• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

my mother had quite the temper and would throw brushes at us. Many slammed into the wall and broke but a few made their target. She was a very angry person for the longest time but somewhere all long the way she stopped. I have never done that nor have i ever hit my children. i rarely raise my voice at them and when i do it isnt even close to yelling.

My mom used to cane me, and my siblings too... It's pretty common at that time, among Asian parents. My mom has a huge issue with anger but she would never admit it. She's also hurt inside but she won't change. She just thinks it's all MY problem...

Addy, sometimes we just have to insulate ourselves from the situation but do continue to pray for her that her hurts be brought to the surface so that she may deal with them. It is common to put our faults and hurts on everyone else because when we do this we do not have to take responsibility for our actions or have to deal with the deep seeded problems. God likes to shimne a light on those things and it is a painful process

lol I love your honesty addy. it is easier at times to stay mad at someone and not pray. But prayer is a powerful effective tool. it can move mountains. and even at times when we cant see the results, they are still affective and signs show years later :^)
thanks for the hugs
