Thanks to those who have been praying for me about my situation with my mom. But things really have not been getting better. I turned 17 last month and I think I've made a desision... I don't want anything to do with her anymore. I hate her. I really don't want to, but I do. All she does is hurt me more and more and pull's me down emotionally. And I am an incredibly horrible person around her and I can't stand it that I act like that. But is it the right choice to make? Is it right that I just walk away? I don't want to, but I don't know what else I can do... things are just not getting better and she just keeps ripping my heart to pieces all the time.

Liz

Awww honey...:hug:
If you really can't see the situation getting any better, perhaps you should take a break from seeing her. I can see how down it makes you feel.
I'll be praying for you. I can't really give advice cos I can't imagine what you're going through.
God bless ya!

Lizzi, I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. I'm not sure what the right answer is here. I am sure however that you don't hate your Mother, It's the things she does and says to you that you hate. I can see that you love you her, and all you want is that love in return. I pray that she'll somehow show this to you.

I will be keeping you in my prayers :pray:

From what I've read about this case, I think cutting off contact, at least for now, would probably be a good thing. What disturbs me, though, is that you say you hate her. I don't believe God wants us to hate people. He's all about love and forgiveness. For you to come to a place where you CAN forgive her, and not hate her any longer, you might have to remove yourself from the situation, and pray about it without having to deal with your mother on a daily basis. Do you have somewhere else to stay?

Are you part of a local church, or youth group? yes I am
What about your dad? Is he in the picture at all? - yes, sorta. I don't see him often, like once every 3 months or so.
Is going to stay with him an option? nope, he lives 3 hours away
What about extended family...aunts, cousins, etc.? I live with my grandparents so being away from my mom isn't a problem. It's being around her that kills me and what I can do.

Lizzi, it certainly sounds like a difficult relationship. I'm sad to hear the situation is actually worsening. You're such a young person. A lot can happen over time. So if you can, consider keeping the door open for your mom to enter your life. I will pray with you for things to improve. It may not happen anytime soon or ever. At least you would know you did your best. That's all we can ever do.

And since I only started coming to the site recently, I would like to wish you a belated happy birthday.
:angel:

Still praying for you Lizzi. If you can continue to live with your Grandparents, then it's probably your best option. keep in mind that God can change people for the better, so don't write off your Mom completely. Sometimes people are so unhappy with themselves that they just try and make every one around them just as unhappy as they are. I don't think they do this intentionaly, they just don't know what else to do. I wish I had some easy answers for you, but i don't. All I can do is pray, and pray I will do.

Lizzi, no matter what your mother did to you, you cannot hate her. It’s against the will of God and by hating her or anyone else it will make you miserable.

Start to forgive your mother, go into your prayer room where you are alone and pray for your mother. Everything that comes to your mind that is hurting you ask God to help you to forgive. You can cry your heart out in front of God and tears have healing inside of them.

I know we are not under the law but it’s written on our hearts now and God do want us to honor our parents, no matter what they do.

Something very bad happened in my family years ago and my one brother stood up against my father with hate and 5 years later he died. I could not understand and begged God to let me know why my brother died on the age of 23 years. God answered me about 15 years later and gave me these scriptures. Please take this serious.

We cannot live just the way we want or feel like, we have to live by every word coming from God.

Exodus 20:12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Matthew 15:4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

Matthew 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Mark 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

Mark 10:19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

Luke 18:20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

I know altya. I know that fully well and that's one of the things I struggle with the most. I don't want to hate her, yet I do. I try to even just like her, but it's so difficult and i still feel hatred for her.
