I have been on a week long fast that was going to last until sunday. but it was my moms birthday today and she forced me to eat, i tried say no but i didn't Argue with her because i would have been dishonoring her. So i ate, now my question is is this God;'s way of telling me that i dont need to fast any more, did that break my fast and make it not matter, or should i just continue with it.

I'd say best to start over another time, (with ample space between), and try to check if anything lies ahead that would likely disrupt time frame.

you should definitely start again if you feel you have the physical strength to complete the task. I believe you should give it some time before you start over.

In this case, i would suggest that you follow the lead of the Holy Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is putting a strong urge upon your heart to continue with your fasting, then you have to go on with it.

did your mom know you were fasting? as was said before i would go by the lead of the holy spirit. If you were trying to honor your mother, then I am sure God was honored by that choice. The fast is more about the journey and hearing from God then anything. Did you hear what you wanted to hear. Did you get answers you were looking for?

Also if your are going to be fasting there are a lot of health concerns, I don't say that to keep your from fasting, fasting is a practice far to often forgotten and ignored by the modern church, but you need to know what your body is able to handle and how your body works. For some people fasting is very bad idea considering their current state of health, for some it can be very healthy thing to pursue considering the circumstances, but not eating can bring certain side effects you need to keep a watch on
