You might also consider getting some Christian counseling if you struggle so much that you cant stand her. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If such wasn't the case, I'm pretty sure I'd either be in prison or dead. Maybe/probably both. Speaking of death, I'm grateful to be alive; I've made enough mistakes to where I'm glad to have a chance to even just try to make up for them, somehow or another. Happy my life isn't worse, happy to be given a chance to grow and learn... Thankful in general, really. As for your mom, I guess I don't know the situation. What I will say though is that there is never a perfect parent (except God, of course), much less a perfect person. Must a grudge last forever? Life is too short for such a thing. I can't really give much detail-oriented advise though, beyond that. Another piece of advice I might offer is that of honest self-evaluation. I once had a coworker call me lazy, who I perceived as rather lazy himself. I have to be honest, I was livid. I wanted to tackle him to the ground and spit the most phlegmy loogie in his face as I could. Pelt him with punches and call him trash. I was shaking and pacing, trying to hold myself back. Even when I got home, it still made my teeth itch. As I laid in my bed though, I wondered, why should he call me lazy? I would take a step back from certain things, and admittedly, I'm not a very quick worker. I also wondered why I should care what he thinks. He was hardly an exemplary person from which I could be offended. If I was a boxer and Mike Tyson said I was a limp-armed princess, my reaction would at least make sense. This was like an old woman saying such a thing, instead. So, regardless of what he thought, I decided to just try and work harder. Try not to step back, put a bit more pep in my step. He never changed his mind and continued to try and antagonize me. However, the work became easier and even somewhat fun. His opinion meant little.

I was recently reminded of this when my computer monitor developed a problem that required me to replace it. It was around seven years old and I was wanting to get a new one anyway. I was planning to wait until a bit later in the year but the unexpected breakdown of the old monitor led to me finding an amazing deal. I call that God pointing me to a discount. Other than that I find myself thanking God for my cat fairly often. She makes me smile a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starts the day off right and breakfast is indeed a blessing. I know of folks in some parts of the world who for the first meal of the day eat the unborn young of one animal with the belly of another and a little smushed up grass with possibly some roots.
