dont listen to those thoughts

thats the devil

the doubts and fears and consequences, etc

Thank you, bro in Christ

Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Tho satan is my daddy currently, I hope Jesus will be my dad soon.

@Adderall Admiral52 I was raised with a single mother, that sounds like how I was when I was young lol

@Szayel's Pooppion My mother was largely absent for the latter part of my childhood. She worked out of state, and worked a lot. I was raised mostly by my dad, and he tried his best (and still does) but wasn't perfect. I acted terribly irresponsibly for several years lol.

Hm at the same time sounds better to be raised by a dad more than a mom

but either way, it's not the correct order of things, you need both

and unnatural for women to be working, but esp so much

I have no complaints whatsoever. I look back with mostly fond memories.

My old man put her through college, and then she got a few jobs working a bunch.

that's good that you don't. No matter what happens it's important we don't resent

The most that I ever do with my past is remember well the hardships

those things were meant to happen to me so I accept it

I don't think about the past too much. For the most part it has no bearing on the future, and even if it does it won't change anything. What's happened has happened.

I hadn't thought about it so much not long ago, but more recently I have been

for that reason actually, something that happened in my past did evidently have bearing on my future

But it's unchangeable. What has happened is done forever. I just don't worry about it. I'll deal with what comes as it comes.

I know it is, it's just hard to deal with when it does come back to haunt you

but that's why in a situation like that it feels worse, bc you know it's unchangeable

So for the most part, I agree about the past. But on the same token I learned that some things that happen may have lasting consequences that follow you, so coping with that can be different

I don't know your situation, and I can't speak on it, but I take solace knowing that everything I've done was done by me. Everything that's bad, while it sucks, is at least no one's fault but my own. I have no one to blame but myself for what happens, good or bad, and that's comforting, if that makes any sense.

i don't believe in blame

or that anything is anyones fault

That makes sense. What if it was something external that happened to you though?

special circumstances

There's still influence I have over the situation. I used to box, and really it's not about getting punched, but how you take the punch and punch back. I figure that's true for life as well.

Right, how you deal with it

In the end it's out of our control but esp in external situations

and internal

I view it as, if God didn't intervene, then he meant it to happen

😛
