Stolen Virginity....Family

Nothing tears up relationships quite like have sex out of wedlock. It's not just the two that are involved that is affected but others close to them as well. Many parents feel helpless and believe there is nothing they can do to keep their child from having sex before they get married. Some believe it's not even possible.



What a feeling of powerlessness, it's like arthritis in your authority, paralysis; complete numbness unable to make a move that would cause a difference.

Sex out of wedlock affects parent child relationships. The child has lost their purity and innocence, yet they are still living under their parents roof. Their soul is bonded to someone else, they feel like they should be somewhere else. The parent tends to remain silent regarding the issue they have no idea what to say. Their sense of authority has been stripped. It wasn't just virginity that was stolen it was also family.

How can these types of issues be reconciled? Let's start with communication. It's hard, and we always wished we did a better job of it. Yet it is still the answer. Communicate. Even if it is in tears. Virginity may not come back but family doesn't have to go also.
