Bible Answer: Ames, even though I feel sure that my colleagues on the forum join me in expressing sorrow in regard to your domestic problems, and in prayer on behalf of you and your family, it would hardly be useful to you to seek or act on advice from the members of this forum because we are neither acquainted with the details of your situation nor qualified as professional counsellors. Please therefore consider seeking help from a trusted pastor or other trained Christian counsellor. For your protection and privacy, it is wise to stay on the side of caution and seek confidential assistance with personal matters such as this rather than air them on a public web site. Our prayers are with you and our wishes extend to you that God will guide you to a happy resolution of your problems. --Hank |
