my family has a young girl who they call their daugher right before their eyes and they do nothing to support my purpose and dreams in this world

i probably will never be married because everytime i talk to them about it they yell at me and say that it is all my responsibility

they are such miserable, groucy old people, and their attitudes are horrible, and they are lazy

i'm supposed to command them to get up and do something, well when i do they have me arrested and sent to the hospital because i'm "crazy"

GOD could have blessed my life and maybe he stil can, but living here with them, they don't care about me

if they would just see what GOD placed before them, other people see it, but they can't see it

and i am missing out on life and being loved and being ME in this world because of them

I agree with the post above. I can tell you are going through alot and I know it can't be easy what your going through, dealing with parents is tough in situations like this. But in order for healing you have to stop expecting your parents to change, pray for them yes, ask God to bless their lives. But you have to start living your own life, God is working in your life or at least fully wants to you have to start believing he can satisfy all your needs, thats a hard concept i know...BUt God can satisfy all of them, needs no human being can satisfy whether it be a husband or your parents.I also know your struggling with your faith, and its understandable....All I can say is find a good church that has a strong community and they can show you the love of God. I'll be praying for you, and i believe that God is going to do wonders in your life if you let him.

God gave us our parents for a reason --He chose them. I can't say mine are perfect --but that isn't the point. You need to look at how you need to change --that is the only one you have control of. If you change --your whole outlook and reaction will be different. The key is --You can't do anything to change --but God can. Right now add to your prayer list --God search my heart change me --after any emotional reaction you feel. I guarantee you -- if you trust God -- He will make the change. That will be best for everyone.

Are you on your medication right now and are you taking it the way you are supposed to? Please give all of these confused feelings and problems to God, he will help you to make the best choices. And TAKE YOUR MEDICINE! I am still praying for you - every day, even though you do not listen to any of the help I try to give you. Hopefully, you listen to God's advice.

MEDICATION DOES HELP US COPE BECAUSE OF THE STRESS AND PAIN OF LIFE THAT WE GET OURSELVES INTO WITHOUT CONSULTING WHAT THE LORD HAS FOR US, BUT IT IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO EVERYTHING

YOU KNOW HOW MANY OTHERS GOD HAS BLESSED WITH WISDOM, FAITH, LOVE, CARING ON HERE, YOU ARE ONLY ONE, AND FROM WHAT I SEE ON HERE YOU HAVE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AND HAVE HAD THOUGHTS OF SUICIDE

SO IT IS OBVIOUS THAT LIFE IS NOT PERFECT FOR YOU

I HAVE LIVED A WHOLE LIFE THAT MAYBE GOD COULD ACKNOWLEDGE AND USE THAT TO DIRECT MY FUTURE

I can tell you are angry, angry at your family, angry at God. There is no problem being angry with God, let him know how you feel. We were not put here on earth to live without struggles.
God has GREAT plans for your life, give it all to him and trust that he will be good to you.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29: 11- 13

Proverb 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths

Matthew 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of GOD and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.

Psalm 37:4,7 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass ... Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.

How do you think I know so much about what is going on with you? How do you think I know and understand that you are manic and not taking your medication correctly? I can empathize with you because I have been depressed and anxious and in fear all the time. That is how I understand how to help you. I am still praying for you every day. But you need to pray as well.

Oh my gosh, this post made me tear! I'm actually.. living in that same environment! My real dad is SUCH a cruel human being.. whenever I say or do something for God he says I'm childish and ridiculous.. whenever I try to tell him what he is doing to me and my mother he calls the cops on me! It kills me because he deserves a second chance.. but it kills me because I have been controlled by his crazy mind and actions all my life.. and from praying for so long and yet God never answered me I though God hated me.. But it took me 3 years to realize He didnt hate me.. I just wasnt ready to live the life God has planned for me.. which is away of all this control and to be happy! and FINALLY fullfill my dreams.. So I'm just letting you know these 3 words that God gave me last year.. "DONT GIVE UP" sounds like the worst advice.. it did to me too.. but the bible tells us that if we just keep having doubts in our heads that God cant bring us out or he wont help us get closer to Him then He cant and wont help us.. but if we give our all to Him.. in time, we will be ready and be able to acheive our dreams! we just gotta believe in him.. and believe in ourselves that God DOES love us and no matter what other people say about us.. we will be able to get closer to Him. and live our dreams. So my friend, I can see that you love God:) just start focusing on your relationship with God, keep praying for your dreams to come true.. and trust me. It'll happen! I'm living proof! I'll be praying for you:) God bless!
