Warning, forgiving isn't just done once sometimes. It "should" be but we're human, so often take it back. Some times we have to forgive one thing for years, decades. I have forgiven my rapist, and yet still have to forgive them again, whenever I take it back, and honestly? I haven't seen them since and it's 40 years ago. So it's not their problem. It's mine.
I suspect you'll be forgiving your Mom often.
I suspect you'll be forgiving your Mom often.
I have spent the late half of my adult life questioning everything I do two three sometimes four times. Because of the abuse I suffered when I was younger by my father I have been so unsure of anything I try to decide on. The fact that my mother stopped being a mother when I was 12 destroyed me as Well plus mt father divorced my mom and took off and was barley ever around. I have had so much rejection and abandoment in my life it is no wonder I don't feel safe making choices for myself.
I have tried for many years of therapy and such to rebuild my courage in myself and it is still hard to feel like I am making the right choices about things. The only choice I know is a good choice is rebuilding my relationship with God.

Deuteronomy 31New International Version (NIV)
Joshua to Succeed Moses
Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel:
“I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The Lord has said to me,
‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’
The Lord your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the Lord said. And the Lord will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. The Lord will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel,
“Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the Lord swore to their ancestors to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand.
Joshua went up to him and asked,
“Are you for us or for our enemies?”
“Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”
Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him,
“What message does my Lord[e] have for his servant?”
The commander of the Lord’s army replied,
“Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.”
And Joshua did so.

It wasn't a "simple shove". He's been physically abusive to her for quite awhile.. And yes, most abusers would rather kill their wife, rather than have her leave him. And I haven't seen where she's invited ANYONE to come over and shoot him..I think you need to put on your glasses and re-read her posts...
My eyes are just fine.
One of the tact.s certain posters use to remain transparent is by using accronyms.
I've encountered these before.
There is no need to get yourself involved in this thread.
There is very little if no honesty being conveyed by the op.
They have only responded to sound judgement with contempt.
And when instructed to go to the Authorities, what was the response.
No,

You finding this statement amusing is not even close to being sincere about your faith in The Holy One of Israel.

