Bush September 19, 2009 Share Bush Member September 19, 2009 Man Preach, I would like to talk to you sometime. I've been through all of the above and am going through some of the issues you stated above myself.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfly September 20, 2009 Share dragonfly Member September 20, 2009 Preach, I have no advice, but man that's hard. I just wanted you to know I read this and my heart goes out to you brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuke September 20, 2009 Share MrDuke Member September 20, 2009 Wow, Preach. I'm sorry for all the hurting. How old are your kids? Reason being my brother went through it and his kids were 4 and 6 when he went through it. He struggled on how to be the best dad he could be and wrestled with the same questions you just asked. If you are interested in chatting with him, PM me and I'll get you the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher September 20, 2009 Author Share Preacher Member September 20, 2009 (edited) My daughter will be 16 in Jan. and my son will be 15 in Feb. The main stuff I am struggling with is wanting to be overly permissive due to seeing them hurt. I'm trying to maintain stability and rules, but it's hard. Fortunately both of my kids have really good hearts and are not pushing me to hard to get away with stuff.

MrDuke October 15, 2009 Share MrDuke Member October 15, 2009 Holy cow, Preach!! I read this whole thing and... I'm speechless. I'm sorry I didn't lend an ear sooner. PMing my info now (to chat, not to hit on you). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher October 15, 2009 Author Share Preacher Member October 15, 2009 All those pictures of you wearing nothing but a tastefully placed rose did cheer me up, but how is that not hitting on me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDuke October 16, 2009 Share MrDuke Member October 16, 2009 At least your sick and warped sense of humor hasn't hit the crapper. I'll take a few for the team if it keeps you goin... but not for ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclean October 19, 2009 Share Unclean Member October 19, 2009 I read this story when you first posted it, but didn't know what to say. I figure it's better to say something than nothing at all though. I kept thinking of it in terms of options - either she's making up stories to get out of a marriage instead of trying to make it work, or she actually did them. If it was option A, then that's a horrible thing to do to your family. Option B is just as bad. In either case, my heart really goes out to you. What's helped me through hard times might sound kinda crazy, but it's worked. In the darker times, it really seemed like there was a stormy raincloud following me around (like a cartoon). No matter where you go or what you do, it's always there darkening your mood. Yet as the days go by, that raincloud gets smaller and smaller. The storm turns into a sprinkle, and one day it stops completely. I don't think that cloud ever goes away completely, but the rain does stop.

MrDuke October 19, 2009 Share MrDuke Member October 19, 2009 I'm sorry Preach. I pray she finds a healthy and true path. If you counsel couples then you know, it takes two committed people to make a relationship. One person giving it all they've got won't cut it. One day at a time, my man. Take comfort in the 'little' blessings that are all over the place. Call if you want to chat. Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preacher October 20, 2009 Author Share Preacher Member October 20, 2009 I do - deleted previous posts due to possibility of my kids coming across it. Continued prayers are coveted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
