Well spoken. I too confess to same problem. I met a woman on a mission trip and we left friends. I visited her the next weekend as she lived close to where I was biilding a house. She invited me to stay in her guest room, and after dinner she aske...
I need some help on this one, in most of my relationships in the past. I have pursued the path of intimacy or getting close with a girlfriend by letting my boundaries down, however, I just feel like my self dignity goes with it, if that makes sens...
go to counseling yourself, all you can do is keep your side of the street clean, living in a traumatic environment is like willing placing yourself in a torture camp, don't do that. Sounds like you need to make different living arrangement, and yo...

It helps to remember that the situations in the past are gone and we can't change them. We can let them go a little at a time. It helps to write down the habits and thoughts we want to change and make a plan to change them, then to take small step...
Hi, David,
You inspired me to read Proverbs again. I like my study bible because it has notes in the margin that explain things and gives useful information like historical background. There is a men's study bible also similar to this one. I may get one for my sons. Hope you are doing well. Love, Sheri
I agree with these others. You have a beautiful family. You mentioned the Catholic Church one time. I have some friends who are Catholic. I've heard they have some of the best pre-marital counseling around. If you and your girlfriend haven't worked out your issues, you might give them a try. Love and God bless, Sheri
Hey, you answered my post on the depression site a couple of months ago and I never thanked you. I don't get to things these days. I am still struggling. Sorry, but thanks for your comments.
Hi, David,
Well I guess I answered lots of your questions so you've probably heard enough of my opinions now. But those are the things I've learned so far. Looks like we had some of the same kinds of questions. I hope you won't just accept my word for it or anyone else's for that matter but will find the answers for yourself. Love in Christ and God bless you and your family.
Hi David, Yes... that's right, those aspects of emotional trauma are so important to remember and truly validate my feelings and stages of grief. That can also be an aspect of PTSD. You're right. It was unexpected. I thought he needed time to himself, so I respected that fully, then he just gave up and said "I can't go on". He's not a quitter, so I didn't expect for him to give up like that. I was certainly unprepared. I was hurting and praying, but totally unprepared. I say that I wish I could get angry at him or dislike him, so it could help me get over him and the grieving process, part of the whole "shock, denial, anger, bargaining, acceptance" grieving model. Yes, thank you Lord for knowing how much we can handle and giving us trauma to make us more like His son. Thanks for the encouragement and prayers!!!! Helena
