Im thanking God for you bcuz u have been there for Kelly. It says so much about what a beautiful person u r ❣ im praying for you and your loved ones for many many blessing 🙏💗❣
When I was faced with betrayal, the therapist told me this: there will come a minute you’re not thinking about this every second, an hour that you will not think about this every minute, there will be a day that you will not be thinking about this every hour, and there will be months that you don’t think about it everyday. But when you learn to take care of the minutes, the hours will take care of themselves and the days will pass and you will get back to yourself and create a wonderful life! Prayers dear heart.
WOW! My son is going through so many negative emotions for the past two years since his wife of only five years decided she didn't love him anymore. He's only 26 and they have a son who recently turned six. He says he has depression and anxiety, he's studied Psychology for seven years and now has no ambition to even finish school. He lost his job four months after his wife left and hasn't worked in a year and seven months. I have tried to encourage him in every way I know how and it's seems to fall on deaf ears. When I ask him to listen to something like this video, he says he isn't bothered by the divorce anymore and to stop treating him like a baby. If you have any advice for me to offer him PLEASE share it with me. To top that all off , he's decided he doesn't believe in Yahweh or any greater power, which leaves me at a loss for words because if you don't have hope then what would get you through this life.
Profound!

@@faith4390 there could be a chemical imbalance with your son. It would be best to have him checked out by a qualified physician. Please pray fully consider getting him into counseling in a Christian atmosphere. I do believe the prayer changes things.
Kelly is a wonderful loving person, she is trying to tell people what helped her doing this time. Divorce hurts so bad and if talking helps her, let her talk , you don’t have to listen. Just watch her beautiful crafts she makes.
Wow I couldn’t say that any better. 😘❤️ As a matter of fact….I’m going through what she is going though and I feel she is talking directly to me. Thank you for understanding
Well said Sis, 💞😘❣️... Amen, no need for the negative or wondering What is to Come, 😜💭❣️ Let's be mindful of the 🆕 that will come, n what Creativity Kelly has to offer from a different prospective n grow through the Pain 🎇💯🎇❣️... We 💖 Kelly 😇 any way we can get her , I'm 🚫 goin through it now but at 1 point, I ,went through a betrayal n it's a whirlwind 🌪️ of emotion on a rollercoaster 🎢 ride ✔️😳❣️... Thank you for saying it 💞❣️
Amen!! Don't be so quick to attack her because you Don't know what lies ahead in your future!!
I came here for the crafting, the only one I really follow for crafts. and DT! Listening to Kelly's story is force feeding me something I would not have searched for one my own. Hearing this is something God has worked out in HIS plans, He only forgot to tell me... ty again KB & KBC
Agree. But sometimes listening allows her to get some tips herself and help. Communication is a two way street and others have gone through divorce everyone who have been through it can all help each other.
In the words of Maya Angelou "When someone shows you who they really are, believe them". Having been through a similar situation I can only say their rejection is God's protection. Live a good life as God would want you to do.
Anyone who quotes Maya Angelou is alright with me. No truer words have been spoken. Honey you were enough. Some people aren't worth enough. You made it. Thank God.
You are a jewel you'll meet someone who deserves you. Blessings.🙏🏾

@@faithandhope807 , sorry for your loss ! It’s incomprehensible when that happens. But Divorce is her story!
I live by this: Women are angels. When someone breaks our wings we continue to fly.
I LOVE THIS, thank you
AMEN!
I have that saying on my bedroom wall. I also live by this.
I love this also. This is going to become one of my beliefs to live by. Thank you for that
Amen
To the haters; shut up and keep moving no one is making you watch her.
Amen…exactly!
I went through a long depression and one day I heard something funny on the radio and I bust out laughing and I thought to my self oh my gosh I laughed. That's when I realized there would be more laughter in my life. And there has been. God bless you.
Love this! I remember going through that too! The “first” laugh is incredible!
You will never know how many women you have helped with your raw honesty. I am always amazed at women that allow themselves to be a part of breaking up someone else’s family. I admire your strength and intelligence to remember your daughter is important and not bashing her father is one of the greatest gifts you can give her.
