This is possibly the only area i disagree with the hosts. I understand their stance of staying connected, but there has to be boundaries. Why does the boundaries for alcohol and drug addiction not apply to this sexual addiction?

There are times when we have to say “We love you, but we can not be a part of your life right now, when you are ready for change let us know and we will love you and do everything to help you. But we are not going to enable your addiction by pretending you are something you are not. Also there is a wonderful website called EXODUS that works with those having “gender identy”.

You instruct:
Addicts rarely change on their own, most of the time it is at work or someone at home says ‘you have to get help’. Maybe loosing you would be enough.
Pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change.
I agree totally but feel it should be applied to sexual addiction also.

I believe your council (in this one area) is not Biblical, there are several scriptures which says to confront the person in sin (which you instruct in all other areas) to continue to love them but separate from them for a time. I have a working relationship with a person that is homosexual that knows i can not accept or be a part of her life. We agreed to disagree. Others have wanted me to accept their sexual sin, again i told them i love you and will be there when you choose to change. It took years but they thanked me and now is living in sexual purity.

Even Jesus which did not condemn the woman the woman at the well, did instruct her to go and sin no more.

My step daughters have been known to kill me off from time to time too. Divorce is awful and unfortunately not even Christian people can always have healthy blended families. For many years I have tried to build a bridge between myself and my husband’s ex-wife for the sake of the family. Unfortunately, she is not a Christian and has no interest in having any relationship that doesn’t include my husband and I giving her everything we own. If she were in need I would give her anything. My heart would not allow me to let a child or parent suffer. However, she has a great deal more than I do, including a business that she won in the divorce settlement for the child’s maintenance. She continues to fight in and out of court because she “requires” more and the courts continue to give her all she wants. Meanwhile her new husband gives nothing because he was sneaky enough to get a pre-nup prior to his new marriage. You see not everyone operates in a Godly manner and it is naive of us Christinas to think they do.
It is very upsetting to me to hear people talk about sharing everything you own with your husband when in reality some of us have to share everything with people outside of the relationship who don’t deserve and in my case require it. Dr. Laura Schlessinger talks about not marrying people who are divorced with children under the age of 18 and I agree. Though I love my husband very much I didn’t only marry him — I married his children (who as I mentioned often hypothetically kill me off and divide their inheritance) , his ex-wife, her new husband and their child. If everyone cooperated and did what was fair– always then Steve’s comments about sharing everything with your husband and making the child a participant of your belongings would not be a problem. Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work out that way. When faced with questions about blended families it is important that you all consider that as a possibility.
