I still don't understand what is God doing?! Does He want me to not get along with my mom anymore? Hating my own life?!

Prayers for you.

That's not a question I can answer exactly. I don't think God wants you to not get along with your mother and not to hate your life (depending what you mean). But sometimes we have to insist on Truth and it costs us being able to get along with someone. On the other hand, sometimes we need to accept difficult situations in humility and bear them with thankfulness. And so on. I'm afraid I don't know the answer for you. There can be different answers. I wish you had someone wise enough there with you to help you sort it out. There are no priests anywhere nearby that you can get to even for one time to talk? Or maybe you need to email someone in detail so they can help you? It's hard to go through such things alone and not know the right thing to do. You have my prayers. But I really hope you find a way to seek some wisdom. I wish I could help more.

I hope he can help you. Every time I was in a difficult situation as far as faith and relationships, I talked with my priest. He was always very helpful. Different people have different gifts though. If your priest can't help very much, you can seek another. But in general I've found priests to agree on a lot of these things and have good answers.

Prayers. I know you're in a hard spot.

My mom and I had a big discussion and I told her that I didn't want to be living with her, that I wish I would be back in the US and something else. She totally ignored my emotional and mental issues and practically called me and my siblings ungrateful children.

I am sometimes indifferent about my life.

My mom, feeling that the Christian faith she had mostly held throughout her life had failed her, and not produced the results for her and her family that she had hoped for, has turned to the Ahmadi sect of Islam. It has turned the main completely open relationship in my life, something I have with almost no one, into one of small talk.
My friends, the few I've managed to make over here in Russia, mostly live in Moscow and are too busy, we don't see each other much any more. My wife doesn't share my views; we even see Orthodoxy differently. My adult kids don't make much effort to contact me; my younger kids are busy with their own lives. So if you feel alone, you're not the only one. There are a lot of us out here.
Prayers for you, David!

Pray for the Episcopate who is under such great pressure right now, pray for their personal holiness and commitment to Orthodoxy, that we might remain unified and free of scandal - being a light on a hill for those lost in the world.

Lord have mercy - and glory to God!

From my limited experience, it's a good time to be asking for prayers!

Please pray for us (my daughter, my wife). Something of great magnitude has happened, I do not understand it all and I cannot speak about it right now.

Thank the Lord and pray for his continued mercies. His will be done.
