Hi brothers and sisters. I need help. I am being crushed by my family. I am a teen, and have been a Christian for about a year and a half now! I had friends who opened the door to Christ, and I quickly accepted Him and learned to grow in Him.
However, my abusive father was a militant atheist who frequently crushed my dreams to be Christian when I was younger. Thankfully I am no longer in contact with him, but still my family is unsupportive. My mother is emotionally absent, and my brother constantly attacks my faith. I have withstood it and grown closer to Jesus through it, but it is extremely tough, and very sad.
I recently started dating a sister in Christ, who has an amazing and loving family, the kind it has always been my dream to create one day. Seeing how much they care for and love one another has also burdened my heart when reflecting on my own family.
I know I need to trust God, and that I live in this situation for a reason. But I get bouts of depression sometimes from it, and I fear constantly whether or not I will be able to have a loving and amazing family of my own someday.
So what I need now is advice, and prayer. I would appreciate anything. I love you all.
