"The other day, I heard you crying in the bathroom. That was the day that you just couldn’t take it anymore."

I see you outside when our kids are playing. I see you at the pool in the summer. I see you at the bus stop all school year-long. But sadly, I don’t know you as well as I’d like. Nevertheless, I know you’ve got a problem with porn. Why? Because it takes one to know one…

"We spoke and I don't think you fully understood how your children and their behavior affected me, so I am writing this.. maybe it will find its way to you and you will know who you are."

"Every word, action, and conversation is a brushstroke. And when your children prepare to leave home, they are staring at a portrait of God."

"Let me tell you, I'm raising a strong girl, a smart girl and a sweet girl. And I want nothing more than for her to be surrounded with role models who are exactly that."

"We are white, we are straight, we are married, we’re pastors, we’re upper-middle class, so we just had the luxury of not having to care."

"Understand that you will never be her everything. It just won't happen."

Don't say 'sorry to be such a pain.' You're not a pain. You're a person with thoughts and feelings who deserves respect.
