I'm 53 lost my family for telling the truth! My mother who is at home with god,always told me the truth hurts. It also should read,you get hurt for telling the truth.But I believe the man above,has a new journey for me.I pray its not a lonely one.

Yes there is consequences for being truthful but a clear conscious and a pure heart without compromise is the best journey and a peaceful end.
Sending a prayer that you don't have to go it alone in this world although your never alone. Be of good courage!

without details that must be personal, I don't understand how the truth could cost you your family.
when you walk with God you aren't alone. prayers that God wil lead you to a new happiness.

Jesus said concerning HIMSELF, "I am the way, the truth and the life.."

So, when we speak and live in truth, we are sure that it is in line with God's word.

The world does not like truth but as Christians, we should not be tied to the world but to God and HIS word.

When we walk in the light of God's word, we are never alone. God is with us, though we may not see HIM with our physical eyes.

Be encouraged!!!

Thank you.courage I do not lack.faith I have in abundance. The man above one day will exchange my cross for a crown."my belief"

Ten years I kept from my children my x wife was unfaithfull. Until they grew up.l was afraid them being so young I would miss out and they to on family and my true love for them.l stayed until I was happy they would be happy. I always had there trust because I taught them truth was important in family. They say I betrayed that by not telling them years before about there mother being unfaithfull. Ihad to live with her to keep them from being left so young

handy,
I pray that with time they will understand your silence was for the love of them.
I believe in prayer to soften the hearts of others.
being that God gave us free will, we are often stubborn mules.
I know from a different experience of family estrangement that it takes time and patience as well as faith.

since this is the Christian thread I will just say things will work out

as rough as it sounds, they will need you at some point and come round,,

Thank you once again,you speak from the heart and listen with your eyes! A rare god given gift."how wold I know"? Clarempathy, in my case,at times can also be a gift! People hear you trust me,you have a natural gift of understanding.

Thank you. My children have never lost me,I lost them! Even if I have to wait until the next life to hear the words I miss so much"hi dad" be worth the wait.

Please pardon me for asking - is it that somehow forgiveness never worked out its full measure or some other complications crept in? I mean - having that kind of heart (so rare to come by) to continue to live with her - was it not worth forgiving all the way? Why the separation that now leads to her being your ex and the children now finding out about that act of unfaithfulness and seeing it as you having hidden something from them?

I am just trying to understand - no harm meant please.

Hi....If you tell the truth, it becomes a part of your past. If you lie, it becomes a part of your future...pls enjoy your day.

I take no offence! I stayed nine years with my ex,and fullfilled all my duties as a father. And with my ex as a husband,she thought I had silently forgotten what she done several times I add. I only forgave! I stayed for the sake of my 3 girls only. So it wold not have adverse affects on them so young. I was"never " unfaithfull! My girls say I should have told them as children,and left with them then. They say I broke my vow of truth I taught them,now I suffer alone. You see I am "clairempathic" and closer to my god than many realise. I help others on occasion,never selling my self. I moved out to find happiness,and a shoulder at night to put on mine, to just say again to someone special,hey love ya,it wil be ok. Sounds sad? Not to me.

If you tell the truth and it hurts you,then the past never is the past,when you wake up
Every day! Your a man of words"only" not of knowledge. Even from here" I do know" that to be"TRUTH"

Living in Ireland there is a great time difference in reading your replies,but thank you! "truth for you" the kingdom of god is inside you,and when you pray as I know you do. He takes your worries and concerns,to allow you to voice concerns and worries of "others"as you do in prayer! Your in a beautiful place,coming from a bad place! Well done you grow in strength and nature day by day!

Matthew5:32 ,19:9, Ephesians 5:31 my only comfort for trying to live and smile again.

I'm not sure you got my replies,its becoming annoying for me going from page to page,and trying to figure out this devise,and if messages are being received, I just want it known to you I am very grateful, and I mean offence to know one! I'm bound by belief to tell the truth, as I know it.

Hi. I must thank you again for sharing such personal issues to the depth that you have.

I am able to understand the issues better.

But please forgive your wife - I do not want to call her your "ex". Forgive her, especially if she did turn to you in repentance and ask for forgiveness from you.

Based on Biblical standards, it is better to forgive. Now forgiveness is not always a very easy thing - in fact, it is usually harder than easy. And there are always countless reasons why we cannot forgive. But ultimately, it is the best and it earns us a reward in heaven too. But above all, it is a commandment from God - that is, to forgive.

PLEASE FIND A PLACE IN YOUR HEART TO FORGIVE HER. Can you imagine how we betrayed God in the past? But HE still sent JESUS CHRIST. I know this is terribly hard, but please forgive her.

Thank you again. I forgave my wife the first tlme she betrayed me unknown to her! That has always been my way..... Truth.... And forgiveness. She never asked or wanted it. I can never forgive myself,for not having the strength to stay. God gave me the gift to absorb the emotion of,pain and suffering of others at times,and help healing take its course. I have the ability "god given" to sense deep emotion from other,as idid from my wife,she did not want forgiveness,only freedom to do as she pleased. I pray for all,and hold no bitterness towards any one ever,my god at least gave me that understanding,but never gave me the answer to the one question I ask daily,after I thank him for all he sends me,good and bad! Why me "father" but not my will only yours be done, I tell the truth! And it always hurts have I a gift or curse I often wonder.