Being that I am someone who lives with depression and anxiety everyday, watching your videos detours my mind from being in those dark times when it's hitting me hard. Thank you
You are a strong person! Mental health isn’t easy and to admit what you struggle with is HUGE!! I too deal with depression and anxiety, it’s a part of me but doesn’t define me!
@@kelleymurphy7558 I agree I have depression and anxiety to ❤
Ditto!
Same here with the depression and anxiety. It is a condition I have, and treat, but it is not ME in the larger sense. Hang in there, fellow travelers!
I think people forget that this is YOUR channel... I love how people think they can and should dictate what you do...not everyone likes farmhouse.. it is perfectly ok to think of other people’s tastes. And it is perfectly ok to share your personal life with your viewers. We are all human and going through this life together. Good and bad. Those who don’t want to watch simply need not click on the video.. Don’t live your life for everyone else. Best wishes. You got this. One day at a time. 8)
Love this reply Bonnie!! 100% correct!! 👏🏽
Agree 100%!
I completely agree with you!
I know I’m responding to this so much later than when it was posted, but this phenomenon bothers me so much-when people are so ungrateful that they cannot just accept the generosity of others sharing what they share and just be at peace with taking what they find value in and leaving the rest. If they cannot express appreciation or something positive, why do they have to make comments at all? It’s just infuriating, especially when they criticize someone who is clearly struggling yet also being so generous with sharing with their community. Kelly, I only found your channel today but I truly admire you after watching a couple of the videos where you share what you are going through. Kelly, you are very strong, but yes, of course you are human. Keep moving forward one day at a time. You can do this. You are a lovely human being and you have given me feelings of hope and inspiration today. ❤❤❤❤❤. especially the part about finding something-even 1 small thing every day-to feel grateful and positive about, NO MATTER HOW “SMALL” or insignificant it may seem. The truth is, when you are deeply depressed, no positive or comforting thing is small. It’s huge, and we need to hold onto it and honor its significance. For me, it’s my dog, my ability to take walks in nature, and positive memories-even when they don’t reflect what my life currently feels like. At least I have the memories of a happier time that I can tap into and maybe even recreate when I am feeling better.
I went through a divorce in 2019 after 31 years! It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life! Your husband's behavior has nothing to do with you and it says everything about him. He did you a favor because you deserve better! When you know better you do better! God bless you dear!❤❤❤
Someone said to me shortly after my divorce and I have said it to friends- "YOU did not fail, your marriage did".
That little sentence became my go to saying that I repeated to myself anytime I was struggling. ❤
Man we all need a BFF like Linda. I wish I had a friend like that or a family member
Going through a divorce is one of the hardest things in the world. Everyone has to work through it in their own way. You do whatever helps you make it through to the other side.
Yes, going through a divorce is rough but it does get better.
And they say the best revenge is him seeing you happy when he is no longer in your life! Although I don't like the word or action of revenge, I do think this is funny and true.
I have this saying on my Wisdom board at work that says' Resentment is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die'. Very true!
Kelly don’t beat your self up your an amazing person and hey it’s his loss just know that you got it and God has something better waiting for you down the road a little later your fabulous 🥰
I'm going to tell you what my supervisor at work told me one day when I couldn't cope with what was happening. "Edie, he left you along time ago...now you're just going through the paperwork!" A lightbulb went on in my head. You'll get to that lightbulb moment...and you'll have so many of us rooting for you! Love and hugs!
yep no truer words!
DITTO! The most difficult thing I've ever had to go through. I would take my cancer over and over again than to have had to go through our breakup and divorce of nearly 20 yrs...sounds like same circumstance and infidelity situation. It Absolutely devastated me💔
💖❤💖
@@KellyBarlowCreations I realized we won't be the first or the last going through it. Best of Luck Beautiful.
That makes so much sense. Its true. It doesn't just happen over night. 1 day you're happy and the next day you don't want to be with each other, one with the other or the situation.
Kelly, God bless you. Don't listen to the haters. Sharing your story is a blessing to those who need it. I went through a divorce 21 years ago. I am in a much better place now. You will be too
Same...21 yrs ago also...all the best Kelly!
You were single and living your life with your 2 children before Jeff and I'm sure you were happy then. So I know you'll find that happy place again with your 3 children now. Everything happens for a reason and you got 3 beautiful children out of some of the reasons. And you never know what the future holds for you but it's usually always better then the past so keep your head up and be strong.
