That's an interesting question. So I wonder why it is that some believe by being a person of faith, it means one must therefore be perfect? Humans are imperfect. The world itself is imperfect. We all have our own individual problems. Life comes with problems and challenges. That's just the way things are. So why should having any kind of particular faith mean that we must be perfect?

I am sorry you had the experience of feeling judged. Perhaps it isn't exactly the right support group for you? What about a codependency support group that is not faith based?
