Few cents from me...
Personally, I do not believe that any so called " professional Christian counselor" can help.
In our Christian life we need Elders. Godly people who will give Word from God.
This is not a matter of package "know how" supported by Bible verses, but real fellowship and prayer on knees.
Then after hours of talk and prayer, God can reveal His will and wisdome.
I do not know many detailes, but as long he can stay at home, I advise to do it.
Worst thing is, when brother or sister gives strong conditions of living togather.
If Paul encourage us to stay with heathen spouse then so much more we should take care of family which declare is Christian.
When I left LC, my wife was still there. After months Lord attrackted her.
I was not fighting.
My daughter is still there.
I do not know which part is more fighting.
You said: " no advise like: turn to the Lord". I would say: Turn to the Lord with someone!
Unfortunately, they use it as : take care of yourself! Lord will help You!
I can recommend at least one of four sermons of Zac Poonen.
Through the power of ressurection.
The choice can come some day: Lord or family.
But to know this, we need really deep insight of that situation.
I am affraid, that U will get only generall advice here.
Nothing will replace real fellowship. Even on phone.
I do recommend to find saints, to whom You feel you can trust. Godly people.
Not all are religious, and not all are dead.
My brother wanted ascape from ship as first 25 year ago. I told him not to do it and go back to his wife. They are still together.
Without turnig on knees to Real Jesus, who whisper sometimes after hours of silence, ther is no way. ON KNEES.
They do not practice prayer on knees.
If there is a need, even lay down on floor crying. If Lord will tell to you two to go to lawyer, do so.
If He will tell You to do other way, do so.
Remeber, where is "two or three".
It can sounds familiar, but what can I do if they call themself Christians, teach HIGH PICK REVELATIONS and do not practice them?
That is why detox takes long time.
Lord is faithfull. Trust him with all your heart. Do not panick, pray, calm down, and die. He has to die, and you have to die for this situation.
Wait for the Lord.
I know many situations like this with many different results.
I can discribe them, but there is no need for it.
There is only one way- Jesus Christ.
If that brother was on that Way, he will have that longing in his heart.
But if he believed in "other Jesus" it can be good time to find Him and put trust in Him.
I will ad my prayer for this situation.
Read what Jesus tought and apply it in live. Become his disciple.
Pay every price. Walk in His shadow.
Psalm 91 !!!
God bless You all!
