7 hours. Not bad, but I had nightmares, because someone I trust, a man who is a pastor and the husband of one of my best friends, is coming to stay at my house. He invited himself by way of his wife calling me. I had no say in the matter!!!

I have never had an overnight guest here before. I am not used to having a man living with me. The only man I ever lived with, was my husband. Having been the victim of childhood molestation and adult rape, as well as bullying, my mind does not want to accept that this MAN is a friend, someone I trust. My mind is just saying A MAN? IN OUR HOUSE?? WHILE WE SLEEP??? NOOOOOooooooo!!! This cannot be. You cannot have a man stay and sleep in this house. This is dangerous, just because he is a man.

And no matter how hard I try to tell my mind that he is harmless, a friend, etc. My mind just won't listen!

I don't know what to do.
