Throughout my life I have been bullied for whatever reason (too tall, too skinny, not smart enough...etc..) We've all experienced this from time to time in our lives, but I have always forgiven people who have hurt me or my family.
Recently, a woman whom I have known for a good 35 years has started stalking me and my family members online, slandering our name and destroying an event we had been trying to plan in honor of fallen service members. Her and I were friends for a good many years, but as we grew older, we grew apart.
Without getting too deep into the whole story, I am trying very hard to forgive her, even though she still is persisting with the slanderous attacks, but my family refuses to forgive her and I feel that God may frown upon that. I don't know what to do in this situation. I love my family, but want to do what God expects of me. The worst part is that she claims to be a very religious person that does all she can to help others. So I am so beyond confused that I don't even know what to think anymore. I pray every night that God will give me the answer to this problem and that he will stay close to me and help me through it.
I would love some advice from some people here at Godtube. My family doesn't belong to a church, but we are strong believers in our Father and we need peace.
