@avant-garde I'll be praying in earnest for you this week, that the new pastor is understanding and caring.
It's really hard when someone knows your background and they speak on topics that are sensitive. It's hard not to feel targeted if it happens all the time. Of course they would probably say no I am not targeting you, it's for the entire congregation and you're just being sensitive but you're not being oversensitive at all. You have a legitimate concern that it might be intentional, but why would he do that? It's just not at all appropriate.
Hugs my sweet girl.
By the way, my house is full of clutter too. I moved back into my house 3 years ago and I still have stuff in the carport and living room, as well as the dining room. My car is not full of stuff but only because I am often the driver for my mum and brother whenever we go somewhere.
Most of my clothes are on the floor in my bedroom. I cleaned it when I moved back in and slowly the clothes pile became a floordrobe and I haven't got the motivation to tidy up. Sometimes I'll start by folding shirts and putting them away and hanging dresses and stuff up but it's all just a big untidy mess.
When I say I understand, I truly do. We have a lot in common sweetie. From this day forward I promise I will always be by your side and never judge you.
