I recently went through a very painful divorce. My wife was physically and mentally sick. We were married for 32 years and lived in a beautiful home where we raised our children. Just about all my lifetime memories were there. She wanted divorce due to the effect her disease MS had taken on her. I had been her fulltime caregiver and kept her out of the nursing home all those years but it had taken it 's toll on my health. I walked away from everything just to keep from causing her any discomfort and wanting her to stay in our home since it had been built to accommodate her illness. While we were separated waiting for our divorce my children come in and threw away and sold all of my belongings. Everything I had accumulated in my lifetime was lost. I am a very sentimental person and I have nothing left now. I really feel like my dwelling was plundered and this scripture applies to me.