Can I just say, "Nail on the head!" You are BEAUTIFUL, inside & out. Wish I would have heard this way back when I was going thru the same thing & SO depressed.
God be with you & ignore the negative people!
I am aghast that people think they have the right to tell you what to do. Honey I know exactly what you are talking about, I went through all of that when my ex betrayed me and left. HUGS Sweet Lady! You are a strong lady and you have kids that depend on you, you can do this!
Bless you Hon. 💜🥰
Sweetie, you are strong, having deal with all of that and still do content for your channel, you are amazing!
You've got this! Divorce is never easy, been there, done that. But...you will be stronger & freer. Keep strong. Keep praying. GODS GOT YOU!
Amen. Jesus is the only unconditional love you will ever need prayers from Texas

I hope Kelly knows that her UA-cam family will have to prescreen anyone that wants to date her, we are like the dad at the door with a shotgun waiting for some kid to try and take our precious daughter on a date… nope!
Big hugs 🤗
You have to go through the process of letting go! My parents shamed me after my divorce. 6 weeks after my divorce they told me I should be over it! I was married for 31 years in takes lots of time. You have to pick up the pieces and start over !!! You do have to focus on God and the things you do have! Feel your feelings and walk in your truth!❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 you are stronger than you know!!!
No one understands unless they go through this themselves!!
Prayers for you and everyone who is suffering thru depression, divorce whatever it is.. Stay encouraged, strong and positive. 🙏
Have a blessed day 🤗
Will be praying for you and your daughters. You are a wonderful person and you will be blessed. You are heading in the right direction.
Catrina Thank you for your prayers for all of us dealing with things right now. Prayers for you too sweet lady. 💐
I completely understand and my husband did the same thing after 25 years together. Our youngest was a freshman in high school and our life was soon to be about us. He left for a younger woman and moved into his dad’s basement. I was devastated. That was 12 years ago I am now remarried to a absolutely wonderful man. He still lives in his dad’s basement. His so called younger woman dumped him and a year later she was married too. He sits in his dad’s basement feeling sorry for himself and calls me from time to time to reminisce and say he truly is sorry. Yes my now husband has no objections to me talking to my X. Yes Kelly if it wasn’t for my kids and being pushed from something to end up in a much better place. Life truly puts you where you need to be. I can tell you this to this day if I go back in my mind my heart will still feel the pain and a tear will follow. I don’t think the pain ever goes completely away. I think it just gets put in a box until I remember the past.Then I snap out and am so grateful for where my life is now.
Debbie , Thanks for keeping it real and what you said was exactly me to a T...now I'm 71 and I love my husband now more than anything, but yes there is still a tear that falls for my past life .sad a divorce is excruciating..my husband now went through hurts too before we met ...now two broken hearts helped each other mend our broken bits..
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. Stay on track. You're doing great. I survived a horrendous divorce that was a result of betrayal, and verbal/physical abuse. I'm much stronger and happier now. And, I met my current husband after many years of building myself to where I needed to be! Carry on, Kelly!! You got this!!
This to will pass. You can't testify without going thru a test. Love your courage
New at this too after knowing him for 40 years. Will always love him he gave me a daughter whom I cherish but someone else makes him happy so I have to find that in me. You are an inspiration Kelly whether you know it or not. Be strong brave girl.
Kelly... My ex told me he was leaving me for another Man on our 21st anniversary. My two children were talking of giving us a big 25th wedding anniversary party. I lived and breathed for this man. I was 16 yrs old when we got married and I would of died with him. I thought I knew this man inside and out but... I never knew him at all. I spent 2 days in the phyche ward of the hospital. I thought our marriage was wonderful and it was a bomb going off. I don't speak bad of my ex in front of my kids or grandchildren. You are good enough! We got some great kids out of the marriage didn't we? I have 5 grandchildren out of my marriage too. Stay strong girl!
🥰👍💜 Bless you Hon.
This share gave me the feeling of great love and healing that comes from Heaven. God Bless you for telling Kelly & the rest of us your story. Much love.
😭😭😭 stay bless God’s with you
To be honest, I think it wouldn't have hurt me as much if my ex-husband DID leave me for a Man instead of another woman.
been there two years ago. There is no shame in getting help and if I wouldn't have got help today I wouldn't be here. To really find myself again was a long road. self-care was even hard. pushing through the pain is hard.
