One of my close friends has been forced out of home by her mother's unreasonable demands. Mainly to do with money and transport to her university course and restrictions her mother has placed on that. She can't afford to do what her mother wants reguards getting from that home to her studys daily so she has to move out.
The bit that bugs me the most is that she is likely to be moving in with her non christian boyfriend. And we all know how that goes. I fear for her spiritual walk and the things her mother is forcing her into that I know are going to be bad for her. (seen some of it before in this family) I don't expect her to attend church as she will have no transport to anywhere. In fact right now she doesn't plan on eating for a few days until she can get money off her brother. Literally no current income or place to stay long term.

I want to help but am unable to. I am angry with her mother for the demands she has made. This friend is 21 and not even allowed a key to the home she pays her mother to live in. She must be home only when her mother is or she is not allowed in the house.

Please pray for this situation. God can fix things or work things for her good... I can't see how but I know he can.

Get real. Her mother is doing her a huge favor. Does a bird keep the babies in the nest if they won't try and fly? No it pushes them out and forces them. Your friend was an adult at 18. Grow up already and stand on your own two feet and quit mooching off the old mother. Finally she'll be able to start her adult life! Be happy for her. And send a thank you card to that girls mother tomorrow okay. She did the right thing!

A good mother trains her dauther to take care of herself and maintain her faith then sends her out.
This one trained her to trust nobody and be trusted by nobody, and sent her off with a suitcase and no means of supporting herself. All because she didn't want to trust her daughter.
The daughter had left home and moved citys but returned when the mother pleaded with her to come back. During which time life changes were made that relied on the mother actually being trustworthy. Her mother has failed her.

If you think it's healthy for the daughter to be forced to live with her nonchristian boyfriend because she literally has nowhere else to go then that says more for you than it does me. The mother would rather her daughter live in sin and sleep/sex with the bf than live with her which she had pleaded for only months ago.
If the mother hadn't messed it all up in the first place then the daughter would not have given up her income and comitted to full time study. Now she's stuck with the consequences of her mothers demands.
Her mother is not letting her live her own life at all. She wants her daughter to be a slave and drive her everywhere even if she needs to be across city at the university, or else she is thrown out.

It is not for you to judge without knowing the whole situation. What I know is that if I hadn't fed her tonight she would not have even eaten at all. And might not again for a few more days.

GOOD GRIEF Canadian36 how can you be so cold and heartless. Geez I heard that the people from canada was cold. Why did you have to prove that? Though I wouldn't stereotype the whole of canada because of you. I'm sure there's nice warm people in canada. I'm sure of it. Maybe it's just you that's cold.

Jesus said,"For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal."

Son of Adam you're a great friend! At least we know you're standing on the right side of Jesus.

Sorry young folks & Canada judgers, ;) I gotta say that a little shove out of the nest does one nothing but good. When we allow our children to remain in our homes too long we steal their accomplishment in relying on God and getting through life on their own. If she moves in with her bf its not moms fault, its her choice. I choose to live with 4 other girls my age, that was my choice, then I choose to live with the man I married b4 married also my choice but I wasnt in Christ at that time but did come to the Lord shortly after moving in. We make our own choices and it is well and good to leave home & live with a bunch of friends and learn how to make it in this world.

With all this being said I will definitely pray for your friend, for the Lord to provide her with all that she needs including a residence not in sin. Keep in mind, if they are sleeping together outside marriage they are already in sin & paying bills together doesnt make this more sinful. (not that I judge that as I was there at the beginning of my faith walk too) The Holy Spirit did minister to both of us though about our sin & we married to make it right.

I pray that the Lord would bless your friend & her relationship with her folks. And you as well as you are a beautiful caring friend. :) She will be a-ok & I know she will find something to eat!

I will pray that the Lord will guide your friend through the right paths by closing and opening doors, and by touching her soul to chose correctly, and my the Lord put godly people in her way to help her and give her advise, and my the Lord give you wisdom so that you may know the words from the Lord to say to her. God Bless you!

There's a difference between pushing out a lazy child who doesn't want to grow up, and having a child working for her education and staying at home to help stay focused on their education.
