Frustrations at home

[perpetua2017]

I live with my brother , our father and mother. I have to leave with them because I don’t make enough money to live on my own. My brother has been taking out his frustrations out on us verbally. I told him the truth about what happened to my money that it’s gone due to some financial burdens and he was so upset and calling me names. When he tells me things and puts me down I start to cry. He will yell at me and say stop crying and felling sorry for yourself. He tells me im narcisstic, shelfish and stop making excuses for the reason why you are in this situation. If I can finally live on my own, I get a better paying job. I feel that his frustrations and our problems will not go away. Is this they way when you are living with a person who isn’t really religious and doesn’t pay to God. I need advice to try to deal with my problems. Thank you.

Eternal God, in whom mercy is endless, and the treasury of compassion inexhaustible,
look kindly upon us, and increase your mercy in us,
that in difficult moments, we might not despair, nor become despondent,
but with great confidence, submit ourselves to your holy will,
Which is Love and Mercy itself.
Amen.

Why do your parents allow an abusive person to live in their home?

Please, get some family counseling. Start with a priest or deacon at your parish.

Thank you for the advice. I have contacted my aunt about our situation at home and she is going try to talk to her priest to help us. She believes that my brother needs some spiritual help and he needs to stop listening to outside interferences that are influencing him in a negative way. He was never like this before. I know God will guide us in the right direction of peace and understanding. God Bless You.
