Thank you, Laurie, Libby, Mystic Mom, Mara and Andy! <3<3<3

Anonymous, those accusations are so difficult and I'm glad this article encouraged you. Perhaps these verses will too:

1 John 3:19-21
(NKJV)

19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before Him. 20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God.

This is extremely encouraging. I HAVE been accused of being dishonoring/disrespectful and the case I have in mind, my conscience clears me of any wrongdoing. I was asked for my thoughts on a matter, I prayerfully gave them, with scripture and encouragement, and was thanked. Only a few years later was I told this was "evidence" of my dishonor and disrespectful attitudes. Thankfully by that time I had been out of the mind warp long enough that I could see it for what it was. It doesn't hurt any less, but it doesn't poison everything anymore. The truth really does set you free.

Ironically, the person who accuses me of disrespect is very big on wives submitting "absolutely" to their husbands, but yet if I submit to mine above his authority, that's ... bad. Right.

There was no way to "win" or be deemed acceptable. Once you get to the point where you can see that being accepted isn't possible, you can get on with your life and stop waiting for it to happen.

Thank you for the blessing of this post, it encouraged me and blessed me as I am walking with my Lord even though it has me walking away and apart from my family by their own choice. Bright blessings!

I had to make this choice when I was twenty, and I felt like I was choosing between my family and my emotional, intellectual, and spiritual freedom. I will never forget how hard that decision was, but I will never be sorry I chose to leave. No daughter should have to go through what I went through. Thank you for your encouraging words!

Such encouraging and edifying words! Thanks!
