That's even worse!! No wonder she treats you like she does! So, she's copying her mother's behavior she grew up watching......just as I previously said your D would do.

God wanted me to let her go so he could work.


And isn't it just like us to get in His way of working with folks? You know, God is quiet the gentleman and will step aside as long as "we" are trying to fix people. Glad you see it.

I left out alot of details in my intial post because it so much. I came off as being more foolish that I was. I have to admit that I was allowing her to treat me like a doormat. I have totally detached now though.


I am very relieved to know that. I was more than just concerned......I was upset with you. Or..could you tell?

To those that where much is given; much is required. But, you can do all things through Christ which strengthens you. I do not know how an unbeliever gets through the trials of life.

We need to walk in the authority that he has given us and not be wimps.


There you go! And, what "more" assurance can a person get than having that of God? You have nothing to fear and everything to gain as long as you put yourself in God's hands b/c He has a plan for your life and as long as you are obedient to Him....you will be at peace.

So good to hear you say these things! smile

It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
