Hi, and welcome! So sorry for all of this. He sounds delusional (the religious thing)....obviously there is something neurological wrong....or perhaps Bi-Polar.......I had a terrible experience with my former pastor....went to him because i was abused for 31 years...I would never see another therapist who was connected with religion. I ended up (because of divorce) voted out of membership, with my name up on a big screen, I was naive and thought he would know how t help.
Religious counselors have a bias, and that is okay, if you believe the same as they do. I think every pastor/counselor needs to have a degree in mental health....same as anyone else...they can do terrible damage if they don't know what they are doing....like in my case.......keep posting and take care of yourself .
Hugs, Sassy
P.S. yes, he should be referred to a psychiatrist/psychologist and i agree.....this sounds like malpractice....Yes, it sounds like there are mental health problems in his background. I would say he needs a complete neurological checkup, etc.....if he is delusional, Bi-polar, or whatever....yes you must keep yoursef and your children safe.
What he is doing...calling you "sick" etc......is called projection....he is really calling HIMself that.
