Beloved of All
Since me and my brother were little, we have witnessed our father being verbally and physically abusive toward our mom. He has on countless occasions, physically hurt her which has led to physical and mental trauma to my mom. He is even verbally abusive toward my grandparents. We also have a pet dog and sometimes when he misbehaves, my dad wants to hit him but I protect my dog from him. Because of his horrible behaviour me and my brother don’t have a normal relationship with him. Over the years, in spite of our family praying for his heart to change, he has still not changed his ways. He personally has no relationship with Jesus and never goes to church. Instead, he looks down upon the church. He paints a good picture of himself in front of others so they don’t know his true nature. My mom pays for all the expenses and also for me and my brother’s university fees. My dad has never offered to pay for anything which really makes things difficult for my mom. As I’ve grown older now, I advised my mom to separate with him. But she is scared that he will try to kill her if she leaves him. We just can’t bear it anymore because always living in constant fear around him is really mentally draining and stressful. We can never truly live freely around him. I always ask God to remove him from our lives because it is clear that my dad doesn’t want to give his life to Jesus and change his behaviour. We will honestly be better off without him. Please pray for us. We really need prayers for this difficult situation.
