LampShmamp,
Where I am at, it is still lile that- no sympathy, compassion. And I have heard that phrase "Going though it" way too many times.
I have distanced myself over the last year from the church, and am happier for it. But my next step is learning how to get my spouse going in the same direction. They were raised in this. Anyone have any suggestions?