Kelly you are great! I have been fighting deep depression for 3 years. I had an aunt that I was really close to. She was my “Linda” all my life. She was like a mom, sister, and best friend all in one. She was my role model of the kind of person I wanted to be. In 2018 she found out she had an aggressive form of lung cancer and it was already stage 4. Before then, she was the picture of good health and was never a smoker. Instead of trying to beat it, she committed suicide a few months later. I was absolutely devastated. I’m just now starting to see the light again. I know exactly what you mean about not wanting to get out of bed, or shower, or even get dressed. It really helps to hear how someone else deals with getting through the bad days. God bless you! Hold your head up. You got this girl!!!!
Kelly, as a survivor myself, I know you can get through each day ! As I've learned in my 77 years on this earth, it's that every person has a story....I think we need to take the time to listen. thank you so much for putting your story out there ! May God bless you and your family !
🤎🤎🤎
I have been going thru this for the last 2 years. What makes it worse is that I'm disabled which has gotten worse. You tube has become my window to the outside. I look forward to your posts. Thank you.
I’m so sorry, Kelly. Everyone who has been broken, and most of us have been broken at least once in our life, identify with you. Our hearts are with you.
Or we have been broken several times
Kelly your strength is inspiring. I have been through a divorce 15 years ago and it was horrific. Just the physical separation was devastating. It took me years to heal and move on. My life now I’d everything I wished for. Sometimes we have to go through the storm to experience the rainbow. Wishing you lots of rainbows and happiness.
Kelly, everyone has a hard time dealing with these situations. Don't pay attention to anyone saying they don't want to hear you talk about your life. You're right these videos can help some people. You're also right that everyone makes their own choices and decisions. It sounds like you're working through things ok but we all need people who listen and help them get through. Take care and I'm sending you a hug and prayers.
It’s hard to listen to your story without a lump in my throat. Been there and done that. Everything you said I kept saying Yes, Girl, Yes! Your advice for anyone was wonderful. Keep on keeping on crafty sister. ❤️
Mimi me too...I get a lump remembering what it felt like..I know everything u are going through..been there too..
Your loss is grief. You have to allow yourself to feel what you feel. Go through it at your own pace.
When my kids were small, even in there teens, I also use to grab a pillow and scream my head off. What a relief it was!
Your best friend is an earth angel, wish everyone was blessed to have such a friend! Someday Kelly, your heart will sing again 🦋
Betrayal and infidelity is extremely hard to get over. Especially when it happens twice in your marriage. I've been there. Keep up your positive thoughts. Hugs!!! ❤
I am also going through a divorce. I am further down the journey but love that you are sharing your story. This will help many people- especially with people feeling so isolated right now. There is not enough real ness out there and love you are willing to put your self out there to help and inspire others
You probably won’t see this since your video is from a year ago, but I just wanted to say something. You have hit the nail on the head. It’s so much easier to stay in bed when your depressed. But by doing so you’ll never move on. We all heal in different ways and periods of time, but bottom line is the same. We need others to help and never be afraid to get help. I’m glad you’re doing better now but as you said it didn’t happen over night. Everyone going through a divorce should listen to this video. To me it hurts even more when there is another person involved, but your stronger in the end. Thank you for sharing a very personal message.
Kelly thank you for sharing. Stay strong and positive my sweet “friend”. You got this!!
Don't let him steel your joy. Live your best life. He's living his. Get up get dress, look your best and get out the house. DO YOU !
Change is good with your style!!! You are learning!!! There is not going to be normal anymore because if COVID. Kelly you are stronger than you think!!! We all are proud of you!!! Baby Steps!!!
I went through this too and asked myself the same questions. I still don't understand it but that's ok.
