Thank you very much for your reply. I appreciate your prayers and helpfulness. I am doing much better than I was when I wrote that. I am in the process of becoming more positive again and trying to forgive my parents, because I do want them in my life. I know the Lord will help me through this
God bless you
That's nice advice..IF your parents are willing to repent of their actions and not continue hurting you. Of course, mistakes and relapses will happen, but if it's not in a person's heart to repent (this is the case with my mom, she can not see how she's done wrong, even after I have told her), then one must put God, spouse and children above parents and move on. Not that you can't forgive-forgiveness does not require the wrongful parent to make amends, it is something YOU do - but that doesn't mean that you should let your parents continue to trample on you.
