If somebody is abusive and still get what they want, what message is that giving out to them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, I don't know if there are several people (including yourself)all living in an apt & she is ignoring her roommates................I just think it is totally confusing,can you help me to understand & clarify what you are talking about so that I could know how to answer your question? Also,in spite of what happening & who's conscience is bothering who? Thank you,I mean no disrespect I am just confused/////////////// With love-in Christ,Kwik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes back to give a man a fish youve fed him for a day-teach a man to fish, and youve fed him for a lifetime. Time to start saying no. If said person ignores you so be it. Either that, or give-but start instead of just free giving, a barter system. If she needs something get something in return, have her help around the house or something.

In our desire to help, we do so not know the whole story, just what we are told. He, on the other hand, knows the whole story! Trust in the Lord with all your heart!
