Hi radio flyer,

I feel for you, what the Counselor and the Atty did was awful. It was abuse of power and it's outrageous that this can happen in places where you should get help the most. I have my own issues with forgiveness, but I have difficulty forgiving those who are closest to me.

What I'd like to tell you is, unfortunately there are people who misuse their power or who do harm to others in all areas of life. There is the same percentage of those people in church as there is everywhere, or so I imagine. There are people who go to church to connect with God and help others, people who go there out of habit, and unfortunately also those who intend to corrupt it. I wish there was something one could do against that, but please do not let that spoil your relationship with God or with the church. Maybe try another community and take it with a grain of salt? I know you couldn't do that when you weren't well, because at those times noone can really think straight, I know I can't.

I wish I could give you advice how to handle the resentment, but I struggle with this myself. I just want to let you know that I understand your feelings. I'm glad that you find help in this community, I like it a lot too. I wish you all the best!
