I'm here not because I grew up with a broken family... but as an adult, we are slowly becoming broken. I don't know if I took what I had for granted or maybe I was just blinded of how I saw our family before. I thought it was perfect... It's a toxic family. I'm already feeling empty with a lot of things and this had to happen. And it had to happen now... when I'm in my vulnerable state... when everything I once had are slowly being taken away: friends, career and now family and a home. It's like a whole boulder of problems after the other that I couldn't even catch a breath. I can't imagine how hard it is to endure this during childhood when I'm already feeling the emptiness as an adult.
Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing this! Praying that the unfathomable peace of the Lord Jesus Christ will embrace you. In John 16:33 Jesus says: “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” This is what we believers hold on to; He is our hope and His words will never fail! 🥰
Sorry that you are having a hard time. We seem to want to have something or someone to blame for our broken families. The single parent children are technically orphaned because one parent is gone and the another is gone because they have to work. The trauma comes through the bloodlines so just when your parents thought staying together would “save” or “protect” their children they still fall short. This earth was not meant to be a pleasant place for anyone ever since Satan was here first. It’s his world. Thankfully we have Jesus to go to for EVERYTHING. Matthew 4:4 we are to live by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Write a few scriptures that resonate with you and your situation and say them or meditate on them for comfort. ❤🎚️❤️🩹
My wife is from Batanges, she grew up in a broken family raised by her Grandma. It’s been difficult being married to her, she has been broken and I feel she takes it out on me. I pray for her and trying to bring her close to Jesus.
I live in a broken household with both parents who do not love each other, they do not show affection or nothing. I don’t think my parents ever wanted to be parents, their marriage was arranged. They just traumatized me and my sibling. It’s very sad waking up and seeing how broken my family is, I wish it could be different. Thank you for ur story Kim❤️
My parents divorced 5 years ago when I was 13 and my youngest brother was only 2 🥺 And I still feel the effects even now as my parents don't get along at all and it really makes me doubt marriage..
I did not realize the effect of coming from a broken home has had on me. Getting your hopes up only to be let down when your other parent fails to see plans through. I think that disappointment has led me to become hyper-independent. You grow up and realize your parents are not reliable.
I was born into a Military Family both my Mom and Dad were in the Army National Guard and didn’t want anything to do with us as we had to learn on our own had to take care of ourselves. It was bad enough I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 2. Even though I was the youngest of three my Brother and Sister weren’t supporting me either in fact I taught my older Sister how to fly a Kite and she always came to me when she angered my Brother that I was always in the middle of their sibling rivalry. My Sister also always came to me because she was afraid of Spiders. I also had a Half Brother that was very abusive towards me and even though I told the Teacher what he did to me he wasn’t arrested for that but he was arrested for molesting his Girlfriend’s Daughter. When Dad divorced Mom even though Mom and Dad had more time for us they still didn’t act like Parents and it was confusing me why Dad wanted us to visit every other Weekend when he wasn’t interested in being our Father and was laid off of work because he injured his back. His Shed was robbed someone stole his Army Uniforms and stole his car. The Neighborhood was so dangerous my Sister slept next to me every night because she was too afraid to sleep in her own bedroom. When my Dad finally found the perfect Girlfriend for him I started to liked going to Barbara’s especial when her Daughter is a gamer and now has three kids. My Brother was in the Army and my Sister is still in the Air Force. I moved to another State to be closer to my Brother who has three Daughters and a Son. Surprisingly my Mom and Dad are very good Grandparents to my Nieces and Nephew. My Brother told me a couple years ago that our Half Brother was Murdered in a Hotel shot with a Shotgun. Surprisingly the Half Brother’s Mother believes his Wife killed him.
@kimtrospect how did you surrender your pain to God. I grew up in a very broken family. My parents separated when I was 10. My mom left my dad to pursue becoming a lesbian. She threatened to disown me the very night they separated if I didn’t approve. And my dad growing up had a lot of anger issues. He yelled a lot and whether it was intentional or not it left a lot of psychological trauma that I still struggle to overcome today. Despite being a Christian for 6 years I find myself trucking quite a bit being okay with my testimony and overcoming my past. What helped you to surrender it to God and not keep taking it back!!??
I’m sorry to hear this. 😔 Surrendering to the Lord is a DAILY decision that you make. When it comes to pain and trauma, they definitely do not go away overnight, but you can choose how you’ll process them- either you lean deeper into Jesus or just keep looking back. Sure you can look back and keep hurting, but obviously it’s not beneficial, and it may be keeping you from living out God’s unique purpose for your life. Keep (it’s a continuous push forward) devoting yourself to the Lord and focusing on building your relationship with Him. Release your burdens to Christ and cling on to the hope that He gives. Forgive just as He forgave you. And don’t look back; look heavenward. Fix your eyes on Jesus. Remember that He is faithful and ever with you. God bless!
