VK, the times I got into the most difficult situations of my life were when I left home for college(I was very sheltered and protected and though I thought i had it all figured out I did not. ) I was 2000 miles from home and not around Christian people. Although not their fault or doing, the decisions were mine, I definitely have lived my life since then very insecure, questioning everything because I had such bad judgement then. I was an adult and old enough to know better. God’s grace and Jesus’ love and sacrifice for my sins saved me. God blessed me with the most wonderful patient husband. I think it is very hard to protect your kids when they are not with you which they cant be all the time.
