Please pray for my family: Dad seems to get extremely upset over inconsequential stuff (like that I had some ice water in the freezer) or he doesn't think we need certain things (threw everything he didn't think belonged in the guestroom into the hall ... which I had to put in my room and in my storage unit ... though most of it wasn't mine). I hate to say this, but he is verbally abusive, bullying both Mom and I. When he's nice, he's very nice, but when he gets upset, he forgets all we've done for him and treats us like stupid, evil subordinates. Last Sunday Dad got upset because Mom tithe on her meager income. (He's long been jealous of God not realizing that, if it wasn't for her love for Jesus, she wouldn't put up with any of this ... nor should she!) We're still dealing with that today!!! It's calmer right now, but .... I skipped a date with a friend today because Mom begged me not to leave her alone with Dad. I know he won't hit her, but his mocking belittling is emotionally draining for both of us. We really need God to hit Dad with a Damascus Revelation!!!!

*sigh*

Sorry to lay all this on you, but God's got to start intervening. AND I still need work good enough and steady enough to get a decent place of my I own ... I haven had a job in 14 months and not enough before that to qualify for unemployment ... HELP!!!!

Has he always been like this ? If not , maybe there is something going on with him that neither you or your mom are aware of ? Might be worth an investigation .

I'm praying for you, dear daughter .
