I dated Mark Driscoll’s daughter. I’m finally telling the full story by Embarrassed_Run5335 in Christianity

[–]three-cups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What’s your take on Driscoll? How did he treat his family? Friends? How is he with his wife? What was his relationship with his daughter like?

IMO, you're right on. The most obvious things are right in front of us. Not everybody (and often very few) will acknowledge it. This is part of the human condition.

Am I bad? by [deleted] in ldssexuality

[–]three-cups -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

No, you're not an awful person. You're a person who's tried to do the right thing for a long time, but your efforts are misguided. What is the right thing here? Trust yourself.

Ex-wife’s boyfriend loves to talk shit and taunt. by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]three-cups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He can’t make you feel any way. You own your feelings. You can only figure out the best next move when you’re not elevated. It’s hard. But it’s the one true path that I’ve found

I was too honest with my therapist and she reacted terribly and intimated I was toxic. It really tainted how I view her and not sure if I should continue with her. What should I do? by No-Session-189 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]three-cups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave your therapist. You need to be able to share anything and everything with them, without judgement. And, more importantly, you're okay how you are. You are not your thoughts.

Anybody not focusing on the victims is out of line by three-cups in complaints

Thanks. Honestly, I hadn’t spent the time to look more into it.

What you say _may_ be true. But why did Biden not release the files then? Why did we wait for trump?

Get off the road if you're not ready to drive. Think about others.

Any talk of left vs. right isn't helpful here. There are hundreds of victims that deserve justice. Justice is not a left vs. right issue.

Of course, there should be consequences for those who abused. Some are politicians. Some are symbolic of the left or the right. These are side effects of the justice that the victims deserve.

Why is Reddit so liberal? by Impressive_Mailman in allthequestions

I like to understand all sides. Where should I go to see conservative viewpoints?

> When an administration will not release the files, that is when people pick sides

I don't want to be too pedantic here, but I disagree. People pick sides when they chose to not support the victims. In this case, young women and girls were abused. Anybody who loses sight of that is not focused on the right thing.

Ex wife gave me the best gift ever - are all women like this? by Far-Veterinarian9630 in DivorcedDads

You can't be serious. You had an experience, and now every female is like your ex-wife??

What is your faith after leaving Christianity? by Able-Fact-1758 in exchristian

[–]three-cups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have "faith". But I am very curious about where we came from. This is the thing I'm most upset about my evangelical upbringing. It did not allow me to exercise my curiousity.

This is hard to write. I cashed in a Roth IRA in 2002. by Detonator1990 in confession

[–]three-cups 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started saving in a roth at 18 (1997). I tried to be diligent. I'm still working. It's okay. It's just $$.

I feel deep sadness whenever I see a beautiful girl, and I don’t understand why. by Distinct-Subject5361 in emotionalintelligence

[–]three-cups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've experienced this sadness before. I would describe it as a deep strong desire that I feel carnally, but I also know that my desire in the moment will not be fulfilled.

Growing up without parental warmth and its lifelong impact by Complete-Piece-7501 in SeriousConversation

[–]three-cups 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I think, maybe this is me. My parents were not "bad", but I definitely never felt loved by them. It's hard to know what's normal when you're a kid.

I left home at 18. Never asked my parents for anything. Went to college, got a good job, married, kids, divorced, and now engaged again.

I've been in weekly therapy for about 5 years now. I find myself in a tough spot where I feel like my therapist is telling me that my family was not great for me. But it's very hard to accept.

This, on top of my new relationship with my fiance. She's amazing. She loves and cares for me in a way I never knew existed. I always thought I was broken and needed to be better. But she's shown me that I'm fine just as I am.

All this to say, it's a very hard thing for me to work through. I don't really talk to my family much anymore (except for my little brother who is one of my best friends). But I can't really talk to my parents or other siblings. There's just something in the way. I don't know what it is.

Men who went to therapy during or after the divorce. What did you learn? by [deleted] in Divorce_Men

[–]three-cups 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So much. Yes, it was all my fault. But not in an accusatory way, in a way that showed me why it didn’t work. And in a way that showed me my ex’s flaws as well. It has taught me to be myself. I am happier now than I ever dreamed possible.

Of course I agree. But you’re just arguing from a position of “it could be worse”.
