my father has never been in my life he left me and my mom after she got pregnant , he's always struggled with alcohol addiction but just a few years ago he stopped drinking and said that he had given his heart to God . now after hearing that, I became excited and was happy for him thinking that he was a changed man that he would actually care for me , but nope the only thing he ever called me for was to tell me he was getting married he had said the woman he was going to marry was a good Christian lady , now there was nothing "Christian" or "good" about here ever since they got married all she has done is tear my fathers family apart , my family from my fathers side has always been close they're good people and I'm blessed to be apart of them but ever since my fathers wife came in all she has done is start rumors about his family and somehow gotten all his family too turn their backs on each other, and recently she had a fall out with my aunt , now my aunt has Never said anything bad about her, but then his wife just randomly starts telling her she was going to fight her and started calling her the devil o_O such a "good Christian right" ? I just want my family to start talking again, It hurts to see them like this . all I ask is for prayer on my family that they would all open their eyes and see that all this is wrong

hi Gena
Sorry to hear about all this. Have you tried talking to some of your family members one on one? So often in families the dynamic is 'we don't talk about the big things'. Perhaps what your family needs is the voice of reason to make them second guess their own actions and to see whats going on. It may or may not work, but worth a try. The key is doing it one on one. Trying to get everyone to talk, or a few of them, runs the risk of arguments flaring up. And don't approach people angry or demanding. Just share whats on your heart, what you see and how it makes you feel. And never with an attack. The more you keep to sharing what you see and how it makes you feel, and the less you focus on saying things that sounds like an attack, the more they're likely to hear what you're saying. Otherwise they just become defensive. Something to consider and pray about.

I ask the Lord that this scar will heal and be removed. This is not something you should be involved in, nor take sides. Strife, brings confusion, and bitterness, between those fighting, like a knife in action, and division is not from the LOrd. Understand that some people say once you accept Jesus you are perfect, or they are perfect, this is not true. It takes commitment and to grow spiritually. The story about the seeds sown on shallow soil, like the word it was sown, but it didn't take root because the soil was shallow, or on a rock, and the birds took it, or stony ground, a heart that needs healing. This is a divided atomosphere, and your like where. Take your energy, and prayers like you did here, and talk daily to God, forgive everyone, and I pray that you will find acceptance, fellowship, and love in a youth church group, and emotional support. This pain will drive you to the worldly things, the adversary will use this opening to latch on to your hurt, and cause weakness to your spirit. Pray for everyone, and may the peace of God guard you heart, and mind. Get a pet, and love it, it will love you back, when other's are in turmoil it's not your move to put things together, only the Lord is able, through prayer. Psalm 23.
