I hope time will heal her wounds. I also hope she can see life more clearly as time goes on. You know, one of the biggest lessons God has taught me in the last few years has been, how NOT to judge others. I use to be very judgemental. I thought that because I hadn't committed a particular sin...say murder, I was better than the murderer. Then I recalled how the Word tells us that if we have committed even ONE sin, we've committed them ALL! That brought me down a few notches. Maybe if my sister realized that she too, is just as much a sinner as my mom, she might feel a bit more compassion. It's so easy to be on our moral high horse, when we think we're perfect.
Sometimes my own imperfections and flaws are so apparent that it stings so deeply because I just wish that I was someone else sometimes. But then I pray and Jesus sweetly comes and comforts me.
Thanks Sis for your patience..Sad your dad didn't practice what he preached and gave your mom a loving example... What do the other fundie bros and sisters say. Do they understand the stand your sis takes. Thanks...peace to you..Kim

I think you're forgetting that there are two people who make a marriage work, and two to cause it to fail. It's not just her fault. Because I'm not here to trash my father, I won't go into details. As I've said, I'm not taking sides. There's plenty of blame to go around.
This is a good article on forgiveness by Jimmy Akin, which was published in This Rock magazine: http://www.catholic.com/thisrock/2003/0309bt.asp
