Wondering if you’re anywhere around? .. 2018?! lol

AlyM - i'm glad you turned to your parents, even tho they did not respond "perfectly." truth is, none of us is perfect, including our parents, but, as you determined, that does not mean they are worthless. they tried. you appreciate their imperfect response. now you have your husband. it...

It's hard for victims to think clearly on this, but, one important point is, by not speaking up, by remaining silent or even moving away .. the perpetrator is ENABLED to continue offending. It's RARE that these crimes are isolated. Typically, they are repeated again+again. i am amazed that you...

AlyM, First, sorry to read of your assault, as a child. Reprehensible. Glad you are now seeking answers, if not before. One thing that alarms me is (i do not notice) any reference to your PARENTS or other guardians or close loved ones! Have you entrusted anyone with this in your real life...

Need more details. ok. see the link at the top. thank you.

What a touching testimony. i am encouraged by your faith, the guidance and strength it has given you. powerful. Every word resonates, although i have not had identical experiences. Once deep trauma is experienced, or whenever-however the Holy Spirit, The Advocate, The Helper, touches you and...

it's hard, if not impossible, to see, in the moment, how coming through hard tests can lead to a "better than ever" relationship, but, often, it works like that. it really sounds as tho God was guiding you, from early; even then, your husband had the "madness" to think he could have you, and...

Modsquad, wanted to return to your opening post, to study it and pray about each point you've made here. (i like to "separate" thoughts out, to help me grasp them better. my vision isn't great, so, that's part of it, too.) You've made so many points! - You are in need of prayer, this has all...

Thank you, justneedhelp. i'm new to CF, so, unsure. thought my words might not resonate, at all. As you wrote, "Marriage is a very very serious commitment. and it is one that involves God." Agreed, marriage goes beyond human paperwork. Whether we "want" it to, or not! It's more than what we...

This is interesting. When i was younger, i may have felt close to this. Now i have learned more about my faith and God's Will. I have witnessed how others have responded to similar situations, AND, the longer term results and consequences. Now i believe #1 priority to be to keep God at center...

If you have the strength, pray for this young woman. she is headed for pain, no way for her to escape. In her own time, she will need to repent, and change, too. No one escapes. Not in God's time. Her child needs to be removed from interaction with your husband. Very bad "model" for her...

Great you are going on Sundays, it sounds as though this side relationship has been given too much room to grow (in negative ways.) "No room for you on Saturdays?!" It's a good idea to go to be a cheerleader - BEST would be for your husband, and you, to find a team with room for both of you...

:balloon: cmarie - My daughter frequently calls for moral support with her daughter. Obviously, i made parenting LOOK too easy. (Love your CSL quote. right on.)
