Christmas is always unhappy at our house. I know this is a difficult time for so many, and rest assured, I am praying for you all. Christmas is ALWAYS a struggle for our family. We are broke, we end up fighting over whose family to see the most. My husband is not an easy man to live with, and I am trying to stay in a good mood, but he is off this week and is complaining about how I do housework, how we are broke, etc., and it makes me a nervous wreck when he is this way. Also, our daughter has given birth to her 3rd child and they are estranged from us. They are communicating better but won't let us spend time with the kids, and our infant granddaughter was diagnosed with Hirschtung disease; so our daughter is even more particular about letting her be around anyone including us. We are heartbroken we can't see our newborn granddaughter like we want to. It seems no matter where we turn -- things are going wrong.

Lord I am asking you please to take a visit to this household.Everything seems to be falling apart Breatheon them Lord and let salvation a ide with the husband for he is the head.Change God the better. THINGS ARE OUT OF CONTROl Send help.Amen.

My dear sister in Christ, u r not alone in the way ur feeling. I feel like that this year as I was in an abusive marriage over 20 years yeah once I got a restraining order and left this man things seemed wonderful for a while and I found such a beautiful Church and I do have a very supportive and loving Church community and pastor. But 2 years ago I was in an accident I was run over by a van and everyone thought I would get a huge financial settlement which I did not and since then I'm always in a lot of pain and I'm not able to work enough hours and moved in with a gentleman friend of mine who I met at church but turns out to have a terrible addiction and he passed away a year ago he left me his home in his will but no one could find his will so it left me with no where to live I praise the Lord that a friend of mine took me in yeah I never have enough money to pay for where I am living and I pray everyday that the Lord keeps a roof over my head as he has been doing although the house I am living in has many problems also and one of my sons started to go to therapy he is 34 years old and he has three of my grandchildren he has my first-born grandson who I watched everyday the first couple years of his life as I was on unemployment and we became very close and I haven't seen these children since May and my son won't even talk to me and I will have no Christmas with them my heart is broken yeah I tell you all this because although it seems like I am at the very pit of my life the Lord shows me every day that he is here right beside me and that gives me the faith and Hope the his supernatural favor will return my son and grandchildren to me and also then I will get a huge financial blessing he answers my prayers and I praise and thank him everyday even when I'm feeling so blue because he always finds a way to bring some joy in my life I praise the Lord because my youngest son who I had with the abusive husband has invited me to cook at his house for Christmas Eve and although I don't have much money I know there still another day for him to allow something to happen as he always does in the name of Jesus and I know that he will bring my son Christopher who has salvation I am online even on this site right now because I am anxious about not hearing the alarm and getting up early enough to go shopping with my son Vincent who's the house that I have to cook it and I have to do the shopping for yet and I I'm now posting this prayer that the Lord's unmerited favor helps me to have the best Christmas ever and to help all of us out there brothers and sisters for our lives to change for the best that they can for this new year and we can minister to others who feel that they are at the pit of their lives we can be living proof that the Lord answers prayer through the blood of Jesus and we can share this with others and bring them to their salvation Jesus mighty name I know this will happen for you my sister I'm praying now that the Lord strengthens your faith and the Holy Spirit rises up inside of you to give you the joy you need and to bring your daughter back to you with your grandchildren in Jesus name

I am so sorry. I will pray for you. Hopefully your daughter will see her family loves her and your husband will receive calmness in his heart.

Find peace in Christ all those who come to him shall not suffer, I know a little bit about an unhappy home at Christmas and at other times during difficult years, its a hard path to walk but the Lord has you on this path for a reason and whether it is to witness to others or to be a teacher for those who have it all but do not have Christ in their hearts, Pray for your husband that he finds some quiet in his soul, reassure him that he is a great provider and a good Christian man. Dear Lord I pray for this family, show them your loving heart and ways, comfort them in times of stress and difficulty bring them the happiness and good health that only you can provide I ask this in Jesus name Amen

UPDATE: Thank you all for your sweet prayers and support. Unfortunately, Satan had his way and my Christmas Day was a disaster because of my own emotions. You know the situation with my daughter (see above). She is very close to my brother and sister-in-law -- she thinks more of them than she does me. It is obvious. I have felt intimidated and paranoid by their closeness.
So on Christmas night, I got upset after my daughter took took my grandson out of my arms in a harsh way when he fell and started crying. It had been a very long day and I was tired and I was thinking, "I am so tired of going through this," and I started crying -- tI tried to keep it in but I could not -- that's me when I cry it's like serious waterworks. I looked over at my 11-year-old niece, and she was covering her mouth and was looking at me laughing and walking toward her sister like she was going to tell her. I was shocked to see her do this, but I have seen her older sister snicker at our situation before -- I guess kids will be kids.

So I approached her calmly and tactfully about it and asked her, "Were you laughing at me when I got upset?"
She took it wrong and got upset. She told her parents I went off on her, which her parents became furious with me. I went and apologized and hugged my niece several times and told her I was hurting. Since my oldest daughter thinks so much of them, in her eyes, I know I blew it. I know she is now disappointed in me again. She doesn't like it when I get "crybaby" like that. I have been seeing a therapist trying to help myself with it, but this estrangement really hurts. When we left, all the way home, my mom and husband berated me the whole way home. My husband is angry with me because he says we are back to square one with our daughter. Today my brother called and blessed me out and told me to keep his kids out of it and that I needed help. I just graciously took in his words and said, "Okay." But my life has now fallen apart again. Please pray for me, I now am so depressed I cannot function and I'm sleeping alot.
