Okay. We can just agree to disagree about this. I need to get to work too! And anyway, it looks like on the social stuff we have a whole lot more in common. In Him!
Hey Syco, I've got a Christian question for you. I am having anger issues right now because my home life has been turned upside down because of a "houseguest that will not leave." The houseguest is buddy buddy with my roomate relative. We are all related. They like to drink, but they drink more when they are together and get obnoxious. I have been working three jobs (and am a sober person) and the houseguest does not work. She depends on others to provide her with food, lodging, beer and cigarrettes. My roomie has decided to take out his frustrations on me since she has been here. Last night I got home from work and it started again. I did nothing to provoke this. So I left and am in the houseguest quarters presently. Before she was here, we got along great, and were the best of friends. Now I have been thrown over for an alcoholic sponge and the bond seems broken now.
I have been very tolerant for the last 6 weeks. My tolerance has reached its end. I know what the bible says but am having a difficult time obeying the word. I cannot get the houseguest to leave, and she is infringing on my rights and being irresponsible with my pets. I know I made the right decision in packing up a week's (I don't know when she is leaving) worth of belongings and moving into the guest quarters. Should I continue the passive resistance or should I assert myself with my roomie? I am thoroughly ticked off, and hurt. What is the Christian way of dealing with this? Or should I take the atheist route?
