I live with my mom, dad, and 15 year old brother. I'm 24 now. My father and us have had a very difficult relationship for the past 10 or more years now. Let's start with my brother. My father has animosity against my younger brother. Since he was born, when he would cry(even then), he would tell him to SHUT UP and so forth. He is very pessimistic when it comes to him. My brother is trying to be a better person, wanting to be an architect, but my father is always PICKING on him on the sly. They really don't spend time together. When my brother wants to do spend time with him, he has told me that my father would say he has other things to do. This makes my brother feel bad and he gets an attitude with him. Bottom line: My dad puts us last and his other family first-meaning(his mother/sisters(2). They live 5 minutes awat. That's very hurtful. He doesn't even TALK with my mother at all. If he does, he always wants to get his word out, GOD forbid, if she has something to say; he talks over her and with animosity. My mom's a good person. She's always going out her way for us and he's always acting this way. I don't think he knows how to be a father nor a husband and that's sad. He's been on disability for three years now, and my mom's working to try to help pay all the bills(I'm still looking for work), our house is in foreclosure and he is still saying she isn't doing ANYTHING to help him out. He really makes me sick sometimes. Now he doesn't want any of her family(her mom, sister/brother in law,) to come to the house and they are the ones that are always helping us,(bringing food, etc.) His family(my grandmother/aunts) don't even talk to us-over 4 years nor do they help us. They even came over last christmas and brought over a x-mas present just for my father and no one else. They don't call us on birthdays or any other holidays. I ask God, what have I done to them??? He would never defend us to them, so I guess that's okay for his own mother not to talk to her own grandchildren. I have not done anything to them. I have called her up numerous times and she rushes me off the phone. I also believe their into witchcraft as well, a neighbor of theirs has mentioned this(proof) Then, again...that's another story. We have had nothing but problems after problems. Please pray for us. That my father will change his heart and allow the family to come together again. This is his doing. He's a very childish person and petty; he has the attitude of (one bad apple spoils the bunch). I don't like to talk ill of him, but this has to stop. He has ruined our family without knowing it. He always talks nice to others outside , but inside our house is a living hell. Because of him, I don't call his mom/sisters anymore for fear they will talk to me with animosity. I have left messages on their voicmail with no return phone call as the result. In my prayer request, the goal is not to make myself, brother, mother and the rest of our family appear like GOLD. We are all sinners. I do pray his family will put away their animosity, envy, so we can be a family again. My mom and her sister's family, and my grandmother(mother's side) stay in constant contact, but my father's family doesn't want that. What's a human to do???? |
