Dealing with difficult family??

Question

I'm the only girl and have 4 brothers. One especially pisses me off. To the point where i wish he was dead or i was dead. He's so ignorant, he always thinks he's right, he treats my mom an other brothers like ****. My mom doesnt do anything about it 'cus she just doesn't want to deal with the arguing. There's no point in talking to him about it. It goes in through one ear and out the other. The only way we get along is if we don't talk. My mom and dad p**s me off as well. I feel they don't appreciate what i do and dont understand me. I cant talk to them about how i feel because it's just too akward. I don't really have friends to turn to. I'm putting this on here 'cus i was tired of keeping this inside. How can i deal with this? How can i pray for them when they make me so angry?? Can any Christians out there help me?

Answer 1

Jesus commands us to love and pray for our enemies.  Pray that you will have wisdom in how to deal with them. Pray for Him to take away your anger. Always pray for His will to be done, and it is not His will for your family to be this way. Be willing to follow His leading.   Pray that God will speak to their hearts.  Pray that God will use you to mend your family.  He is the only one who can heal your brokenness.

You do need to find someone you can trust to talk to.  Maybe a youth worker, a school teacher, or another relative.  You don't need to be going thru this alone.  Don't keep it inside any longer.  Find an older female to help you thru this.

Meanwhile, be as loving and kind as you can to your family without letting them take advantage of you. You may be surprised to know that your parents really do want to talk, so you need to make the first move.  

Your entire family needs help.  Once you have found someone to confide in, and have the courage to talk to your parents, then suggest family counseling.  You only get one family and you need to treasure them.

Praying wont help you. I suggest you find a councellor to help you out coz i understand about familes and how emotional draining it can be for you. Just try to talk to someone about it, and tell people how you feel about it. Even try childline to help you.. Hope it works out for you :)
