I understand the problem with C-diff, my mother had it, and it is very scary stuff. We know that all things happen for a reason, and that God will not forsake you. Trusting that Casey will be fully whole soon, because our God is able. Sister Cyndi (posted in Cassia) Sarah dear, It has been a long time. I pray that all is well with you. I know that even though you put down that you are an athesit that you really aren't because if you were, you wouldn't be asking for prayer. I hoping that school is going well and I'm thankful that you found a job that you like. How is spola? God Bless write soon. Sister Cyndi (posted in hello..) Sweetie, I can sympathize with your pain. I can also understand the frustration that your mother is going through. She is in pain, because when she got married she did not think that she would ever be in this position. It sounds like (even though you didn't say it) that your father is not helping her out financially, as he should. I think that it is wonderful that you are willing to help with the expenses, but you should have some for yourself. Have you tried to sit down with her and talk it over without fighting? On a day when she is in a good mood, just say "hey Mom, can we talk about this? Can we come to an agreement about the money I make?" Tell her that you understand that bills need to be paid, and that you are willing to help, but you would also like to have some spending money as well. First of all before you start your conversation, tell her that you love her. Do something extra to help her out, such as maybe make dinner one night, or set the table or some other tasks that she normally does. Do this without being asked, and when she says something about it, just say, "it's because I love you Mom." And remind her that you are in this together and that you are not the enemy but her friend. Sometimes we lash out in frustration and hurt, and that is what your mother is doing. When you feel like crying go to the other room away from her so that she doesn't see it. She thinks that you are using that as a tool to get your way. Don't be afraid to say to her, "Mom, that hurt when you said that." The main thing to do when there seems to be an argument coming on is to change the atomsphere, in other words, ease the tension in the room. Try bringing out the your baby pictures and asking some silly questions, such as "was I a good baby" "what was I doing in this picture" "where was this picture taken" things like that sometimes can change the subject and bring some peace into the household. I know you are the child and she is the adult, but sometimes we have to act more mature than our parents when they are acting immature. I pray that these suggestions help. I will keep you in my prayers. Remember it is not you that she is angry at, but the situation that she is in. I believe that she loves you very much. So tell her you love her too.
