thank you for that ! i feel everything you wrote and will apply all excellent advice provided. gossips just dont know how to approach me..thats interesting. in fact im going to really consider that the case because all the people that cut me down are the ones not doing much and arnt all that...

I feel like the general direction, is to pray on this to forgive in order to let myself go from the situations..and not go back into it. if they repent and can meet me where i am in the boundaries i have, then we can move forward in a relationship. however, i cant go back wards with all the...

right now my future wife is taking everything in stride while holding her peace; she doesnt bad mouth her or call names. she does get upset when she slanders me or does something obviously out of line that gets to me - like going to talk to my mom of all people to complain about things im not...

reading the responses with true biblical understanding has given me some real peace. thank you all. in joseph's story it wasnt him returning to the same old mess and same old relationships..it was him only returning after he witnessed repentence. it's very similar to the prodigal son and Jesus...

my walk is where im getting my guilt from. theres alot of scriptures and examples of jesus turning the other cheek and expecting us to do the same. also, the story of the kid who was sold into slavery by his brothers only to be king later on...and when he found his brothers he still hugged on...

I dont know where else to put this because the forums used to have a divorced section But Awhile back I caught my Ex wife cheating. I told her we could go to counseling to work it out but she ran off with another guy assuming the grass would be greener. The divorce was pretty nasty also, which...

Im at a cross roads with what I should do with the gallery of family members that are very toxic. 1) my mom neglected me as a kid. beat me up, let her boyfriends beat me up , kicked me out repeatedly until i left for the military. the verbal abuse was an all time high from her to me, but not my...

thank you all -to make this my own statement it would be to release the anger with out forgetting the past. letting go of trying to make them understand, but at the same time protecting myself from this ever happening again. I actually had to tell them that I am not Jesus and I don't owe...

Ill make this as short as possible (I've made threads similar to this before) Growing up I was neglected, abused physically and mentally by my mom, then by extension who ever she was dating. She settling on a guy with a criminal history, so when he was around him hitting me was 'what guys...

the cycle that im going through is that I keep my distance and then my mom appears on my door step claiming God tells her to apologize. I let my guard down. then she'll do something crazy shortly after like hang out with my ex wife slandering me and my new gf over dinner - gossip and...

exactly! as soon as I stood up for myself I was made out to be the villian and told im wrong to even speak to my mom with contempt! the nerve! I hardly even bring my kids around because Iwant to shield them from any behavior that would undermine how raise them and dont want the kids thinking...

the mental game being played now is that its my problem to overcome and "rise above" and of course they are repeating over and over to move on since its the past. my stance is they are the same people abusing me today that they were when I was smaller...only now tthey undermine my values and...

Question: how do you deal with family that you don't get along with? I have a mom who neglected me growing up (if I wasn't left alone while she was at the club/bar I was with some family member or she just slept all day), let men beat me, and generally just put her needs and wants above the...

Gods wrath is against evil there is no condemnation in Christ

that was an excellent post. personally I have to expect to grow out of a few things but for now im beingbetter off doing what ive been doing and keeping to my self not being disrespectful and holf my peace

had this been a normal cut and dry divorce this would have been understandable. whats glaring to me is , i JUST got out of court with her a few weeks ago because she was keeping the kids from me- for YEARS. she stole the furniture out of the house when she left, slandered me to the schools and...

i hate to bump this old thread, but i need some advice. I had a death in the family recently. the person that died was very close to me and knew my ex. so my mom texts me asking if i mind if my ex show up to the funeral. i said i didnt care because it's about paying respects not me. day of the...

Amazing - Ill see if i can download this right onto their kindle!

I will look into that tomorrow. they were so excited to be away from her alittle bit more that the first week or so they just looked so peaceful. but its clear its not over and it'll only get worse. I've gone to tell them that their mom is just angry because she's had long days at work or...

this post is hitting close to home - i had to sit back and re read this as well as other posts to consider the possibility that maybe she is regretting her decision and choices that got her in the position shes in. Maybe she is finally feeling the weight of her choices; because in the beginning...