I think you're an amazing woman. And it would have been very helpful for me to have your encouragement so you are helping others more than you know. You're awesome Kelly. ❤️
You have nailed it! You are enough! Do not take responsibility for someone else’s behaviour and problems. Keep growing! You will grieve this loss and you will come out the other side stronger and wiser about the life you want and need! ❤️
Wait and see how bright the sun will shine when you pass through this dark tunnel and exit the other side. ❤️
We all need a friend like Linda. When someone that positive and caring comes into your life they are there for a reason. And those are few and far between. Bless you, this has happened to me and millions of other women. You keep on going we are here to support you ‼️❤️😊🌸
Let’s Be kind to each other, in this walk through life, you will unwittingly entertain angels. Change can be very healthy. Kelly thank you for you and all you do ♥️
I have been watching your videos for years, I love your content, your personality, your upbeat attitude. To now have some idea of what you have been going through, all the while presenting such positivity and love for what you do, and for your followers, my admiration of you is beyond measure. Praise Jesus for a true friend like you have in Linda. You are going to be way better than alright. I pray that this video touches the hearts of so many who are going through similar losses. I know it will. You are truly a blessing to your followers, and how much more of a blessing to those close to you, Thank you; Kelly for this video. For all of your videos. God bless and keep you and your loved ones❤️🙏❤️
I am not a big commenter but I felt I needed to today. You have been a positive in my life just with your talents you share but with your vloging it is even better. I see you as a strong person but all strong people have weakness. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing. I could sure use a Linda and I want to thank Lunda for being your strength when you need her.
Love that you are opening up to us so we can send you prayers and help with your healing. All I can say is that this is Jeffs loss. He has given up a wonderfull woman.
Thank you for this ! I am struggling so much with depression that listening to what you said gives me a little light to aim for. Your an amazing person. God bless you and keep you strong.
My heart goes out to you.
However, this too shall pass.
Do not blame yourself. It takes two people to make a relationship work.
Just look forward and know that God has something and someone better for you.
I went through this YEARS ago and I feel your pain totally. Just keep your head up and focus on you and the kids! I came out on the other side SO MUCH better off!! Don't listen to these other Karens out here - you do you. If they don't like it - don't watch it - move along! Sending love and prayers your way girl! Stay strong!!! 💕
My heart hurts for you. I divorced after 24 years of what thought was a good marriage until I realized my husband not happy. I understand completely understand. I lost 20 pounds because I could not eat. Betrayal is like a punch in the gut, a deep physical hurt. Prayers for you and your daughter.
I lost 40 lbs when I went through it.
Have a great Birthday .
Wow Kelly just wow you are awesome 👏 not only a great crafter but a AMAZING woman when I was going through something similar my mom told me “ you are a queen, go straighten your crown and be fierce!” You are a queen 👸 we all are !!! 😊❤️
That is really good information that you gave people going through a divorce. Very wise to put your kids first. You are an inspiration.
Oh Kelly... I'm so sorry you're going through this. I pray Heavenly Father wraps his arms around you to bring you peace and comfort. I've been there... I know how the heart hurts. Bless you girl, I send hugs from Vermont. I love watching your videos, stay strong in God's word, he is with you always.
You've got a wonderful attitude. When we fall apart, God can build us up better. Glad you've got such amazing friends. I'm proud of you. 👋🙏🇺🇸☝👍👏
Huge hugs! Having seen my folks go thru this and my Mom stick with it, to her own detriment, really...I have seen the damage it causes that lingers...I give you enormous credit for ending it. I wish you joy and growth in your journey forward. 💜
I've went through exactly the same things. I went it through it alone, which is a very long story, but I'm so glad you were blessed with your friends who were your support. Keep moving forward and do your best!!!
I crashed like you did in the beginning. Then i got a therapist. My therapist was wonderful. The before he left after he left and when he showed it was caos. Now that i am over all that, I am doing much better. It was like grieving because of the loss. But now the sun is shinning. Im stronger and I learned from that.
Kelly, Your being covered by prayer 🙏 we are here for you !
Yes, we do make our own choices, and we also reap what we sow. Praying for you, beautiful lady. 💕
No truer words! I said those exact words to him actually!
I'm so sorry that your going through this.. I completely understand the thoughts you had about not doing or being enough. I went through it too. But we all go through it differently so I dont want to say I know how you feel cause we all go through it differently. Know that your true blue subscribers are here for you. We all love you💕
I had a Linda when I went through this. My sister and my kids were my strength. A support system is so important. God taught me so many lessons through all of it. I am a strong woman. And now I'm happy and stable I retired this year and I've been cleaning and crafting and watching my grandson growing. It will continue to get better and better. Your faith gives you the base that you'll need in the future. You've got the right mindset. Hang in there. I will continue to pray for you and the kids. It'll be ok.
