Worried for the first time

I am currently having problems with my parents. I am worried that they are going to separate when they do love each other. I can see that. the problem is that my mother is a worrywart and cannot give anything up to God. She is always preaching to her children but not practicing it herself and i feel it may be leading my siblings astray since they are not getting a good example. She cannot sleep at night anymore and i can often hear her either crying, fighting, or blaming my father. I know he's not perfect either and has some skeletons in his closet, but my mother is not loosening her grip on anyone. She recently talked about giving it up to God but made it sound as though it is my father's fault. My problem is that i am having a hard time keeping my nose outta it. I just want to slap some sense into her and tell her that if she wants to give it up to God...then DO it already. I feel like im going to burst and this is the first time in years that i have worried this much.

To the point, please pray for my mother and my father also, and pray for me to use the right words and to not be hostile and to stop worrying about my parents and that i may give them up to God also.

I will be praying for you...:)

wow, so there's always a first time. God's in control, I'll not only pray for you and for your parents, but also for your siblings as you are worried they'll be led astray...which is REALLY not good. MAybe your mom is in some depression? It's common for people to seem like they're "ranting" when really they're ready for an emotional breakdown...ever thought of talking to her about this?
I'll be praying.

I will be praying as well... I had a friend who had the same problem... unfortunately her parents did divorce. But that doesn't mean yours will!
The right words are important and unfortunately the hardest... Good luck and God bless.

Your mother sounds like she might need some counselling. There might be more here that just worrying. Praying for your situation.

my older sister and i have talked about how both parents need to go to marriage counselling and perhaps something more for my mother. the problem is if i try to tell her what she needs to do i get told off because she's the parent and knows best. I know she's become depressed again but as the child (which i am 18) i have no say here. I am going to try though
