I'm in a difficult situation. My husband and I had recently born a child and we have not securely work out our family needs and my sister inlaw n husband also have recently moved in our household too. My husband and I are not working well as a team with this new baby and he is always DEPENDING on me to do everything. At times, I feel like dropping everything and leave this place I call home. My sister inlaw and husband both work and doesn't help us around the house such as cleaning up, maintaining the house, and food. I feel as if they leech off of us instead of help us. Also, with them in the house we tend to argue more about them, the baby, and financial issues. We are new to this parenting thing and with them in the house it's hard to settle our family issues and to work on our new family when we are always constantly arguing about them. I wish they can move out so we can focus on our family and build good principals. I try to be as patient with them but at times, I feel they disrespect my household and no matter how much I tell them how I feel, they are just so hardheaded and have such a strong hold in their own ways. My husband is the only one working while I take care of the baby. Right now we are having difficulties of loving each other. I love him but it's so hard for him to speak my love language when he's so involve in his life, as if he still wants to live single and that, he can't put that life behind him. He constantly thinks about himself and never include me in activities while I'm shut out. I feel like as if I can no longer define myself anymore and not longer know what are my passion besides being a mother. I don't have any time to myself to discover who I am and what I could be when my husband is always depending on me to take care of the baby. -He doesn't understand that the process of one day of is not gonna help me find my true passion. -but it will take me time. I'm hurt for many reason and my household is broken and I'm sure everyone who lives in it had it's part in trashing up the place. I have too many things on my plate and need more of what is healthy instead of satisfying to the eye. -My inlaws doesn't respect me and the other day we got to a small argument, along with my husband. I can't stand it anymore and this isn't the first time situation pop up like this. I'm worn down and my heart is beat with little motivation left in it. My mind tells me not to quit but my spirit just don't wanna put up for the battle nemore.
 
Psalm 59:16

But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.....I am praying with you.
 
In Jesus name I pray that this new mother is comforted and recieves all she needs from family and friends to help her through this difficult time. Protect her from all evil and keep her in Your favor- Amen.
