annewandering Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Kikiah, be careful. It is not hard to get trapped into more of a relationship than you were wanting. Remember back to when you wanted nothing to do with him? Now you are finding excuses for his behavior and trying to help him repent and learn even while you say he is looking for an 'in to your life' ? Well he has found an 'in'. You trying to be a good person and not abandoning him to his own fate. He is not in your stewardship, your family, or even your friends. Move back and away and let those in his circle deal with him.
kikiah2 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Posted September 5, 2012 · Hidden Hidden ok well thanks for that advice but let me tell you something, this life is about helping others! I'm not an idiot that has gotten into a situation that will get me in trouble. I am in a situation to help someone make changes in their life and return to the fold. This I will NOT turn my back on! The Lord will help me know when it is no longer where He wants me. There is nothing in this that can cause me harm that I can promise. Unfortunately there isn't enough time to explain the entire story. I am grateful for the concern and understand where it comes from just want others to know that isn't the advice I'm seeking. I'm not in this alone and it isn't dangerous
Guest LiterateParakeet Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 He needs therapy (I say that as someone that goes to therapy). A few articles, scriputures or quotes are not going to be enough to unravel or untangle this. I know from my own untanglings. Fortunately, mine don't involve prison or drugs...but abuse, neglect, disfunctional families...I know loads about those things from my childhood, and your friend needs therapy. If he had cancer you would not expect articles to help, right? You would get him to a doctor. This is no different. I can, if you want, give you links to articles that say in the cases of abuse or addiction, that sometimes therapy is needed...
NeuroTypical Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) Hey kikiah, So, I know you are being played. He is trying to make you his dupe. You are in danger. Of course you don't want to accept this reality. So I propose a simple test. Have your brother, or your father, your bishop, or any other trustworthy LDS male guy contact the guy and offer to interact with him and send him articles and help him change his life. Then after nobody ever hears from him again, you can come here and pay me ten bucks. If I'm wrong, and the brother/father/bishop helps him turn his life around, I'll pay you ten bucks. Deal?

EarlJibbs Posted September 5, 2012 Report Posted September 5, 2012 Church articles dealing specifically with abusive mothers that supply their children drugs and breaking those relationships? This is pretty specific and I cannot recall any dealing with that. Are you looking for something more generic like breaking abusive relationships?As far as the others comments. Since this is a conversive forum you are going to get more advice than you are looking for. Who knows, you may even be able to get something out of it. I know I have when I have posted looking for one thing, but receiving a ton more advice than asked for. Just go with it.
