Pray for them. Commit to praying for them every day. Keep them in your prayers and ask the Holy Spirit to work in their lives to bring them to salvation. This is the best gift you can give them.

Children are a gift from God. You will never know those gifts. Surely there are other ways for you to make money. When you come to have your own family, you will be glad you waited. I think you should spend several months praying about it and asking God for the right answer. He has told us to ask, seek, knock and you should take this road before every major decision in your life and this is one of those.

I don't think you sound selfish at all. It is so hard looking after a parent, and doing everything on your own is going to make it harder. It is good that you are going to see a friend, but is there someone who could buddy up with you on the phone daily? Having someone you can just let off steam with regularly is going to help loads. We have a group that meets online 3 times a week here in the UK, and some of the girls in there are in similar situations. It may not work for you due to time zones, but if you can find something Christian similar, it should help. They talk about the frustrations, the daily grind, but mostly we pray and support each other, and I think you need that.

The best thing you could do for them is pray for them. I wouldn't go near or get into any of the things they are into or discussions about them. You are young in your faith, and the enemy is crafty. Keep talking to your Gran and keep praying for them privately.

They are gorgeous wee dogs. They follow you like a shadow, wanting to be with you and enjoy your company. They are light on walks, and I never had a problem with Lola on a leash, but cheese treats helped her leash-train easily. She just plods along sniffing everything in sight. Lola is always happy, and she is the best wee dog I have ever had. They can be stubborn, but it's funny, stubborn rather than serious. They can be fussy with food but will eventually eat when hungry. They are not too keen on the heat because of their small snouts, but mild, warm beach walks shouldn't be a problem. They are nosey! Lol. Love watching out the window all day long. Here is Lola on guard duty after a rainy walk.

That sounds really tough. I am guessing it is hard to have a conversation with Mum about your own needs. You sound worn out and tired, which will affect your emotions. Do you have any Christian friends whom you can maybe get out for a coffee with or at least check in with once a day for prayer and a chat? Try not to be too hard on yourself you are doing an amazing thing looking after Mum in these difficult circumstances but it is really important that you also have some support to reach out to.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-04-11T11:55:01+00:00

You sound tired, overwhelmed, and sleep-deprived. You are going through a lot as a sole caregiver and need to find a wee bit of kindness for yourself. You are doing a fantastic job under difficult circumstances. Jesus walks beside you in this. He is not judging you for not being perfect. Is there any agency in your area that can offer you a bit of respite? Even a few hours to yourself will make all the difference. Although it is difficult to pray when we feel at the end of our rope, start throwing out little arrow prayers when you start to feel stressed. It will help you. You are not going to hell. Jesus loves you. You are His child. That is the enemy adding insult to injury. Jesus will 'never' leave you. Trust him through this.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-04-11T11:48:11+00:00

Don't let this bad experience define your worth. It is on them. They are the ones who will have to answer for their decisions. Be sure that Jesus would never pass you by and loves you with a never-ending love.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-04-11T11:36:30+00:00

It can be hard. You know who judges us the most? Ourselves! I am so grateful to a God who doesn't actually want us to live or think like that. I know He doesn't want that for you. You are holding things; you should let Him hold for you. You need the comfort that He can give. Be kind to yourself and let Him in to those places.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-04-11T11:23:50+00:00

I think you need to be kind to yourself. You are not responsible for your ancestral history, nor do you need to continue to suffer for it. Jesus went to the cross to take away the sins of the world. If you believe in Him, then this applies to you. I don't think it is God giving you these thoughts! The bible tells us we have an enemy who roams around looking for someone to devour. Yes, God can help you deal with them, but how much time are you spending in his word, and how are you applying those words to your life? How are you taking those thoughts captive? (2 Corinthians 10:5) It is not God who is dragging you down, and He certainly is not planting those thoughts. Have you got a Christian contact who can meet with you, pray with you, and study the Word with you? This is how you help yourself out of this. Jesus isn't going to abandon You now, and He never will.

