My mom makes me so mad, and I lose my temper so easily. Then I feel absolutely horrible, like I am a failure. It's like she just doesn't understand me or my schedule because I work 3rd shift. She thinks that 3 hours of sleep is enough for me to be able to unload semi trucks and stock shelves and night, plus workout everyday. I'm trying really hard, but can't deal with her... I end up going in my car and yelling and crying and swearing so much, not very christian like, I know this. I don't know how to communicate with her. I've tried but nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss for what to do. I'm 22 and pray that God will take me home or just get her out of my life completely. Is it bad that I feel ready to leave, I just hate her so much.

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 know where you are coming from. My mother and I used to get in horrendous fights when I was younger, and it made me so depressed. You're doing the right thing by praying to God, but maybe instead of praying to God for what you want to happen (to have her out of your life), pray to God for Him to give you strength to deal with the current situation and allow yourself to submit to his will, because his will may be different from your ideal will (getting you mother out of your life). Trust that whatever happens, God is with you and that he is looking out for your best interests. Try not to get too upset if things don't turn out how you like them; just remember and have faith that whatever is happening (so long as you trust God) is His work, whether it be what you desire or something completely different. The bible promises that in the end your faith will be rewarded.
I hope that helps some
. It's helped me get through difficult situations with both family, friends, and others many times. I'll keep you in my prayers

Moving out to your own place might be a possible way to minimize the conflicts with your mother. But the only way to solve anything is to pray about it and talk it out with her.

moving away to my own place in another city minimizes conflicts with my mother as well.
but no matter what -- love's hard, love's work. some people seem unloveable, make themselves unloveable, but, as mother theresa says, "love them anyway... because in the end it's about you and God. it was never about them anyway."

I don't get along with my mother very well, but not living with her helps tons! If you can afford to get your own apartment or something, I highly recommend it. If you can't afford to do that, start thinking of ways to set yourself on the path of being able to do that some time in the future. Maybe find a friend who would be your roommate or, price several different apartments until you find one you like.
Not only will it give you some breathing room, but it might help you to appreciate the things she has provided for you when you have to start paying bills, etc. Plus it will give you a sense of accomplishment to see how independent you can be.

I am last minute stuff
In luke we have a story (well known at that) of the Prodical Son.. But there's a major part of the story that is often left out. The Prodical son came back to his father, though we never hear of his brother coming back. The story ends where his brother is outside of the house, incased in his throne of bitterness...
Or about the story of the man who had two sons.. He told one to go work in the vineyard and the son said "I will," though never went. The second son said "I will not." But afterwards repented and went... Which son did his father's will?
The point I'm making is, you are not a failure. Yes, the most incapvating sins are those of the psirit and that involve the human spirit. But nonetheless, they too can be romoved if you will try. For by faith men have claimed themselves glory in heaven, and through faith anything can be done.. You need to quit trusting in yourself.. Give your emotions to God and move forward in self-control... You need to learn to practice love; For did not Jesus even have compassion on the multitude, even though when He was going to depart alone with His diciples.. They followed Him?
Running from this will never help. But I'll give you a study. What does the Bible say about resolving a conflict?

Can i just say that you should respond kindly when your mother starts up an argument.rayne said:
One of you has to take your finger off the trigger so it might as well be you. Answer gently when she screams. You'd be surprised.

If any man has hatred to a person he has commited murder in his heart. First I think you need to ask for forgiveness of that unless you really just said it without meaning from your heart. God cant hear our prayers when we have sin in our hearts. Now, the easiest thing to do, is agree with your mother. When you do this be prepared to call 911 because she might have a heart attack. Whatever she says, no matter how dumb you think, just say shes right and obey. It will humble her over time my friend I promise you that.
