she is not married and she broke up with her boy friend which was not the birth father but he sined the birth certificate so she could be with a married man

Answer 1

Hi, from what I can gather from this you are a practicing Christian and have tried to do your Christian duty by your friend and now you are a little hurt and maybe confused at how she and her dad have turned on you, well it seems to me that they are in turmoil at this time and are hurting very much, and sick with worry, perhaps they are angry with God for their situation and that He does not appear to be doing anything to help them, and you in a sense represent God to them if you know what I mean, so you were the visible means with which they could vent their anger and frustration.
please do not take this too personally, none of this is your fault, the best thing to do is to give them time and space to come fully to terms with this awful event in their lives and just pray very hard for them.
perhaps you could get together with some like-minded people and have some time of intercessery prayer on the families behalf, as they may be at such a low ebb that they cannot pray for themselves.
I will pray for them and yourself, meanwhile try to be at peace, you will do much more this way.
God bless all concerned in this.

Answer 2

sounds like maybe they are venting from all that they went through or blaming someone for it and you are the target. if you dont leave step back and give them some space to deal with this on their own. was a police report necessary? that is alot for them to go through and maybe if you ask them what they feel about whether they want you to leave would be the question to ask. it is wodnerful that you have been there but maybe it is time to go (not let go). I dont know all the circumstances, just telling you what I see from what you have said. Good Luck and God Bless! Let us know if it all works out. Give them some space. :)

Answer 3

I don't understand the question. First you state that you traveled to another state to take care of your friend and godchild, and then at the end you state that she lives next door. And where is the husband while you're taking over her care? Maybe that's what he's upset about, the fact that you're in her life and pushing him out. He should be the one to take care of his wife, not her best friend. You're there to help, not to assume command.

Answer 4

Since it appears that you are a religious person I would back off for a couple of weeks and pray about the situation. Since you think the Devil might be involved already suggest that you could be right. Use your intuition.

Answer 5

I would say back off for a time,and pray for baby and mom.Emotions may be very high that can reek havoc,just put them in Gods care for now.You've done a tremendous job for a friend,going much further then most.Cast all your concerns on HIM he will direct your steps.You are a wonderful friend,anyone would be so blessed to have you in their life.Also don't forget to forgive them,as this will really benefit you.Blessings to you

Answer 6

I don't understand, what were the circumstances surrounding the "going off on you?" Need more information. It does sound like you should back off if since it came to that. It sounds like everyone involved is under a lot of stress.

Answer 7

My guess its time to take a step back, not let go just let them handle this. I am sure this is hard on them, but give them time to adjust to what is happening. Be there for them if they need you, but go back home and be with your family.
