Q&A Home > F > Family Problems

When I do something wrong my mom says "God take her, you never listen to me" I just confessed on Sunday and I'm already causing trouble in the house. I really don't feel good about myself right now. I really want to change, but it's really hard especially for me.

I am sure your Mom loves you and does not really mean what she said. This is just a hasty reaction to the situation. I am sure that she cares about you and would be very sad if anything  happened to you, if you get sick or get hurt. Maybe you need to be more sensitive around your family. Examine yourself and find out why you are not feeling good about yourself and how to change your attitude to be more pleasant. Define the wrong things you need to change and make a plan how to defeat sin and not to fall in the same sin over and over. Pray to the Lord to guide you and ask your confessor father to give you some spiritual exercise that might help you. If you truthfully have the desire to change, it will not be hard for you to do so. Be assured also that there is nothing hard if we seek the Lord. "With God all things are possible" (Mt 19:26).
