    Why did HE leave me??

    Things can change for the better. Maybe you need a different type of medicine or some counselling. There is hope. Please do not give up hope. "There is nothing new under the sun" - A very important thing to remember. Someone told me that when I was young and suffering terribly, like you. I...

    The childfree and parents thread!!

    There are many people who are not cut-out to be parents but because of their fertility, religion, etc, they end up as parents. Parenting can be a struggle for some people (maybe most people). So please don't feel so alone. There are many of us out there who struggle. As far as sterilization is...

    Sterilization

    I would never force anyone to be sterilized. I would not even talk them into it. I would just love to be sterilized myself. It has been my dearest wish for the past seven years but, because of my health problems and the risk of MRSA, I have not permitted myself to go through with it yet...

    Why did HE leave me??

    I believe that God helps us through others. Therefore, if you need help, try to seek the help that you need from other people, e.g. professionals. Perhaps you need some form of medicine or counselling. God gives us other people to help us. But we have to co-operate with his plans by seeking the...

    Life begins at conception, Birth control and abortion logic, help me out.

    The Mirena works differently to the traditional IUDs. It is less likely to be abortificient. There is a strong hormonal component which closes up the uterus and blocks the cervix. Sometimes ovulation is stopped altogether. (Some people need to use it for their heavy periods.)

    3 main concerns wives have for their husbands...

    I hope that my husband will: 1. Live longer than me. 2. Stay awake long enough to be able to drive the car without having an accident.* 3. Be honest enough to tell me if he finds someone else (attractive and has an affair). *He has mild narcolepsy.

    How do you manage it?

    Only very recently! I was raised Catholic and was Catholic right up until a couple of months ago. I converted to Anglicanism because of the Birth Control issue in the Catholic Church. Some people (in my family and on CF) just would not permit me to be Catholic AND use birth control. It must be...

    How do you manage it?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birth_control http://www.fda.gov/Fdac/features/1997/babytabl.html *Preven and Plan B: - Does this mean that there is a 20% failure rate???? :eek: OK, to answer your question: if we take the average failure rate to be 5%, that means that out of 100 women per...

    How do you manage it?

    Without the option of abortion, how do a Christian couple choose to be child-free? How is it possible? All contraceptives have a failure rate. Therefore, sooner or later a couple are going to find that they are pregnant, so how can they "choose" to be child-free? Edit: Apologies for posting...

    Mental problems, addictions, and marriage...

    Depends whether it was being married to him that made her get depressed. ;) Depends whether it was being married to her that made him get angry. ;) Although this makes sense in evolutionary terms, as Christians we cannot condone this, unfortunately. ;)

    Is contracepting really a sin?

    What about social welfare payments for food, clothing, medical care, dental care and glasses, etc. If a couple have social welfare payments to cover all that, is it OK for them to ditch the contraception and start a family? Let's suppose that a woman has found herself in a situation where she...

    Are you still being abused?

    Yes, I am still being abused after 40+ years. Unfortunately, I am related to two people with narcissistic personality disorders. They both use me for narcissistic supply. I went from one household with a narcissistic parent to another household with a narcissistic parent-in-law. I managed to...

    If you are remotely catholic (i.e. even Anglican) try praying the rosary. It is a powerful prayer.

    If you were the Bishop, would you publicise it on the internet?