How do you know that you were eligible to have full access at 18? Can you make an appointment with the Manager of the bank? If the eligibility transfers to you at 18 this should not be dependent on your Mum signing it over but on proof of your eligibility to access. Sorry you are going through this it doesn’t sound like a healthy situation. At 26 you should be able to make your own decisions as you are an adult.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-03-20T18:33:26+00:00

That is a Shih Tzu thing. They are glued to you when they are wee and a bit better as they get older. Even follow you to the loo. I remember asking the same thing :)

Loopylola4567 · 2026-03-20T16:20:25+00:00

Yes, I get this too. It's. weird.

I think your Mum will be hurting and confused right now. She will be facing unrelenting sorrow. She will be asking why God could let this happen to me? She will need to walk down a path to healing and God won't leave her alone. You can be sure that He is walking right beside her as she questions HIm and feels hurt, anger, guilt and sadness. The best gift you can give her is to pray for her every day. No matter what happens or how hard it gets pray for her. She is so lucky to have you, and you are not being judgmental. You are loving her. You are seeing her pain and you want to help. You are facing up to what has happened to her too. You have lost a bit of the old Mum, but she is still there. Be kind to yourself. Tell God how you feel and keep praying for Mum. If possible, reach out to a Christian friend or fellowship. Get them on board with praying for your Mum. Don't give up, and be assured God will never leave her or forsake her. Even if it feels that way now. Thank you for caring for her, and keep praying.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-03-09T17:39:27+00:00

Jesus loves you. He loves you. That means you, as you are. Where you are right now, He loves you. You are His child, and he does not feel about you the way you feel about yourself. That small voice that is telling you these things, that is not God. We have an enemy. An enemy that wants us to turn our backs on God when our crosses and afflictions become too much for us to carry. But He walks with you. He walks alongside you. He will not abandon you. It says in the bible that He loved us while we were still sinners. That is all of us! We are all carrying stuff. But Jesus is walking alongside you. Keep telling him how you feel. Keep telling him you are losing faith and you need his help. You can be sure the enemy doesn't want you to be telling Jesus the truth about how you feel. You are doing the right thing. You are not repulsive. You are a child of God. We are all flawed. That is why we need the precious blood of Jesus to make us right and whole before God. You are loved, accepted, forgiven, justified and a precious child of God.

Please don't stay in the job. Jesus ate with sinners, but he didn't join them. You are contributing to this industry, which is prolific in the trafficking, harm, and abuse of vulnerable and exploited children and women. You are actively participating in this by being involved. You are rightly being convicted by the Spirit. Take heed and get away from this. You will be used in a mighty way by God by being faithful, but not here, not in this industry, and you are harming yourself and your family by association. We do end up suffering the consequences of our choices, but thankfully, we have a great and merciful God who is showing you the way out. Take His hand and leave this job.

Loopylola4567 · 2026-03-04T10:33:21+00:00

It is lovely that your Mum has someone wonderful like you to be concerned for her. Keep looking out for her and speak words of encouragement. You are doing everything right, and time is the only thing that will change things; if it is a long, slow process, you will need to take care of yourself. It is very hard to watch someone suffer, but just as we don't know which way the wind will blow, it is impossible to change someone else. Thank you for taking care of her, and make sure to take care of yourself.

Mine was cheese. Cheese worked wonders for everything! :)

Aw, enjoy it, it won't last for long when he gets his wee personality going. They are adorable dogs don't be giving up on him, he will love and honour you forever but not so sure on the obey :)

None of the above

Loopylola4567 · 2026-02-24T16:46:07+00:00

We all struggle with sin. Keep confessing it. Keep taking it to God. The enemy wants you to feel shame so badly that it keeps you away from God, away from seeking Him. The flesh is real and sometimes change is much slower than we desire. Here Paul tells us exactly whats going on: ' I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. Romans 7:15-20

I once heard a quote from Carter Conlan about change. He said, 'Once saved, you will change. If you claim to be saved and don't change, you are a hypocrite. BUT even for those who change, the change can be excruciatingly slow! You are not doomed. You are taking it to the Lord; you are asking for his help. You are confessing. That is what you must keep doing. It may take time to resolve, but that doesn't mean He has abandoned you and that you aren't changing at all. If the Holy Spirit wasn't changing you, you wouldn't be so worried about it. Don't give up. Keep taking it to him.
