Hi all I just wanted to share with you kinda some stuff that has happened and like stuff that I need prayer with and assistance with.

I was born to a mom and dad but they had never married before having me. (My mom has sence became a chrisitian early in my life)
My mom says that my father never said he loved her and that makes me really sad and she says she doesnt think she is beautiful because she is 150-200 pounds overweight. I just really wish she would feel beautiful. What can I do to help her feel beautiful again?
(Im only 13 so this will be kinda shortish.)
I always had to go back and forth between father and mother and sence my father wasnt there for the first three or so years of my life I grew very attached to my mother who I had already been through a lot with. (Once she was in the hospital for a month and I had to like live with my babysitter.)
So whenever I had to go with my dad I would always cry and miss my mother to peices.
I thinks she felt so guilty because as most children sleep in there own beds at a very young age I was probably 9 or 10 when I stopped. This is something I dont really like to share because it is embarressing.
(I have to take anti anxiety medicine and melatonin so I can sleep at night.)
Whenever I was with my dad (who was still legally married but basically divorced without the papers. With a girlfreind) I would be like the average little kid who would ask for a lot of stuff in the store and they almost trained me not to ask or want for anything. Through the years he has also made rude remarks about my mom and say "Use your Gill Brain" (My mom was a boland and he was a gill.)
So sence I have been attached to my mother I have always been very sensitive and I guess she kinda rubbed off on me because I have very low self esteem and body image.
The last time I saw my father was probaably a few years ago.
My mom asked." So you wash your hands clean of your son?"
And I remember his exact words,"Yes I do."
He has sence tried to apologize but he would never admit to what he has done he would say
"Well IF I did I am sorry."
I think I have forgiven him as much as possible in my heart but I am used to staying in one house now and it is just easier not to go between houses again.
I have never really had a real girlfreind but I have grown with Christ through the years and I beleive in courting and not today's definition of dating.
So My Main Sins (Though I know no one can only have 3) are- Envy, Not Forgiving, and Lust
I am trying to work with god and prayer to remove these parasites from my life.
So I guess just read and reply to whatever catches your eye.

I would say forget the girlfriend courting thing. You want to learn how to overcome sin? Draw near to your Father in heaven. A great way to learn to submit to God is to submit to your own father. Put your focus on honoring your mother and father and the rest will melt away.

You make it sound like I dont know god at all
I love my father and mother but it is hard to forget
him WASHING HIS HANDS of me
That is what I think Pontious did to Jesus so he wouldnt have anything to do with him.

Ok for one of the last times.
I do sumbit to my mother and do the best to obey her.
And I do not live with my father and he said that he didnt want anything to do with me.
He tried to rebuild bridges but god and I are still figuring that out because he (not chrisitan) may not be the best influence on me in the first place.

The bible does not say submit if the will of your father is easy. Or even if your father is Christian. If your father's will is not to see you, as hard as that is submit.

(I get it but God wouldnt take that on all basis. Ie if the will of your father/mother is to disobey god then you have the right not to.)
My father said he washed his hands clean of me but he will not admit to it. He tried to rebuild bridges but I dont think it is god's will to continue moving from house to house.
I will pray on it.

True if your father on earth is asking you to do something that is against the will of God you side with the father. However, going back and forth between houses while difficult is not sinful in nature.

I know it is not sinful but I am just saying it is not nessecary.
