I used to be proud of whom i was,now i feel like a betrayal type of person,[how could i do this]type of issue, i cant beleieve of what happened, idk how to tell my bishop,what happened, i feel like a bad person,that i dont have a soul, I miss going to church every sunday and tuesday, knowing what its like to be his and only his child, but i keep holding my self back cuz im disapointed at myself, i feel i betraded him, how can i clear my mind of being the bad one?, he played the revese phycology on me, in the end i feel like the freak in the crowd of misery, "i dont know where my head was or still is", ,with a guy who scamed me. i cant forgive myself,i feel dirty.

Wow dont worry, I know what it feels like to make mistakes along those lines. Dont hold off telling your bishop it will just make things worse, I still havent done that and after three years Im no better off, Hes bishop for a reason and he'll be understanding about what happened. Dont think you betrayed him everyone makes mistakes and your just hurting him by not going back to him. Dont worry everything will be fine and even though it will be alot of work you can correct this.

I really wouldn't know how to deal with htis problem... but! That does not mean I cannot give any advice.
I agree with shadow. I don't know how it is to be unknowing of how to tell your bishop something... wait... yes... yes I do....
So scratch that last part. I want you to go get in a meeting with your bishop, and just blurt out everything. I know that its much easier with telling random people on the internet about your problems because you don't see them every day and its harder for them to ridicule you, but, Shadow's right. He's a bishop for a reason, and if you miss church and related activities, why not just go? I don't see a reason why you can't. Pray to the Lord and ask for repentance, read your scriptures, etc. The more you avoid the church because you feel guilty, the worse its going to get.

Well, the bishop here knows you more, and, In my point of view, ifyou're going to be staying in Sacramento for more than about 2 or 3 months, then the one there, because he'll get to know you... even if its not much.
So anyways, if you don't want to risk your secret with your normal bishop, then I suggest the Sacramento one. Otherwise, the normal.

I honestly suggest that you talk to your normal bishop because he knows you better and the longer you hold it off the worse off things will get and the less likely youll want to tell your bishop, once again this happened to me now look at me three years later Im probly worse off now than I was then. Trust me go on and tell your bishop.

I would tell the one in Sacramento. He'll be there to help you work through it.
Look. You're human. You made a mistake. And you know how I can tell you're human? You feel bad about it, to the point where did you say you weren't going to church? You've in a way already started your repentance.
This is Satan's main way of pulling people out of the Church. He's the one telling you that what you did is unforgivable and that you should be ashamed. Christ sees it differently. He's already done something remarkable for you and he WANTS you to take advantage of it! The best way to do that is to talk to your Bishop. He's heard a lot worse than this, I'm sure, so don't think you're the only one it's ever happened to. He's not going to make a face at you and tell you to leave. It is his job to help you out with things like this.
It'll take a lot of courage, it's easier said than done when it comes to admitting. But I know you can do it, and it will make things better, I promise.

I know that this has been a difficult time for you and I've been praying for you. Maybe the Lord decided that this wasn't the right time for you to become a mommy? Hugs! Jenni

I am super sorry that you've been duped, but if you conquer this mistake you can help other girls avoid the same mistake or comfort those who have. It's easier to help someone when you understand what they're going through. That said, Ambra, God loves you and wants you to be happy. We love you and also want you to be happy so we give you this advice: don't hold this in, please go and give up your sins to the Lord. You're not the only one who has ever fought the fear of admitting your mistake. So which Bishop do you tell? Well, it doesn't really matter so long as you complete the process. My suggestion is to avoid a hit and run strategy: you need follow up meetings with that Bishop in order to properly sort things out. He will treat you with compassion and offer great wisdom and he will keep your mistakes confidential. In order for repentence to completely wash away your sins you must hold nothing back. Be strong Ambra, and F.R.O.G.
