<<Leave him and move out. Don't divorce him though, let him know there's still a chance to fix things. Make him come to you guys. He has to want to apologize.>>

he's never apologized for anything...even back when he had said something about me and my mom being christians...he didn't even apologize for that...my mom's even tried not talking to him for days...and so have i...he doesn't care...if we left him he would get along fine without us...he basically keeps to himself anyway...so....bleh...

[Doubleshadow]

I'll pray for you and your family. It may take the shock of losing you and your mother for him to straighten up. My uncle left my aunt and two cousins for another woman, only to have her leave him for the guy in the next trailer over after a few years. He went back to my aunt (realizing now from experience just how much he must have hurt her), and they got remarried and he has been true to his vows ever since. He has the total respect and trust of my family now. Obviously the situation isn't a mirror image of yours and it would be wrong for me to generalize your pain, so I tell you this so that maybe you can draw hope from it.

<<Guys, remember that this is a prayer thread. No fighting, arguing, and off-topic ranting (referring to a few posts ago in this thread). I'm sure c.t.,girl doesn't want these debates going on in a very serious thread with a very serious prayer request that she posted. She's requesting prayer from her brothers and sisters in Christ, and that's what we need to do: pray for her and her family right now.

And again, I am praying, Chris, and please keep us posted on how things are going.>>

i don't really care if they do what they did...it started to make me think of what's right and wrong anyway...but...i fear the mods wouldn't like it...>.>;;(don't gimme the hose, steve!)

[Mithrandir]

*stands around with a hose*

*looks at shatterheart*

I'm supposed to do what with this?


(You sounded like you could use a little humor ).

[Stephen]

She realises that her friends love her, or she gets the hose again. And Kevin, be sure to crimp it a bit to build up a nice hoo-ha blast before showing her the Admin hose power.

i know, at least somewhat what you're going through. my mother is emotionally abusive, and has been for years. she has yelling, almost delusional fits and takes it out on mostly me, but sometimes my sister is included. there are stretches of time that i can't remember not being called stupid or fat or in general worthless. nothing i did was good enough, if i didn't get all A's in school, i was called stupid, i was called fat and lazy for being non-athletic, i was called stupid and thoughtless for being absent minded, i was called fat for not being skinny.

but thanks to God and the people He's placed in my life, i'm recovering emotionally, and am working my way through forgiving her. sure, she still opens up the old wounds if i'm at home for more than a few days in a row, but now, i don't accept what she's saying as true. i am also working a job this summer that i will be living in employee dorms 5 days a week for, as abuse prevention.

but she knows i'm a Christian (she's gotten on me about 'wasting time' doing devotions before) and is starting to ask me for spiritual advice. and if she could come to the Lord, that would be the best thing i could ask for. i hate what she has done and will do to me more than almost anything, but i don't hate her, at least i'm trying my absolute very hardest not to. i want to love her like Jesus wants me to, and that's what i'm going for, even if she makes it insanely hard. and even though part of me screams for revenge, i'm not going to take it, because as Christians, we are called to let God take care of it, and i have to try my hardest to let Him.

i'm not going to tell you to do what i did. what worked for me isn't guaranteed to work for you. what you do need to do is find the way that God has for you to deal with it.

and i will be praying for you, and your family.

and because you sound like you need some:

and if you ever need to talk, feel free to PM me, or email me, or talk to me via MSN messenger or AIM, my info's in my profile.

[Anna Mae]

Thank you for the update. We will be praying!

[kryptech]

Glad to hear things are looking up a little concerning your family and grades! I hope both keep improving. I'll still remember you and your family (including your grandmother) in prayer, and that you'll get well soon.

[Silvanis]

Good! I'm glad you're making progress. I'll continue to pray for you and your family.

[Silvanis]

May I suggest family therapy? I was having problems, and I went to therapy. To sum it up, it changed my life. I'm not sure your dad will agree to it, but at least your mom and you will be able to get over the hard times with your dad and perhaps gain strength for witnessing to him.

God bless

[soul alive]

good to hear things are going a little better. will continue to pray. hope you get better soon as well.

i know how tough it can be to deal with losing grandparents, especially with not knowing if they are saved or not. both of my grandmothers died before i was born, and both of my grandfathers have since died, and i have no idea if any of them were saved or not, guess i'll see in a few decades. i'll pray that things will work out with your grandmother.

[Yumie]

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. I went through a similar experience recently with my gradfather. We were unsure of his salvation for a long time, but a lot of things that happened towards the end of his life really made us think he accepted Jesus. All we could do was pray for him and take every opportunity to witness to him that was available to us. I will pray that this sickness she is experiencing will cause her to seek God.
And I'll keep praying for the rest of the situations your are going through too. Just remember that while it seems impossible sometimes, God promised he would never tempt us beyond what we can bear. Just cling to him during these hard times and he will take care of you.

[CephasWhite]

Hey Crissy.

These are tough times now, and I'm glad you and your father have settled things between you two. Just remember to keep praying that your father will find his way to the light and see the truth about our Lord. You are a strong girl, and possibly, deep down inside, your father is very proud of you, and he loves you very much.

Keep striving to do your best, and always look to the positive things. Always pray, always.

God loves you Chrissy and your mother and father.

I am definitely praying for you, child of God, and I am definitely praying for your family, including your grandmother, that she will see God as well before she passes on.

Remember Chrissy, you are loved by all of us and the One Person who loves you the most.

Love you
CephasVII

I'll be praying for ya too. A month and a year ago we went through the exact samething with my grandfather (from my dad's side check that out isn't that weird 0.o lol) It's gonna be tough for you guys if she dies. Hopefully not to tough. My dad has mostly gotten over it, I don't know about my grandma. Look what ever happens God knows what's best. Check this, the winter before he died. The last day that you can tell anything that he was aware of everything, God used my mom to bring him to the Lord. On the last day, the last day. Did you get that? Listen God will take of you guys. Just listen to him and be there for her every waking moment. and Listen for God's voice just Incase he asks YOU to bring your grandman to Christ you'll never know that just might happen.

About your family it's good that you guys are getting better. Keep that bond strong because besides your relationship with Christ there is none stronger.

I will pray for your sickness and your lust. I'm battling with that too so don't worry.

[c.t.,girl]

yeah...my dad and i don't always see things eye to eye...and in our house there hasn't been much talk of God...only that between me and my mom...my dad doesn't like to talk about Him..so...since we don't talk about God...there has been peace...but...i'm still not happy with the way things are...he still says stupid things every now and then...but...i'm trying to make the best of this...

anyway...the part about lust...well...i think that's ended...since a few nights ago...i don't plan to ever do anything that stupid again...but...still keep that in prayer

...and yeah...my health...well...it's not to good...it's like...i'm getting sicker and sicker each day i'm alive...*sigh*