Kelly, You sound like you are on a healthy track towards healing. God Bless you and your family.
Hang in there Kelly. I lived through a divorce after 25 years of marriage. You are doing all the right things. You are a good person, you are awesome. Love yourself and continue to be the best you, you can be.
I went through the same exact thing with my daughters dad. It was the one of the hardest thing I ever had to do. I was now a single mom with a (terrible ) 2 yr old. I had not worked while we were married 8 years. I am here to tell you my daughter is now 19 and you are spot on girl. I pray that everyday gets a little better because it will. This too shall pass.
After 33 years It took me along time to realizee I was always enough > He never ever deserved me! I'm now the happiest I've ever been in my life! Honey you will get there
Yes, you are!! I spent 40 years in pain...but now I am soooo happy with my life...he took the money, left me in debt, left our 2 sons, left me with $68.00....will never forget that. But I kept my head up and and plowed thru. Lost the house, car, credit standing...but I have my sons, that is enough. Look for the positive in your life....it well get u thru! Blessing to up!
I too went through a D I V O R C E and I wish I would have had you to tell me to get up, get out, put my make-up on, and to do one thing productive every day. For those of you reading this, Kelly is right...we need to keep on living. We need to do it for our children and most importantly OURSELVES.
It doesn’t make it any easier but it is slightly comforting to know so many women have been in your shoes (myself included) and come out stronger. My husband and I went through a similar thing you did, betrayal. We divorced and remarried. That’s not for everyone, but it does happen. All together we’ve been together 26 years and I’m grateful we found ourselves back together for the long haul.
Kelly, my heart breaks for you!! I'm going thru the same thing. This was my second marriage and the 2nd time I was betrayed. The thing that got me thru was a book. It's called Leave a Cheater, Gain a Life. Please, read this book! It's a game changer!! I'm here for you, if not directly, in my prayers!! ❤❤❤ You are beautiful and YOU ARE ENOUGH!!!
Well said and great advice.
I went through a divorce 28 years ago. I downloaded my favorite Christian songs and I would put my headphones on and walk for hours praising the Lord and thanking him for my Blessings. Afterwards I would have so much peace. Just me and the Lord and he guided me through my bad days and good days. It's my go to now and he never fails.
What a great idea! Love it!
So sorry your going true this I went through a divorce 14 years . Had to remember that your special don’t dwell on the past move forward you’re special . Thanks for your awesome videos
God bless you and thank you for the heartfelt and raw video. Donna
This is exactly how it feels. The depression is such a struggle. To those who don't understand just getting up and brushing your teeth is moving a mountain,bless you. It's so true how hard just living becomes because pain of the heart is crippling. The beauty is look how strong you become through those struggles. TRUST GOD AND LET HIM CARRY YOU WHEN YOU CANT TAKE ANOTHER STEP!!!🥰
Girl, If I only had this outlet, when I when through mine. Every time you spoke, all I could say was AMEN! I'm so proud of you, A special thank you, to your 2 BEST friends. There's nothing like having that support.
Shame on him! I hope his happiness was worth the unhappiness he has caused his daughter. The thing that helped me the most after being betrayed and divorced was laughing. A co-worker told me about her divorce and she was so funny talking about it I was laughing so hard, I had trouble breathing. But I felt so much better after those deep belly laughs. My situation hadn’t changed, but I FELT better. Then my kids would make me laugh and they just kept me in stitches and I always felt better after laughing. If there’s something that makes you laugh, just embrace it. Hopefully it will make you feel better until you really are better. My ex lived to regret his decision.
They always do.
Laughter is one of God's greatest gifts.
God bless you with His Grace, Kelly! I’m proud of you for honestly ‘talking through this’ with all of us.❤️❤️
God bless Linda. We all need a "Linda" in our lives who just loves us and doesn't let the devil win for a minute, stealing our joy and our time. Go Linda. And Go GIRLS! Kelly, you have got this. 🙏💜🙏
Allison did not get a divorce - her parents did. You are right to focus on her. Don't forget to get her some counseling also. There may be a kids group for the children of divorced parents somewhere nearby. Sorry, this messiness came into your life.
