      Confession and forgiveness is for the purpose of reconciling the relationship. It is fruitless and unbiblical to forgive an unrepentant person. We are not to forgive unrepentant person but we are not to do revenge or treat them disrespectfully when in their company. We are to treat respectfully those who treated us disrespectfully, we give them the love and kindness they didn't give us.

    I just got a divorce from my narcissist husband of 27 years. This wasn't easy. I didn't make this decision. Because there wasn't physical abuse, I asked for his grace to get me through until the kids were grown. I did get to a point of not defending, engaging, explaining, etc. There was infidelity, however I was willing to forgive and go on. I prayed for YEARS that the Lord would come into his being Because I knew that was the only hope for our marriage. It broke my heart it never happened. I finally prayed the dreaded prayer once my kids were grown that if its His will, the Lord set me free from this relationship. He did. My ex divorced me. I'm still healing. God is still good.

    Worth listening to the whole video especially if you have big problems with family or friends.
    1. You stay silent which equals agreement with the toxic behavior.
    2. You struggle with your own boundaries and the boundaries of other people. You don't let people carry their own load.
    3. You give to others to get something out of it. This is a manipulation and also a sign of "codependency".
    4. You are being abused physically OR mentally/emotionally. This is evil, destructive behavior that you are choosing to participate in. Stop trusting the abuser. Get away from the abuser. (A dominant personality is not necessarily abusive)

    Great video topic. I remember when my mom was so mean to me at times. And I never reacted. I decided to kill her with kindness hoping that if I’m nice she will stop. So the meaner she was the nicer I was. And it was like she saw what I was trying to do and wanted to keep pushing me until she got a reaction. She went out her way to hurt me. Said some really hurtful things and I just took it. She broke my heart. A women who abandoned me as a child and we reconnected when I was a young adult and moved in with her. Very bad mistake. We’ve been estranged now for over 10 years.

I can’t drive, even though my family and friends refuse to accept my cash for gas money, I get gift cards to Quiktrip etc and give them those- leaving them in an envelope in their car.

    Not loving but it is sure difficult not to. There is certainly a difference between love and tolerating. For the most part when we enable, we are actually pleasing ourselves and not being willing to endure the hurt we feel when we see the other person having to pay the consequences for their irresponsible behavior and possibly learn an invaluable lesson.

      Me too. I don't think my parents were toxic? I was pretty much having fun and being a good kid. Good grades. I think its society. Its lust and polygamy crap and I'm bi sexual so that means I can sleep with two at same time. I will get tired of you even if you are perfect for me now.. eventually.. and u don't make enough money yet I voted for socialist. . Or you won't get the vaccine and I don't care its 98% survivable..

    What's so difficult is discerning when a person is capable or not. One of my siblings used drugs and alcohol as a teen and early 20s. This sibling now lives with my aging parents and has them conviced that he/she can't be alone so they take turns going out but never get to go out together or go anywhere together with their grandchildren. It's really causing my parents' health to decline. I'm working on building strength around boundaries so I don't become manipulated into helping this sibling after my parents pass away.

      it's so hard when you have a former/current drug addict sibling and seeing the damage they do to parents... I'm the oldest of 5 kids and the middle child , my brother just got released from prison after serving 2 years for drug related offenses. The roller coaster of manipulation he put our mom on is just unbelievable. She does so much for him out of guilt

    • @D2BR
      @D2BR Год назад

      You should share these teachings with your parents. They are not responsible to pick up the pieces for your sibling. Again, responsibility of your sibling is their own. Your parents health is declining bcuz they are essentially, not intentionally, playing God in your siblings life, when God is super available for your sibling directly if they so choose. Why wait til your parents are dead when they can be helped now. Boundaries with family is real and tough, but it is necessary for all involved. Your sibling can be free from bondage as well, if they choose to, but that opportunity to get better will never present itself as long as everyone tries to keep them comfortable. God Bless you all.

    I need to focus on the Lord. It hurts a lot . I did not know at first but the past few years Ive been able to recognize this.
    I'll keep on praying. You're helping me a lot. May the Lord protect you and keep using you to help others.❤

    But when she started to purposely self sabotage and go against everything healthy for her and everything her doctors have told her over many yrs, she finally gave me silent treatment.
    I'm enjoying every minute of this "break".

Praying for everyone who deals with similar circumstances or situations! This video is on point!!

    I find inviting a loved one for a meal is great because you can ensure that they are eating AND you get to spend time together to build the relationship ❤ plus, if they are spending time in a loving environment instead of in the environment where the addiction is happening.
    It's a better use of all the resources of both parties.

So that now, in my moments of not so much suffering, I still remember who he is and still try to find time for him and remember his words. I have also been enlightened by this podcast regarding people who are manipulators and who thinks they are god and stepping up for myself and setting boundaries to be Biblical. Cant find that in catholicism

    A couple of years ago I tried to talk with my working 28 year old son who was living with me at the time, I was paying for everything. He was supposed to be putting himself through school online. I asked him to help me with household expenses because I was unable to keep working. He cut me off mid sentence and said a flat no. He said he couldn't afford it. Then he was having very expensive electronics delivered. I told him that I would not be able to retire and continue to live where we were with out his help. Again I got a flat no and walked away. I was able to find a simple little apartment nearby that I could afford for myself. I told him I was going to move and he needs to find his own place. He did very fast. And he cut off all cut off all contact with not only me but my entire family.
