I think you've been very reasonable about all this from what you've reported about their behavior. I'm glad you've stuck it out this far but don't suffer!

I pray that things work out with Cheryl and this new therapy. I am contemplating moving so please pray that I can find a place with a strong Christian presence and a new church.
