(Part 1/2) My parents got separated when I was 2 years old, but had an on-off relationship. They had my younger sister when I was 4, but still continued with their on-off relations. Because my Dad was always absent, I craved for a father. I was actively involved in different youth fellowships in university and at home. Through one of these fellowships, I met someone whom many people referred to as a mentor and role model on relationships. By coincidence, this man also happened to work in the same organisation and department where I was doing my industrial attachment. We got talking about God and all things related to God, and we became close. Shortly after, he introduced me to his wife. 

Everything was going on fine till we began to want each other. I didn’t have anyone to talk to. This resulted in a cycle of sensual touches between us, running away from God and from home, porn addiction and low self-esteem. There was a day I prayed about the issue and God told me that one day, my troubles would be like water beneath a bridge (Job 11:16-18). But the relationship and all the baggage that came with it didn’t go away immediately.