Only a sadistic Ba'al worshipper seeks the detriment of their own soul.
And further seeks as many as it can to snare the innocent into their own misery.
If you do not understand.
This practice and relic of the past is promoted by whom exactly?
This instance on the mount is a crucial part of a persons walk with the Lord.
1 Kings 18Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
18 A long time passed. Then, in the third year, the word of Adonai came to Eliyahu:
“Go, present yourself to Ach’av, and I will send rain down on the land.”
2 When Eliyahu went to present himself to Ach’av, the famine in Shomron had become severe. 3 Ach’av called ‘Ovadyah, who was in charge of the palace. Now ‘Ovadyah greatly revered Adonai; 4 for example, when Izevel was murdering Adonai’s prophets, ‘Ovadyah took a hundred prophets, hid them in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water. 5 Ach’av said to ‘Ovadyah, “Go throughout the land, and check all the springs and vadis; maybe we can find grass somewhere, so that we can keep the horses and mules alive and not lose all the animals.” 6 So they divided between them the territory to be visited; Ach’av went one way by himself, and ‘Ovadyah went another way by himself.
7 ‘Ovadyah was on the road when suddenly Eliyahu encountered him. ‘Ovadyah recognized him, fell on his face and said, “Is it really you, my lord Eliyahu?” 8
He answered,
“Yes, it is I; go, tell your master, ‘Eliyahu is here.’”
9 ‘Ovadyah replied, “How have I sinned, that you would hand your servant over to Ach’av to kill me? 10 As Adonai your God lives, there can’t be a single nation or kingdom where my master hasn’t sent to search you out; and in each kingdom or nation where they said, ‘He isn’t here,’ he made them take an oath that they hadn’t found you. 11 Now you say, ‘Go tell your master, “Eliyahu is here.”’ 12 But as soon as I leave you, the Spirit of Adonai will carry you off to I don’t know where; so that when I come and tell Ach’av, and he can’t find you, he will kill me. But I your servant have revered Adonai from my youth — 13 wasn’t my lord told what I did when Izevel killed Adonai’s prophets, how I hid a hundred of Adonai’s prophets by fifties in caves and supplied their food and water? 14 Now you say, ‘Go tell your master, “Look, Eliyahu is here.”’ Why, he’ll kill me!” 15 Eliyahu said, “As Adonai-Tzva’ot lives, before whom I stand, I will present myself to him today.”
16 So ‘Ovadyah went, found Ach’av and told him; and Ach’av went to meet Eliyahu. 17 When Ach’av saw Eliyahu, Ach’av said to him, “Is it really you, you troubler of Isra’el?”
18 He answered, “I haven’t troubled Isra’el, you have, you and your father’s house, by abandoning Adonai’s mitzvot and following the ba‘alim. 19 Now order all Isra’el to assemble before me on Mount Karmel, along with the 450 prophets of Ba‘al and the 400 prophets of the asherah who eat at Izevel’s table.”
20 Ach’av sent word to all the people of Isra’el and assembled the prophets together on Mount Karmel. 21 Eliyahu stepped forward before all the people and said,
“How long are you going to jump back and forth between two positions? If Adonai is God, follow him; but if it’s Ba‘al, follow him!”
The people answered him not a word.
22 Then Eliyahu said to the people,
“I, I alone, am the only prophet of Adonai who is left, while Ba‘al’s prophets number 450. 23 Let them give us two young bulls, and they can choose the bull they want for themselves. Then let them cut it in pieces and lay it on the wood but put no fire under it. I will prepare the other bull, lay it on the wood and put no fire under it. 24 Then, you, call on the name of your god; and I will call on the name of Adonai; and the God who answers with fire, let him be God!”
All the people answered, “Good idea! Agreed!”
25 Then Eliyahu said to the prophets of Ba‘al,
“Choose one bull for yourselves, and prepare it first; because there are many of you. Then call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it.”
26 They took the bull that was given to them, prepared it and called on the name of Ba‘al from morning till noon — “Ba‘al! Answer us!” But no voice was heard; and no one answered, as they jumped around on the altar they had made.
27 Around noon Eliyahu began ridiculing them: “Shout louder! After all, he’s a god, isn’t he? Maybe he’s daydreaming, or he’s on the potty, or he’s away on a trip. Maybe he’s asleep, and you have to wake him up.”
28 So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and knives, as their custom was, until blood gushed out all over them. 29 By now it was afternoon, and they went on ranting and raving until it was time for the evening offering. But no voice came, no one answered, no one paid any attention.
30 Then Eliyahu said to all the people,
“Come here to me.”
All the people came up to him, as he set about repairing the altar of Adonai that had been broken down. 31 Eliyahu took twelve stones, in keeping with the number of tribes of the sons of Ya‘akov, to whom the word of Adonai had come, saying, “Your name is to be Isra’el.”
32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of Adonai. Then he dug a trench around the altar large enough for half a bushel of grain. 33 He arranged the wood, cut up the bull and laid it on the wood. 34 Then he said,
“Fill four pots with water, and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”
They did it.
“Do it again,” he said, and they did it again.
“Do it a third time,” he said, and they did it a third time. 35 By now the water was flowing around the altar, and it had filled the trench. 36 Then, when it came time for offering the evening offering, Eliyahu the prophet approached and said, “Adonai, God of Avraham, Yitz’chak and Isra’el, let it be known today that you are God in Isra’el, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things at your word. 37 Hear me, Adonai, hear me, so that this people may know that you, Adonai, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back to you.”
38 Then the fire of Adonai fell. It consumed the burnt offering, the wood, the stones and the dust; and it licked up the water in the trench.
39 When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “Adonai is God! Adonai is God!” 4
0 Eliyahu said to them, “Seize the prophets of Ba‘al! Don’t let one of them escape!”
They seized them; and Eliyahu brought them down to Vadi Kishon and killed them there.
41 Then Eliyahu said to Ach’av,
“Get up, eat, and drink, because I hear the sound of heavy rain.” 42 Ach’av went up to eat and drink, while Eliyahu went up to the top of the Karmel. He bowed down to the ground and put his face between his knees. 43
“Now,” he said to his servant, “go up, and look out toward the sea.”
He went up, looked, and said, “There’s nothing there.” Seven times he said,
“Go again.”
44 The seventh time, the servant said, “Now there’s a cloud coming up out of the sea, no bigger than a man’s hand.”
Eliyahu said,
“Go up, and say to Ach’av, ‘Prepare your chariot, and get down the mountain before the rain stops you!”
45 A little later, the sky grew black with clouds and wind; and heavy rain began falling; as Ach’av, riding in his chariot, made for Yizre‘el. 46 The hand of Adonai was on Eliyahu; he tucked up his clothing and ran ahead of Ach’av to the entrance of Yizre‘el.
Proverbs 25
If someone who hates you is hungry, give him food to eat;
and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.
22 For you will heap fiery coals [of shame] on his head,
and Adonai will reward you.
23 The north wind brings rain
and a backbiting tongue, angry looks.
