		<description>Bad, I do not know what you are feeling and going through. I have not had any of this happen personally to me. I watch it from the outside constantly, I watch it destroy people, but I cannot imagine the battles you must face in your heart an mind. My prayers are with you.</description>

		<description>D, exactly. Semantics. I choose to do what&#039;s right. I figured that statement was enough.</description>

		<description>Tam, 
Thanks for the clarification.  I guess I just see &#039;care&#039; and &#039;love&#039; going together (though different in definition), and the need for choosing both. So, I&#039;ll assume he was seeing the terms as equivalent (i.e. &#039;choosing to love&#039; = care?).  

Where I wanna be too,
D-</description>

		<description>My daughter just attended her first counseling session for being a victim of abuse in her marriage. I don&#039;t think much of her husband; he&#039;s emotionally and intellectually a child, and doesn&#039;t understand how much of a predator and abuser he is. It&#039;s sad because to a degree it&#039;s not his fault; but how do you take someone that is so broken and restore them to anything close to being a decent and contributing member of society - yet alone a loving husband and father.

I don&#039;t say this lightly; he is that far gone, and has no comprehension of his own condition. Every action he takes is a manipulative ploy to get his way. No one is without hope? No one is beyond redemption? I want to believe that, but it will take a miracle (one of those truly inspiring, write a movie of the week, stop the presses intervention type of miracles.

To be honest, I have a hard time praying a prayer that will restore him if it means he&#039;ll continue to be in relationship with my daughter.

Lord, have mercy on me.

		<description>D- said to brent...

&quot;but is it safe to assume from your response in #34 that you don’t even WANT to ‘care’?&quot;

i say, NO. read his response again...

&quot;I don’t care for them. I can’t stand them. I hate what they are doing. But God calls me to love, so I choose to do that. And choose to help those who are willing to receive that help.&quot;

he &quot;chooses&quot; to. therefore he wants to. he wants to honor God in that way.

sorry, but i just wanted to help you see that.
