I am an autistic father who got a divorce from an angry wife and mother of my child. Being a father was a true blessing and church should have been my safe place. Especially when I want to be part of my daughters life. As my extra wife began alienating me from my daughters life the pastor choose sides and as my ex wife was dating a port orange police officer Pastor Tom decided to further alienate me from my daughters life with a threat telling me not to partake or even visit my daughter while at church. The church began destroying my relationship with my daughter then and there. My daughter would sleep over at the pastors home rather then with me during my agreed divorce for shared visitation. He made himself seem like a better father than me instead of helping the relationship Injad with my daughter. He virtually kidnapped her from my life. Being autistic, even high functioning, did not help me any but over the years my pain and depression grew. I nearly begged for his help during Covid and he only stated that he will make a single effort and that is all. Something that God made, my relationship with my child, he made out to be less important. Months later my depression grew and I attended one service and the words he spoke were completely opposite to what he demonstrated when I asked for help so I ‘Boo’d’ his message said stead of yelling out ‘amen’. He kicked me out of church instead of hearing my pain. I was a true disciple and took part in many activities at this church as well as volunteer when ever possible. I wrote songs of Gods love but that day God died in my life. My father died months later and my daughter wouldn’t even talk to me. She got married and I couldn’t even walk her down the isle. I asked Pastor Tom for help and he failed me, failed God. Now I feel like Lucifer an outcast. Think twice before attending a church where the Pastor virtually kidnapped my daughter, assisted in having me alienated from her life and killing God for me forever. HAPPY FSTHERS DAY AND TO MY DAUGHTER HAPPY BIRTHDAY
