Two bears, I was so sorry to hear of your experiences. My family background is Southern Baptist & some of them are quite fundamental in their thinking, but they would never behave as you described. I think it is fair to say that what you experienced is *not* characteristic of Southern Baptists, generally, nor should it be of any Christians. I do understand what you mean about good coming out of bad. I underwent an unsought 8-year divorce that left me strong, independent, & much more compassionate. I like the person I am today. best to you, bbc
