I’ll try to keep as short as possible…… but my daughter 16 is in a toxic relationship and I don’t know how else to pray that God removes him from her life. If I prohibit it, it will only drive her further away from me and straight to him. She doesn’t see it as toxic but as much as I have prayed about it, I can’t see it any other way. I know he is very young and can change. But right now his attitudes and behaviors don’t align with Gods word. He treats her poorly, is selfish and narcissistic, disrespects us as her parents and questions our rules making her only rebel against us. He doesn’t do anything to better his life (he doesn’t do well in school and is failing and doesn’t want to get a job even though his own mother is struggling financially). I am struggling with this because I know we are all children of God but I have given him so many opportunities to redeem himself since my daughter clearly
Continues to forgive his behavior and there is absolutely no change. Although I don’t understand why, it appears that my daughter loves him very much. But it is at the expense of thinking that she needs to stick by him and forgive his ways no matter what. It pains me to think she may waste years of her life with him going no where and not being in the loving relationship that I know God wants for her. But she will not hear any of it and only defends him. My advise usually ends up in arguments between us, driving us farther apart. How else should I be praying for this? I have been praying to God that he directs her life according to his will and his plans for her. But I am also confused as to how much I should just hand over to God and at what point I should take more action as she is still a minor. This has already damaged our relationship quite a bit and I am just treading lightly and asking God for guidance.
