I struggled against suicidal thoughts because of this. Talked myself out of it thankfully..
It's 3am here In Boise, Idaho. I woke up, and this, for some strange reason, came up on my news feed.
My first wife in the 1980s reminds me of you. It's kinda hard for me to watch you without a visceral reaction. My wife was a charismatic, natural leader like you are, though an extrovert. Educated. A dark-haired Slavic beauty from Hungary. Next to the pastor, she was the most influential leader. For a few years before the affair, I sensed she secretly wished she could be his partner in the ministry. We were a part of his home Bible study group, and she talked about him often in our private conversations.
The problem was she started having an affair with our senior pastor in our Baptist church. He resigned, and our marriage ended over their illicit actions. That was back in 1989. Neither one apologized to me for the pain they caused me, which was excruciating.
I still struggle with forgiveness, though I've done it verbally many times to God. But it feels incomplete.
Because of what happened, I've never joined a church and became deeply involved. I've attended churches these past thirty-something years, but only on a superficial level on Sundays.
I seriously considered going into the ministry before the injustice, but never since.
I vividly remember having a personal conversation with this pastor's wife after he resigned. We both hugged each other in tears as the pain was so raw at that time.
Just venting my dormant pain, and trying to find that silver lining, but it's difficult.
I have a hard time understanding how people can have no conscience or compassion
I no longer choose to be an enabler
I can’t make anyone to love me
Do I say, Father forgive Him for he knows not what they do
