Dear Queenie,
I’m married to a church pastor who is an alcoholic who gambles and chases other women. We have had to move to new places several times because of his way with women.
Most of our friends are people from the church and they all think my husband is the greatest. I have a part-time job but it’s not enough for me to support myself, so I can’t just move out.
Queenie, what can I do?—Feeling trapped
Dear Feeling trapped,
First, get professional counselling from someone not connected to your church, to help you clarify your thinking and sort out your options. Next, look for a full-time job.
And I have to wonder, what kind of church and congregation would have a man such as you describe in the position of pastor?
