    I'm glad you feel able to step away from that church, who aren't displaying Christ-like behaviour.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    im going to see them on Tuesday, I need to step away from our current church as since the latest developments (on my other thread about biting) they re supporting him and I don't feel comfortable going there anymore.

    That's shocking! I do hope you can find a more supportive church to go to.

    thanks for the advice :cool:

    Hi Foggy,

    I've just read your other thread, not sure shocked quite covers that. As a father, I cannot comprehend how a father (especially one living as a Christian) could do such a thing. Anyhow, as somebody who grew up in an environment where corporal punishment (certainly not biting a child though) was perfectly acceptable, I think you've done the right thing as what your husband did crossed the border of when "punishment" becomes "abuse".

    Your university should have both a counselling service and links to a church. Please do not give up your studies, you've a life to make for yourself and an example to set for your children.

    All the best,
    Alex.

  • I just read that other thread too, and whilst most were supportive, there were some on there who's views and posts genuinely made me sit back and question why I would want to be a part of this board. Unreal, might be a word I could use to describe them. Detached is another.

    Best of luck Foggy, you've got the worst part over with (I hope!) Now time to get out there and kick some @55!!!

    Foggy, just read both threads. Hope you are ok, don't let others wind you up. I know plenty of nurses (both nhs and private) that work set hours, it depends on the area, the hospital and manager. Dig your heels in, you can do this. {{{Hugs}}}

    I could not agree more with this statement.

    I've only just discovered this thread... foggy, you are an amazing woman and I do hope that you are ok now. I agree with the others that you are better off without this sorry excuse for a man, but I think you know that yourself.

    Why was the other thread deleted? What happened?
    Life is a gift... and I intend to make the most of mine :A

    Never regret something that once made you smile :A
