I feel very connected to you regarding your ...Wow! I feel very connected to you regarding your conversation with Sr. Pastor (and many other situations). I've been there, unfortunately more than once or twice. I've had the rug ripped right from under me and I was the church worker (with no spouse for support - I was alone and still alone). One does not expect to get that kind of response from their pastor. I also talked with my Dist. Pres. and got even less respect and no empathy at all. He was more interested in who was passing by his door than what I was saying!!!<br /><br />Thankfully, I now have a pastor who is compassionate and can empathize. Unfortunatly, he has had incredible sorrowful situations in his personal life while our shepherd and is a true man of faith and a wonderful pastor. I pray you find that also. It's hard when someone we're taught to look up to and respect, hurts us so. <br /><br />Trust is difficult at times for me, not just with persons of authority, but with most people/situations. I too, am still healing. Unfortunately, meds are not working too well. I have lost "faith" in talk therapy and thus feel like I'm bobbing in the high, stormy waves. Land at times seems so far away, but some days I feel like I'm on a sandbar, but still far off from land. The sandbar gives me just enough energy to keep bobbing; but some days I wish I could just give in to the water and drown. Depression SUCKS!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
