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.
I don't get it.

Update : It's been more than a month now that I've moved in my parent's house. I've learned SO much about the mechanisms of psychological manipulation and how to stay grounded in God.
I've learned that I'm not my parents and that they're not me, that I'm 25 and they cannot force me to make the choices they want me to make.
God's showing me a road that seems to be crazy to follow, but because He shows me the way, even my sick parents cannot stand in His way.
It's been incredibly difficult, yes, but now it feels easier each day. I feel like I'm on the end of my path of healing. I think that were the storm began the storm shall end, and maybe that's why I had to go back living with them.
Am I still looking forward to move out as soon as possible ? yes, yes, yes ! But for now, I've got to end my healing journey, I've got to keep trusting on God's promises and to be fully able to stand still in front of evil !
I feel like I've got to admit that maybe I'll never be moving out, and maybe I'll be in a new season very fast, I cannot know. To embrace uncertainty is not very easy, but that's were I'm able to fully keep my eyes on the Lord.
I still doubt, I still fear sometimes, but I'm so thankful I gave my life to God !

Keep trusting!
and prayerfully make God's Word your daily guide - Psalm 119.105 - and this can also speak to your parents!

faroukfarouk, thank you so much
I think that God is so loving and powerful and that He wants me to see that by going through my actual trial ! So that I can feel His grace and protection ! One word : Amazing !
Sometimes it appears so mysterious to me that God chose a life and path and passion for me ! My mind just cannot understand that !

I am sorry that you moved back into your parents’ house. Especially since you’re an adult. You’re not obligated by anyone, including God, to go anywhere where you feel unsafe. Abuse is never ok, and saying God can bring about something good from something like abuse only minimizes the pain the victim of abuse feels and the seriousness of the issue.
Emotional and verbal abuse, manipulation, etc can leave as much of a lasting impact as physical abuse.