I used to be a group faciltator for a kids support group. I sooo agree with you that kids need their own counseling and peer support...no matter how well they appear to be handling it.
"Living is the part that heals you" - well said !!! THANKS !!!
Kelly, I have been here myself!! remember you are a good mom and a good person!! WE LOVE YOU!! you have been my friend for a couple years now even if we have never met!! You will be GREAT!!!!
Kelly I totally know how you feel I went through the exact same thing 34 years ago. It was very very hard. I had good friends that helped me through it, but I remember all the stages. We had two children ages 5 and 17 months and I didn’t think I would make it but I did and came out stronger than I could ever imagine. It took a very long time for me to finally say I’ve got this. So I want to say Kelly you’ve got this girl. Prayers for you and your family.
I am still working on myself after my divorce. Keep praying( if you believe), stay busy, and things will turn around for you. Your strength will show up. It's ok to hurt, do not dwell in it .
Do not give anymore power to him! This is not your fault and never was. He knew he could take your power and he did...at least twice as you speak about it in this VLOG. It is time for you to take back your power and more than that, yourself! Reach out for support...we are here, but please, know your worth and never comprise its value again!
Well said
ABSOLUTE TRUTH....such a smart comment!
Very well said!
Thank you ladies! It's a hard lesson to learn, but once you have learned it you see things so much more clearly. When you find that you're the one constantly willing to change and give and be better for your partner, the damage is already done and your partner has already emotionally checked out and left you. And you will never find Solace, peace or understanding even if you get the answers to the question of "why"! The only answers you need to find or within yourself and the only question you should be asking is how you didn't see it coming sooner? Again, it's never anything that you did or didn't do it is only what is innately lacking in your partner that drives them to abandon you or cheat. The blame 100% belongs to them. Peace and love to all you ladies and I am always here if anybody needs to talk... I will always be here to listen!
@@christinebrennan4484 that is so true. Funny thing..I have had most of these men come back into my life and basically told me what a mistake they made. They eventually realize what they lost...and the best feeling is when you have moved on and it doesnt really matter anymore to YOU.
On my gosh Kelly you are describing my life. Your strength is incredible. You are so correct that making it through days after divorce/betrayal is the most difficult time in a person's life. You are such an inspiration and please stay strong.
Thank you for this, Kelly. You are helping and inspiring so many people with these vlogs. 💕
Thank You Kelly! I am not going through a divorce but I lost both my parents 4 days apart last month. Some days it is very hard to want to get out of bed. I know this is a stage of grief and this will pass but this was an excellent reminder to keep putting one foot in front of the other everyday and things will get better. 😊❤️
Hugs and prayers to you. I lost my parents five days apart over 20 years ago-they were in their mid70’s. Much of that year is still blurry but eventually you will move through the grief. Give yourself the necessary time and grace. You will get through and at some point be able to savor your loving memories of them. ❤️
Bravo 👏 Kelly. You got the right attitude. Concentrate on your children and yourself, remember you are not at fault. You are an inspiration to a lot of people ❤. Sending lot of hugs and praying for you all.
Kelly, you are a great example for your children, your family and us as well. Yes, you need to talk to us as we are all the same the world over. We may not all be in the same valley but these valleys do occur for all of us. May God continue to bless you and guide you with wisdom and grace.
❤️✨ Kelly ❤️✨ you are an amazing person, and as you were learning to love yourself and to realize you can’t fix anybody else just yourself… you will get stronger and when you want to stay in bed, stay in bed that’s where you will get your strength back …🥰 not listening to what people are telling you what’s right for you! You got this!❤️✨
I went thru a real hard divorce 15 years ago, my bad days were so many more than good days. Just take life one step at a time. Hurting is OK, things will get easier. God bless you 🙏
Kelly you are such a God loving person. Lean on him! He will take care of you and your children. Keep holding on to all the positive in your life. Your children are number 1 in your life now and in the future. God is walking along side you every single day. Look in the mirror and tell that person you are special and you will get better every single day. I love watching your videos and try to be creative. I fail sometimes but I will keep trying. I love you and am praying for you and your kids. God bless!
I'm not going through the same thing but I am going through a period of depression and your advice was very inspiring. Thank you!!! My prayers for you and your family!!!!
❤️❤️❤️
