  1. What a good son you are. I feel that you genuinely care for your father but I strongly believe that at this point it is best to say no to your dad. You might feel guilty at first but it is what is best for all of you and he is at risk of accidents given his condition. I suggest that you explain carefully to your dad why you need to decline his request to drive a car or SUV, who know's maybe he'll understand.
  2. You have every right to feel upset about this, I would too. I think you need to raise the issue.
  3. So sad to hear what happened to your marriage. I'm pretty sure you feel bad right now and hurt too. At this moment it would help to pray and ask for clarity. I know you want to save your marriage but if you come to think of it, if it's only you who like to do it then you'll likely fail in the end. It takes two to tango especially in a relationship. I think it's best that you focus on yourself and your kids and let him realize things on his own. If he truly loves you he will come back if not then he just lost a loving wife. Maybe right now he needs space and time, give him that.
  4. Keep your composure all the time if you can and do not lose your cool. Handling people with different personality can be daunting but if you gain everybody's respect you'll find your job easier to do in the long run.
  5. This is a good advice, I remember my mom saying "If he's the one he'll be the one no matter what".
  6. It could be familiarity with a little infatuation involved. You should ask yourself why you feel that way?do you want to never be apart from him because you need him as a friend or is there something else that you feel? Also, maybe you need to ask him if he feels the same way.
  7. hmm I felt this too after 4 years of being married, It's pretty normal I guess, what you can do is spice thing up by asking him to go on a date with you or travel somewhere without the kids in tow. (if you have kids)
  8. I'm pretty sure the host wouldn't mind if you skip dinner. It's just a matter of how you explain the reason why you can't come. Also, you can make up for it by going next time or inviting them to your home for a change.
  9. Hi, Just wanted to share an excerpt from jw.org "What if feelings of unworthiness make us think that our prayers are not being heard?" Depression may cause us to conclude that our attempts to please God are not adequate. However, our heavenly Father is sensitive to our fragile emotions, “remembering that we are dust.” (Psalm 103:14) Even if “our hearts may condemn us,” we can “persuade our hearts” that “God is greater than our hearts and knows all things.” (1 John 3:19, 20, footnote) Therefore, you can use expressions in your prayers that you glean from such Bible passages as Psalm 9:9, 10; 10:12, 14, 17; and 25:17. Hope this somehow helps. :D
  10. Hello everyone, When questioned "Does the Bible help me when I'm depressed?" - Yes, because the best help comes from “God, Who comforts and encourages and refreshes and cheers the depressed.”—2 Corinthians 7:6
  11. Hello It is really nice to know how supportive this group is in sharing and in giving encouragement for the depressed.
