My Earthly Father

[Hunibuni]

My earthly father has worked my nerves so that I am in some serious need for prayer. I have been praying all day long that I don't allow my heart to hardened toward him. I do not like him at all right now. I have tried and tried to look beyond his faults and see his need. My problem occured when my mother was diagnosed with heart disease and he just doesn't care, he is more concerned about his little boo boo's. He threw my mother out of the house because even though she caters to his every wimp decides that she doesn't do enough for him. This woman is a saint because I would have left his hateful behind years ago. I think I may be in the few number of people who prayed to God that my mother would leave him, and I started praying that as a child. He treats my mother like crap. I am married and a mother of three and if my husband even tried to go their with me Lord help us. My father is verbally abusive, as he once was and still maybe physically abusive. I don't like him. I better stop now before I just break down crying.

I'm praying, too. I'm really sorry.

  Praying for you, for your spiritual and emotional strength and healing, as well as for you mother.

I don't know what to pray for your father, but that God would touch his heart somehow!

I thank you all for praying for my family. My mother is back in the house and she blames it on the medication he is on. Considering he is taking medication that can alter your mood. But that is still no excuse. I cry for her! She is better than I am cause I would have jetted a long, long, long time ago when he wasn't on any medication.

I missed this! I'm so sorry!  

When you mentioned the medication, I wondered if his behavior is recent or has it always been like that?
