Well, it's not just him, it's everyone here.
I posted on FB that I was **** off (mods, if you're tired of me using that, I'm sorry) and didn't want to talk about it. She commented saying there are other ways to express other then using that word and if you don't want to talk about it, why bother posting it? This welled up in me once again. Agree or disagree, if she was the Christian she claims to be, she could've said "I still love and care for you. You can talk to me about it when you want. Your in my prayers." This would've smothered any flames in me. but this didn't happen. This isn't the first time she's ticked me off.
So far, I've only had 1 time of conflict with my older stepsister. She was going political on me when I just earned some cash for helping my dad clear out some brush and needed some body soap. She works at Bath & Body and figured I could save money by using her employee discount. Well, even though the huge SUV I've been driving around for job applications and sometimes interviews guzzling up gas, I can't go in smelling like garbage or girly flowers. My stepmom took her side but dad made everyone understand and that was that.
My stepmom is sometimes still rude to me and makes accusations against me when I didn't mean to offend her in any way. Now I know I'm in trouble when this happens because she doesn't come to me, she goes straight to dad. And they have been happily married for a long time now (can't remember how many years) and they trust everything the other says. This puts me in a bad spot.
My father is the head of the house and doesn't let anyone forget that. He is a loving father but there are times when his temper flares up. Thank God it's far less then usual. His health is declining fast and when I make suggestions to help him, he says "It just happens, don't bother." Well, that's paraphrasing it but he just spent upwards of $2000 to get me here and just cutting and moving brush doesn't give me the same feelings as helping others with their emotions, spirit, and/or health. Anyways, there are times when I do things, he makes me feel like an idiot.
Sometimes, my father doesn't even need to solve the conflict, they can come to me.
I have played the role of peacemaker here on CAA with some undisclosed members as well as at work back in Oklahoma. Now I just feel pathetic that I can't solve my own issues even though I don't have many problems helping others. As you know, my aim is Huntsville, AL but I don't want to leave here on a bad note nor do I feel confident in confronting them about it.
Psalms 82:3-4
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
