When we are family we need to put up with a lot of little abuses and still forgive. Parents have had to forgive a lot to keep their family together. I was not a real bad child,growing up in my home,with my siblings. After I went to Bible co. and returned to my home town 12 yrs latter. I had a lot of very disappointing times with my dad. I was looking for some spiritual growth in my dad and he stay the same, mild mannered man he always was. He never took a moral stand in our family, to teach us right and wrong, when we were children, all of us children went into sin. He himself was a very godly man, but he never stood up for Bible morals with anyone. I got to a point where I hated my Father with his mild ,uncondemning ways. He never got mad ,once, in his whole life. My mother was very emotional as I was/am. I was always getting mad at my family. I had one daughter, strong willed like me, that I wish i could have killed a few time; The sad thing is, I did kill our relationship, with the help of my disobedient wife, who always sided with our daughter, in a shouting match. Today. all my family hates me. My wife died at 66 in total disappointment with me. God gave her ocular melinoma, just out of the blue, and she was gone in one yr.. More later. But, learn to roll with the punch and hang in their, until someone threatens to kill you ,then run. Love Hoffco ps. I could use help, if anyone cares to enter into a deep conversion. for a lone time.
