CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

I don't mean to hog this forum or anything with my selfish requests....

my parents are seperating. They decided one week before my little brother's 13th birthday. My sense of self worth, or at least what little of it I had left, has gone down the drain. I need help...I really do. My entire family does.

Edit: mods/admins - please don't hesitate to lock or delete this if you deem it necessary.

They're probably seperating because their relationship isn't working out and it wouldn't be the best thing for them to stay together. Sometimes seperating can be the best thing parents can do for their children. Think of it that way. They're seperating because they believe it's the right thing to do.

Don't blame yourself for their seperation. That's probably the worst thing you can do. It's not your fault that they're seperating. They're just doing what will make them happy. I'll pray for you and your family so that everything will go smoothly and to God's will.

thanks. ._. I'm trying not to blame myself, but it's difficult.

Oh, Kokoro, I’m so sorry. *hugs* I know it’s really hard, but I’ll do what I can if you let me know. Until then, I’ll just be praying real hard for you. Also, remember that you are greatly loved: by God, by your family, and by all of us here. You’re far from worthless; I love seeing you around here, I consider you a close friend, and you have a way of always making me smile with your crazy Bishie Thread posts. Feel free to pm me or anything whenever, and just know that you’re cared for and prayed for.

Oh, Kokoro. I'm so sorry.

We love you and we'll all be praying for you.

It's a terrible thing to hear, Kokoro. *hugs* I will probably never understand how you truly feel but I know God does and I'll be praying for you and your family.

Your requests are important and it's our honor to support you in any way we can. Please, don't ever make yourself feel uncomfortable in this section of CAA. This section is meant for such things, OK? ^__^ Stay faithful and trust God with this matter.

*hugs* I'm sorry to hear that, Kokoro. I will be praying for you and your family...If you want to talk more about it..pm me..ok?

*hugs everyone* >.< Thank-you so much....

I guess I'm not handling things as well as I thought I could. I'm crying a lot. I'm scared of answering questions my parents ask me, for fear of upsetting someone. I'm scared of talking to my brother for fear of upsetting him. I can't help but beat myself up over this. I know God is here with me, and I know He let this happen for a reason, but right now I feel like that can't make it stop hurting.

whatever happed between your parents is not your fault. The fate of their relationship is, was, and always will be up to up to them and the role God plays in it. I don't think that their is anything a kid can do to makes parents divorce. You have so much more worth than you know. You make a diference to those around you by simply being you. You love by many people, as well as God and you brighten peoples lives through who you are. You can try to influence people, but their are times when people don't want to listen, or can't or won't see things your way. People make their own choices. We are all human and none of us are perfect but we do try. Don't feel that you are worth any less because of the choices others make.

It's hard to not only see something like that happen, but to have to do things that might upset parents, but when you do answer the questions that you have to, remember you didn't choose this. It will be better in the long run for them as well as for you if you just tell them the truth and try to do so with love and remind them both that you love them. Divorces are upsetting. That can't be helped, but I will pray also that it is as amicable divorce as possible.

If you don't want to upset your brother by talking to him about it, do you have another friend you can talk to?

James 1:2-3

"2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance"

dont let thigns down. Trust God! Ill pray for ya ^^

My prayers are with you, Kokoro. *hugs*

My parents have been separated before, and they worked through it. Our family stuck together, and it's still together.
I believe that God can fix your family too. If it is His will, God can do anything. He never fails.
God is with you. Don't give in to all the lies that Satan will fill your ear with.
We're praying for you and we love you! *more hugs*

And please don't feel bad for posting this thread. It's okay to need prayer.
God loves it when you ask. And the more people praying, the better, right?
I mean, we all have alot of problems in our life. Be proud that you're the one who's going to God with them! ^___^

I'll pray.
