channing:

Christ is Risen!!

May I suggest that you seek out a pastor near your location and schedule a face-to-face meeting? It's one thing to try to get some issues resolved over the internet, but the fact is that it is so impersonal that it probably wouldn't do much good. I don't think any member of the clergy would really like to get involved in a deep issues thing over the net. There are so many people playing games on the net that prudence would suggest ignoring your request.

If you're not comfortable with someone close to home, try a couple towns away and ask for a confidential session. The important thing is the personal contact.

Not close. Matthews is in the Charlotte area.

Too bad. The pastor of the Ruthenian parish there is a very good man. Perhaps you could look him up in the directory here, and either send him an e-mail or give him a call to explain your problem and your need.

Father Damon Geiger always talked a lot of sense into me - not that other priests aren't wise.

The considerations mentioned by Theophan in an earlier post are right on target & I'd second them.
