Issues with father...

[saved4salvation07]

I've been having some very difficult times with my dad, lately. For the past many years, there has been nothing but complete conflict with him. B***hin' and griping, bickerin', hollering and yelling at each other, screaming and bellerin'. And in one instance, there has even been an arrest made by the Roanoke City Police Department in November A.D. Two Thousand and Thirteen.
Just recently, me and my ma had our hopes up that my mom, my dad and I were moving from our current place of residence, to another residence to escape the drama in the neighborhood, and when I came home from being away for a few days, I found out that my dad had changed his mind, and had said no.
Since the last arrest, there have been nearly 5 more arrests involving the Roanoke City Police, and it's been quite like Hell at home. Stress, stress, and more stress.
My parents are my legal guardians, and in my state, the Commonwealth of Virginia, it's not very easy to escape the curse of guardianship.
What must I do?

You list as Pentecostal. Do you currently have a good church that might devote themselves to praying for you and your situation?

Just praying isn't what this person needs. Specific direct help is needed. Talk to someone you trust, get in contact with anyone who might be able to get you out of this bad situation.

CD, this is a Christian forum, which means many of us post Christian advice here. And the first thing on a Christian's mind is to bring God's help and assistance to bear on any situation. With His direction, a person can find the right help, help that will lead them to the right solutions, and cause their life to change for the better (not just "change").

I guess I worded that wrong. What I meant is that saying Christian advice is to "just pray", that can't always just get the job done on its own. We as Christians are supposed to help one another in physical ways as well, not just prayer. What I was saying was that you shouldn't just pray and expect everything to suddenly improve without doing anything else.

I fully agree with that part.

This. If your parents seem unfit to take care of you then you should try to request to be with next of kin.

No harm in praying for your situation, either. It will give you peace of mind and clearer direction in such times of stress.

A small clean up was done. We all have OOPS moments.

Does your dad have any mental disabilities or illnesses that could be making him act this way?
