Frequently Asked Questions.
my daughter, who is anorexic and cuts, has been lying and hiding relationships online she is entangled and addicted to. A local friend who has worked with your organization did a thorough room search recently finding 9 email accounts and at least that many older men she is sending photos and face timing. She is angry and unwilling to surrender her mind to the truth of the danger surrounding those connections and I fear she is very motivated to run away to the state where one of these predators lives. What steps do you recommend to both help reclaim her from the manipulation she has succumbed to as well as keep her from bolting when she discovers my husband and my knowledge of her secrets? She was discovered 14 months ago, we went the counseling route as well as doing 24 hour watch on her for months ourselves. Since we set up strong firewalls and internet blocks, we thought we had stopped the leaks, but she maneuvered ways to reclaim those connections, and she is uncooperative. We are switching to a different counselor, but what else do you suggest to block her involvement, but maintain her safety?
How is your daughter face-timing? Does she have her own iPhone? If so, that needs to be cut off. As does access to internet. All computer access must be in common family area (like kitchen or living room) with a password protected connection. Only time she can have access is when someone else puts in the password.
Stick with the counseling as they are the professionals who can give you solid advice on behavioral issues. It is so hard when it is our children. We want them to embrace what we know is good and right for them— but it doesn’t always work out that way. Often times rebellion sets in if we push our belief systems onto them so it is important that we live it as much as we preach it. That our lives and relationships are a reflection of what we are teaching. Also– for you as a parent, I recommend iParent.TV to help you navigate tech more easily and with knowledge.
I pray blessing over you and your household and hope that your daughter will see how much you love her and are concerned for her well-being.
Is it wrong that my wife and I are both very passionate. We’ve been married for 4yrs, and we’re both faithful, but I’m a little sceptic on the frequency of our intimate moments. I don’t think having sex at least once or twice every day (some 4 times in a day) is normal.
If you and your wife are passionate for one another and you both desire sex daily then what is the problem? No, I don’t think it is the “norm” for married folks to be having sex sometimes 4 times in one day but again, if you both desire and are fulfilled by this then who is to say what is normal for you? I say GO FOR IT.
Now if you or she is feeling like there is a problem or there are outside influences etc. then it might be something to visit with a counselor.
I want to ask about Wet dreams, is that a sinful thing? What do you guys think bout it? I’ve been fighting for my sexual purity And I’m a few weeks clean.
How can a dream be a sin? It happens when you are not awake. You are not choosing this- it is the body’s natural release. We do not believe it is sin.
