Oh, I thought you called him a sow. 'Cause I was thinking he's a hypocrite for being a porn addict.

What an idiot. "My wife was cheating on me!!!!!"

"Gasp!!! How did you find out?!!!!"

"I was looking over my usual porn sites and found her therrrrrrrrrre!"

Really? She writes a letter to allow him to know how this have affected her life. That's just simply honesty on her part.

Also a good point, she should be accountable for her own actions, not that of her fathers.

David, I see what you are saying and there might be truth to what she is saying, but we ALL are accountable to God in one way or another.

Buuuut.............She doesn't have to allow her father to alter the way she should live.

I don't condone sin either, but I don't really see where dad watching porn would be so devastating for the rest of the children's life (maybe if he was making his children watch it with him or something perverted and not being private). I know it would cause a loss of respect toward the parent. I could easily blame my own hang up's on my parents. My mom gave me away when I was 2 yrs old and I don't even know my dad, but I couldn't imagine airing out the parents dirty laundry if your parents were there for you.

There never has been the perfect mom or dad, but we honor our father and mother to please God. Noah got drunk and naked and his son Ham made sport of it and it brought a curse on his children. I hope you will be able to look past your dad's shortcoming and find the good in him. If it is their you should find it. I am sure our parents could blame their faults upon our grandparents if they wanted.

He has a God given responsibility to protect her life, especially in what would shape her character. A girl or young woman will, for the most part, view men through the same lens she sees her father.

And she took responsibility for her life by forgiving him and marrying a man that was not like him.

To say her father's actions didn't affect her in some ways is a huge oversight.

No argument from me, the father should've considered his child that's a given. I wonder how many of us should blame our parents though seeing how we ALL are shapen in iniquity. I don't give her father a free pass, but to put the blame on our parents is something we ALL could do.
