What do you want me to do about it? These kinds of questions will empower us to lean on him, trust him, and be able to move forward" is totally right on. It saddens me that my daughters are shutting me out but I'm totally leaning on God for His guidance. I will continue to pray for my girls and for my sad heart. But HE is the one with the answers. I trust Him completely! Hugs! Joshua,

People can be so disgusting! Stay away from that person. If a person causes you headache and pain, then they dont deserve to be in your life. They are toxic.. cut all ties, and if you have to, pray to God that He protects you from that person. It will be okay, pray until something happens, aka P.U.S.H. AND STAY STRONG!!! To Tesha,

I was burdened by the wrongs done to me, especially by one person from my past. I prayed, I went to the ministry for help, but I still felt the negative emotions. This person continued to torment me. Everytime I tried to escape this relationship, this person would keep coming back and causing more misery in my life. I told what was done and how it made me feel and was called a liar. I pray for this person's healing. I also walked away from that relationship and the torment. I choose to forgive. Now I want to be set free from the negative emotions and experience the joy of the Lord and for everything that was lost and stolen as a result of being involved in this relationship to be restored.

I feel that a HUGE weight was lifted off me and my eyes opened to the bigger picture. I have been wounded very deeply by many professing Christians over the years. I have always struggled with the question "why". Why do these things happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? How can a person call themselves a Christian and treat me this way? Just yesterday the Lord revealed to me that I need to stop asking "why". Most of us will never get a satisfactory answer to this question anyway. At least not in this lifetime. We cannot have a true sense of closure if we are continuously asking "why". The question we need to ask instead is "Lord, where do I go from here?" This very bad thing has happened to me. What do you want me to do about it? These kinds of questions will empower us to lean on him, trust him, and be able to move forward. This well written article showed me HOW to move forward. I pray that the Lord will greatly bless the writer!!! We CAN overcome! < What a blessed article! I feel that a HUGE weight was lifted off me and my eyes opened to the bigger picture.

This article hit EVERY crevice of my 12 year ordeal and I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders forever! I divorced my husband 12 years ago after my 3 daughters were grown, married and with families of their own. They knew how unhappy I was with their father. He was controling, manipulative and would verbally abuse me. They urged me to get out from under his abuse. But after the divorce things changed. It was as if they thought I was wrong for leaving him. To this day I'm treated badly by them. I feel excluded and that I am not their mother. We have discussed this but things are still the same. We made it through Christmas this year and I am sad to say that. I don't want to "get through" things, especially holy days. So, after reading this article I have, indeed, given this up to God. Let Him be the judge, whether I have done wrong or my daughters continue to treat me wrongly. I am done. I am allowing myself to be rid of the negative and unahppy feelings that have been in my heart all these years. My "blink" is lightened and I look forward to my time in eternity!

This article hit EVERY crevice of my 9 year nightmare that I've been living in. I openly confessed to God about forgiveness (for the 1st offense - very violent in nature) and the negative feelings went away IMMEDIATELY. But for some reason, the most recent thing, I went through - psychological abuse with this (same) person and it has ripped my life apart regarding ANYONE hurting me. I REFUSED to be manipulated, abused or anything else - irregardless if the person was a friend, family - and christian. I can now think back on the things I said: "I am a bully's worst nightmare". I have gone to counseling, talked to ministers, friends, family, etc...My feelings this time are worse because the effects were psychological. Your article is helping me to pinpoint why? I was just asking a family member that this morning: I want God to show me HOW and WHY this thing is trying to take over my life. I have now saved - as a reminder, to read, Leviticus and Romans...these two were pretty POTENT for me to be like whoa - enough already! Wow!

Stating boundaries about verbal abuse is a good start. You didn't say what you have said to your mother. It sounds like there is something unresolved between the two of you, which would make it a present problem. If it can't be worked out without her getting angry and your walking away, ask her to go to counseling with you, or ask a Godly adult to join the two of you to discuss it. Ask her to pray with you. You said that your Mom was hurting. You can help your mother the most by loving her and taking the steps that will reconcile your relationship with her.

Example a parent still calls you dumb-stupid-crazy-lazy-no good when they get mad. Is it ok to say if you do not change your speaking of me in a more kind way i will have to leave. Then if they do not change there tone i leave. Usually with the parent still hollering all the above but also adds u gut less wonder stay here and fight. I have forgiven this parent and still try to have a relationship with them but this parent can get physically abusive also. I know that this parent is just has a lot of hurts that they have not let go of. My prayer is that God will bring the right person to lead them into their freedom in Christ. I did try in the past to talk with them about God and freedom from the bondages of the passed all it did was upset the parent and they stated i have reading my bible longer then you. You have no right and do not know more then me. So now i keep quiet and leave when i need to.
