Dear WISY,
I need help please. I am
trying to figure out something that’s going on with my family member. I have been told that my
family member is selling her body. I
don’t know what to do. I’m embarrassed
and I don’t know how to approach my family member about the issue.
A church member told me on Sunday that she found out her husband
was cheating, and upon investigation she found out that he was paying
prostitutes. Then she told me that it
was my family member that he was paying.
She told me to pray for the both of them, and I agree that we should
pray, but I want my family member to stop the behavior. I saw screenshots of the conversation and it
is indeed my family member who is selling her body to her husband. She is asking for a lot of money and he’s
giving it to her. That explains where
she is getting all the new stuff from.
I
do not want her to go to hell. How
should I talk to her about it? She is a
rebellious girl and doesn’t like to hear about Christ our Savior, so I am not
sure I can communicate with her well. I
don’t know what happened. We used to go
to bible study together, and when we became teenagers she just lost her
religion. Please help.
Signed,
Concerned Family Member
Dear CFM,
I'm sorry to hear that your family member is struggling. There must be some inner turmoil that she's neglecting to deal with, and selling her body is temporarily giving her the satisfaction or validation she needs to get by.
If she's reluctant to embrace your religion then do not base your entire conversation with her on religion and "going to hell". Speak to her about consequences she'll have to face here on earth if she gets caught committing this illegal act. Tell her that her client's wife has discovered what's going on and has identified her. Ask her if she's in need of financial help. Tell her you want to spend more quality time with her. Try your hardest to reach her troubled area, and help her through it.
Kudos to you for taking the time to get suggestions as to how you should deal with this situation. A lot of people would have disassociated themselves and abandoned her. This is a great display of character. The world is in need of a lot more people like you.
I wish all the best.
Walk good,
