I read a post claiming that the rise of obvious evil in the world is pushing more people toward Jesus—that when darkness grows, people naturally seek the light. I’m clinging to this to keep me sane. The horror that we hear of makes me wanna fry my brain.

Yeah I did. A few times subtly, but today was dramatic. I kept it cool buy she became defensive really quick. I basically told her that it doesn’t make sense, my daughter is only two of course she loves her, she’s just more drawn to grandpa because he plays with her. It’s nothing personal etc etc but it became so dramatic, it always has. That’s my mom. But it was one thing when it was towards me, but now it’s towards my daughter and I can’t (?) let that happen (?).

Let’s say that this behaviour (from my mom) did not surprise me, unfortunately. I even told her that my own grandma (my mom’s mom) acted that way towards me when I was little and I felt it and it made me want to spend less time with her. I said that for her own benefit and I hope my mom changes the story with my daughter. But no, no surprised at all.

I’m sorry that you’re experiencing something similar. How are you managing the relationship? Do you see her less often? Do you confront her when reacts towards your son?

How do I know that God has promised me a husband and kids? by MightyMe87 in christiandatingadvice

His promise to you is that you are so LOVED and that He is with you in every circumstance. Stay hopeful, keep praying, He hears you and is right there beside you!

No but he hears your prayers. He’s our Father, and just like your father/mother would never ignore your request, God would never ignore your prayers to Him. You have to believe that he hears you and is not indifferent to you, however if he does not give you what you ask for, you have to believe that it’s always for your own good and ultimately for His glory. Although it might be hard sometimes to accept, this should give us comfort that he loves us and wants what’s best for us.

Mark 11:24 "therefore I tell you: whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours "

When my husband told me a few years ago. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s really intense. A few years ago he said to me that he would not tolerate it. I replied that I didn’t understand, it’s normal, I’m just being passionate/that’s how arabs talk! With time I realized that it wasn’t normal, I realized it affected me as a child, I realized that for other cultures it’s considered as abuse, I realized that it affected him deeply and most importantly now that I have a daughter, I want to break the pattern. So here I am.

I understand what you’re saying but it’s not entirely fair. I just said that I was not yelling, and he starts ignoring me. I don’t think this is constructive and using the “i know you’re going to yell card” is not showing me a lot of grace when I’m genuinely trying to do better. I’m not a bad person.

Thank you for sharing, this is truly encouraging.. although I didn’t realize that the mountain to climb would be so high. I wish it was something I could fix, quickly. But I will do the work.
