My father was gay. In later years, he said that he married my mother to "get over it." NO ONE had any clue until many years later. NO ONE suspected, other than my mother. He was very adept at keeping up the front. If anyone other than my mother did suspect, they never said one word because he was a vibrant personality who could charm the birds from the trees, sang so beautifully, and headed up the Sunday school dept.

It has NOTHING to do with you being spiritually dead.

I hope your daughter has a wonderful, joyous life. It took my mother years, but now I watch her laughing and happily remarried and loving her life. I see her at peace.

It leaves deep scars on the family. But time passing makes the scars less tender.

You, your daughter, your grandchildren are in my prayers.

I have no Idea where they got this doctrine either. I vividly remember people laying on the floor coughing up froth and being totally weary and exausted. they was trying so hard to purge their soul.
I'm a little lost on your "C" word - what is it please

your post offers a lot of hope and encouragement. I don't think it was a good idea to reveal that it was your father though

Nothing wrong with honesty. Also, I thought it was good that they revealed it because it let her know how close to that type of situaltion they were. It is not the perspective of an outsider but someone who has lived the same nightmare her family is in right now.
