[BIBLE]For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; 2 Cr 10:4[/BIBLE]
I sincerely need everyone that can pray for me to please do so. Right now my marriage and my family are in major turmoil. About 2 years ago my husband was involved in a situation that totally violated my trust. As a child I was molested and later raped by a man that I trusted with my whole heart. He was my PASTOR. At the time I was being raised by my grandparents who had adopted me. My grandmother went to the church and idolized the pastor so she never believed me. So I stopped trusting her. My grandfather was an alcholic who cared less what happened to me or anyone else in the house. He was always sneaking around my grandmothers back with young girls. So I never did trust him. My mother was a drug addict and prostitute who was never around, and when she was she did more damage than good. Therefore, I could'nt trust her. The pastor on the other hand was the next thing to a father that I had, and he was like God so I thought. I never expected him to hurt me. I trusted him more than I trusted anyone and he violated that trust. Years later here I am married and finally trusting again and once again a man that I love has violated my trust. This has effected me and my family for the last 2 years. I recently found out that my sixteen year old is smoking marijuana and my 14 year has had sex. I have been save and committed to GOD and ministry for the last 12 years. I have done all that I know how to do concerning this marriage and my family. I'm tired now, tired of hurting, tired of being let down, tired of fighting, tired of pretending, tired of waiting, I am just tired. I know what God can do, but it still hurts. At this point I don't even know if I want God to fix it. I FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE PARENT

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am praying for you. Is there any way you can get some Christian counseling for your family? It sounds like some professional help is needed here. God bless you.

You need help with the 14 year old. The marijuana is so rampant in this culture that it is almost impossible to keep kids AWAY from it. This is not your fault, though it feels like it. Peer pressure has a lot to do with it. You can get your 16 year old off the marijuana with a long talk, and show him/her how much it distresses you, and the consequences. You and your husband need counseling. Was this a one-time thing? If it was, it certainly is repairable with the right about of counsel. Perhaps you could find better help in a different church? This is not a generational curse so much as it is the way our culture is going! Sad to say.... you are not alone! There are many people with such problems, and it is not going away soon. Even people without a previous history of such things are finding these things happening to their family. The family is under attack in this world. I will be praying for you. So sorry to hear of your distress, and you do really need as much support and help as you can find. My sympathies.
