I'm so glad it's over. I'm so glad you won't have to deal with the absolute bullshit any long. I'm almost giddy with excitement over you guys starting a new chapter. I hope it's awesome.
I so wish for your and your family's sake that it hadn't happened like this, but I am excited for your new adventure. This will be an amazing and positive change for everyone in the (very soon) long run.
If there is help I can provide, let me know. I know people near your current location so there's a chance I could help you network (and of course there are a ton of MLrs).
I'm so happy that you are leaving such an awful situation. I hope the future brings wonderful things for you and your family. I would love to help if we take up a collection.
It just sucks SO much that they jerked you around for so long. How do they expect to have a sustainable ministry if they don't take care of the people doing it?
Glad you guys are getting out, best wishes for a happy, stress-free new chapter in your lives. You certainly deserve it!
I'm so glad you guys are getting out of there and moving onto better things. You all deserve so much better. I too would love to help you PD, please let us know if you guys need anything.
Fingers crossed that events going forward are full of awesomeness, you guys deserve it! ETA just wanted to echo the others about wanting to help (hugs)
I'm so sorry that you are leaving the ministry - these people you've been dealing with...WTF?? But I hope that this new chapter of your life will be positive and that you'll get back on your feet asap. Have you looked at positions. housing in NoVA? I'll send you a PM.

I wish you the very best in your new beginnings. I'm so sad that a group of people who call themselves Christian would treat you this way. They clearly do not understand the teachings. Be your wonderful self!
I have missed quite a bit regarding what happened but I am so sorry you guys are going through all of this. I am happy that you are finally free and I think there are much bigger and better things coming your way!! If you move to CT you must let me know!! (heart) (heart)

I'll just echo everyone else. I'm horrified you were treated this way. I'm ecstatic you are getting out. I'm so hopeful for your future. I think you and your family will do great things.
I hope you allow our community to do what we do best.
Wishing you guys all the best! It's so sad that things ended like this. I've worried about you - thanks for coming back and updating us. We are always here for you!
This is such good news for you and your family. I hope you let us help you through this rough patch, though. I have every confidence that things will take a turn for the awesome very soon.

I'm glad for you and your family's sakes -- and for your and your DH's emotional and physical health -- that you guys don't have to deal with this any more. I know it has to be a huge relief. (And I'd be delighted to help if you decide to accept it!)
I hope this transition period and all of its difficulties passes quickly, and that you guys can find jobs that are satisfying and stable. And I'm just so disappointed and horrified with the church in how this has gone down, the degree of pettiness and vindictiveness you and your DH have had to deal with. It's a sad thing when an organization that is supposed to be based on love and caring for others gets so bad that good people like you do, indeed, deserve congratulations for extricating yourself.
I'm so happy that this toxic situation is getting resolved and that you guys are getting a chance to take charge of your lives and move on to bigger and better things. It's so disheartening that this is coming at the expense of your passion for the ministry, though. Eff those people who undermined and stabbed you in the back.
