Very wise, sincere and perceptive disputation you make. Bitterness? Some, but I’ve been married 56 years. Big issue is a son who through an indiscretion got royally hosed by a Jimmy Swaggert type ultra devout “Christian” woman and a very defective judge. Woman and her husband are very well off and son is living in penury for 18 years. Totally criminal unfair system. For that yes I am bitter.
Hey, I dated her in the 1980’s! —— much to my misfortune.
I don’t blame you for being upset. Of course I don’t know the circumstances (none of my business), but I am sorry for your son’s situation. Not everyone who claims to be a Christian truly is a Christian, and even Christians do some really awful things at times.
