Yes you're right, I have noticed my kids take the role of comforter well and yes I believe they need to see that we all have hurt. Our kids have also been witness to my husband and I having arguments, sometimes quite heated, but they have also seen the discussion,resolution and extra bonding of a relationship that comes afterwards. I am a strong believer in teaching our kids not sheltering them or wrapping them in cotton wool.
It's so nice to hear that your kids don't have Self Esteem issues,it reinforces to me that I'm on the right track.
Thank you so much for your time, you should be a councillor as you have helped me tremendously. May God bless you in all that you do xx

The short of it is I was very wounded by someone and they continue to wound me. It happened again on thurs morning and it sent me into a tailspin. I was questioning my value and why God wouldn't smite my enemy. Finally..after wrestling with those painful emotions for most of the day, I said...who am I to question your ways God. I give this to you...you know what is best for me. Help me to lean into your polishing wheel instead of getting angry when I am hurt.
After I prayed that He lifted the cloud of pain from me and today, the holy spirit has never been more present in my life.

My husband no longer has contact with his family. It's the best thing he ever did.
In order for my husband to have a relationship with his family, he has to compromise his relationship with God. He has to go against biblical principles. On top of that he would have to put up with emotional abuse from his father. At the time this was hindering his walk with Christ because it was making him bitter. He couldn't even function properly that's how bad it was. They were trying to put my husband in the position where he lost total control of his life. God was not having that. The LORD is the only one that can be first in a person's life. So as hard as it's been... God has been faithful. He has been healing my husband and the LORD has been meeting his needs. I don't think the healing would have been able to happen if they were still in his life. So yes, there are times when the LORD calls us to cut our families off. We still can forgive and love them from a distance as God commands us to do.

It is impossible to spoil a baby in the first year of life. This is when it's important to forge a bond with the child to foster security in a child. When the child hits the terrible twos, this is when the child begins to pull back and it is a healthy thing. After this period is when a a healthy balance called interdependence should be formed.
In my case my attachment muscle has been broken and it has affected my relationships. I'm digging deeper into this and am finding it is a very emotional and painful walk. God has been taking me on a trip down memory lane and I keep asking for him to reveal more to me. The real interesting thing is how much of my life and experience in life is related to my attachment muscle being broken.....frankly, in far to many areas to go into here.

When that saying took place issues werent as advanced as they are now. I have a drug addict mom n she has hep c. I see her when I visit my family but I cant take her into my home n care for her like i was for a while cause our bad history . Im on a spiritual journey n shes toxic to it. Plus I have a one year old who i dont want exposed to such a negative attitude . Sometimes our decisions seem permanent or long term but things change n if they dont oh well we have to keep our mind on god.
