Well thanks for encouraging me. I do look forward to healing from all this through Jesus. It's also good to grow stronger and be able to handle tough situations as preparation for persecution

That would be nice if they were willing to work through all this. They are not. They are also not forgiving each other. They are just not talking to each other. I'm glad I don't have to live in two homes so I agree with what you are saying, that would probably be harder, but honestly your last...

It is extremely hard to be joyful doing sth with the family when everybody is forcing themselves to stay. In general though, I agree. I have seen how much of an impact my efforts and love make. On the other hand though it is so hard to keep on being joyful and trying when nothing seems to...

You are so right, they love us kids. Its so helpful to hear you as a parent talk about the love you have for your kids, because I don't think we kids could ever imagine how strong it is. But I know they don't love each other so that suck. Still they are probably dping their best so its good to...

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that, and will come back to it :). God bless you too.

That´s a little difficult to say. I would not say that the situation has improved, but I do believe that my parents are able to cope with it better currently. There is no open conflict, but a certain tension you know? Nothing that you could pin down that easily, so it is quite difficult to...

what a reminder, thanks

Oh, that is so sweet of you, thanks for remebering me and asking! Easter wasn´t as painful as I thought it might be! There was quite an argument on Saturday before Easter, so I was a little apprehensive that day, but Easter itself actually was a beautiful day as far as I remember. We could not...

wow, this is so beautiful! I love how creation makes us adore our creator. Thank you for sharing this poem.

It´s funny, because I do the same! I read many books about love. So whenever I have the opprtunity to watch that movie I will, thank you so much for the suggestion. I also ofen try to escape reality, and even try to spend most of the time alone, so that I am surounded with peace and quiet and...

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this. It has been very helpful for me. First and foremost the reminder to have grace. That is definitely something I have to work on. Also, that a separation does not have to make things better. We are in so stuck a situation - makes it very...

You can´t imagine how good it is to hear that simple: "You´ll be fine" Right now, I feel so stuck. I must remind myself that the future holds more for me than this. I´d add: not only are they afraid of the unknown, they are also afraid of their family and friends´ reaction! This is a major...

Thank you, I know the serenity prayer but have never prayed it that often. So I will now follow your suggestion, and I hope it will help me come to terms with what is happening.

Hello... as you might imagine, situations like the one in our family last, and nothing has really changed in the last weeks. Thats why I am really scared of Easter. The past two years, there always was a major argument at Easter, and I was really unhappy. I remember answering casusal...

well sadly that is not something we live by right now- at least not all of us. my parent will not take it and say: don´t quote scripture at me... (they are christian though, so it is really weird. I don´t know what to make of that...)And our fmily in general is not like the one described there...

also: not bottling is so important, thanks for your reminder. I had a conversation with a friend, finally telling that friend how I feel and what is going on, and it was very healing to me, even if my friend obviously cannot do anything. So that is something I have learned: communicate :)

Well, maybe I just need to be more brave. But it still is not very easy, my parent will not see it as an argument if you quote scripture, and will generally not listen to anything but their opinion. My parent is not open to criticism. But I think that you are right, and I should say sth...

Thanks for your prayer, it means a lot. It actually does help to know that I am not the only one to go through this kind of situation, and what helps even more is the fact that others have turned out ok. I know God can use this for his glory and my good, for I love him. I am not so very...

I will pray. You are right, I am left carrying a lot of responsibility in the household, but also generally. It´s tough, but carrying the general burden of all the conflict is much harder. My siblings also know a lot less about the situation thatn I do so I don´t have very many people to talk...

unfortunately I don´t have that possibility
