Alien invasion 3.0

[BeingMe]

Wow, Hmama! It always amazes me how the worst can come out in church going people. I am shocked that your pastor is involved. My D28 is having similar problems at her church in St. Louis, MO, but at least she is just a volunteer, not actually an employee (and, her priest is very much behind her). Why do people have to be so mean-spirited? What gratification do they get out of making someone else's life so challenging?

Perhaps, the congregation should know the truth? Although, what purpose that would serve, I don't know, except that the truth will be known. I guess, God will reveal it in His time. My only advice in this sitch, is to trust that God has a plan for your life, and that He wants you to be happy, and to know joy. So, choose the right, walk the high road, and do not let your heart be troubled. (I think of the words from a hymn - Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, … omnipotent hand.)

In MCing, the truth should be spoken, no matter how it pains your H. Definitely, assure him that you will not compromise his R with his daughter, but you will not force her to be happy that he has left the family. He has to expect that she will be angry with him, and that there is nothing much you can do about that.

Good luck! Thinking of ya! (((((hugs)))))
