Eric, a bit of Ann Landers wisdom: If she won't go, go by yourself. If the 
church is the source of her prejudice, ignore the pastor for he is no 
Christian. Reminds me of radical Muslims -- anyone different is an infidel 
who deserves to die. Make an appointment with that counselor now. You need a 
strong shoulder to lean on. Oh, where does YOUR family fit into this? Larry

Larry,

I've told Amy many many times that she /we needs to see a professional.  
Every time I mention it she just gets angry.  Amy's mother told  the pastor 
of her church about me and he agreed that Amy is wasting her time with me.  
Even though Amy's mother refers to me as "that invalid" she still needs her 
blessing.  I feel better hearing from all of you. .  I told Amy that maybe 
we should hold off on having kids till we got things straight with her 
parents, but we both knew that might never happen.

Jeez, Eric, that's one hell of a situation. my heart breaks for the two of

Evil hiding behind a Bible.
It is unlikely that she will change, barring some miracle. If you haven't 
already, visit a professional counselor. Together, perhaps the two of you 
can give Amy the strength to face up to her. A few prayers wouldn't hurt 
either. I believe just hearing someone else confirm that you are in the 
right would be a source of strength. God bless you, my friend. Larry
