Those Christians can be very supportive as long as you walk their walk. What I noticed though was when my husband left me for a 21 year old secretary, I was shunned. My good Christian friends suddenly didn't want my tainted life corrupting theirs. I got angry, I went through a lot for a few years and I knew I had misplaced my faith. Even though I had come to accept there was no God, I had been living that life for so long I felt guilty saying it or thinking it for some time. It's still hard now, not because I have a problem with it or think there could be a God, but because it seems most people do believe and the minute you mention atheism, they want to convince you there is a God and of how wrong you are. I am comforts with atheism. I even welcome the fact there is no afterlife, hope it really.
Hello and welcome!
Your Christian ex-friends sound like jerks. They blame you for what your husband does? He sounds like a jerk, too. I hope your life has been improved with the loss of jerks around you.
