Divorce and remarriage are among the most painful and complicated pastoral realities churches face. Many sincere people are looking for clear, Biblical answers. Sadly, they usually hear conflicting messages, especially when there has been abuse, abandonment, or repeated covenant-breaking. The result is confusion, shame, guilt, and sometimes life-destroying consequences. 

Controlling and abusive relationships can be confusing, especially when the harmful behavior is mixed with affection, apologies, and “good seasons.”

Many women find themselves asking: Is it really abuse? Why is this happening? Could I fix it if I tried harder?

Sometimes a marriage isn’t just disappointing—it’s destructive. What’s the difference? Does it matter? And if a relationship is destructive, does “being a good Christian” mean I should just submit more and try harder?

Many women have been met with confusing or incomplete answers—sometimes even from well-meaning church leaders.

Being a single mom can feel isolating. It’s like you are carrying the weight of a family with no margin and no one seeing how hard it really is. Michelle knows what that feels like. In her book, The Unseen Companion, her deeply compassionate message is: you are not alone, and God is with you.

Written from one single mom to another, this book is an encouraging, hope-filled resource that keeps returning to one anchoring question: “God, where are You in this?”
