Thank you for your advice!
I feel good to be free of resentment today.
It’s only through God that I am this way.
I have found that I can’t force people to be how I would like them to be.So I am just trying to get on my way.
I have tried several times to be friendly.
And have gotten no reaction.So I’m just going to get on with my life.If my neighbors decide they would like to be friendly or civil or whatever, I’ll be there.Until then, I guess I am just tired of beating my head against a brick wall.Thanks.

Hey Karen sorry if I gave you information that was inapropriate, the info was how we related. I didn’t write it spacifically for anyone but more as a point of interest that might have been helpful to some one.
I agree with you that we all are called to get on with our lives, and relatiing to my point it sometimes is satan that tries to disuade us or side track us from our own road. I guess we can hope to love and forgive others but it is up to themself wether they follow and wish to become friendly. Between God and us though if we have asked forgiveness and forgive others then that is the first point in God accepting us as we are, wouldn’t you think?
I think so any way!

I just thought of something, I have just married, and my wife has a 12 year old son who refuse to see me in any other way than how he feels and most of the time negatively yelling at me, shouling telling me he hates me, (does this seem similar) In prayer Jesus told me to give the reigns over to my wife to the point of she being the person to tell him how and what to do even in manners. She then told her son that in this way that I would be behind her and that my wife would not be bullied or put down by her son.

End product is that I feel much more t ease and my wife has much more power and the situation has changed since he now realises that mum has backing and that although I am generally silent one word (in love) meens exactly what mum says. In just one week this change has caused much peace in our family and I am more at ease not having to do much.

God bless

Hey friend…don’t you worry…I know you are trying to help and you are helping and I appreciate it.
I appreciate you caring enough to do so.
I sometimes find myself getting angry at my neighbors though I am not calling them up or confronting them in anyway.
I have just realized I need to pray the :resentment prayer".
It is a prayer I learned in AA years ago.
It is when you have resentment, you are supposed to pray for the person you are angry with.
You are supposed to pray for them that God give them everything you want God to give you.
I know it works.
I started doing it.
I need to keep doing it.
Like you pray that God meet their needs, fill them with peace and happiness and bless them.
Things like that.
And as far as the tough time you have been having with your 12 yrd old stepchild…you are not alone.
My son is 12 yrs old and I always say this is the tough year.
When my stepdaughter was 12 all we did was fight.
And I was not walking with God at all so I was very angry with her.
Now my son and I have problems.
He can be very sweet and he means everything to me.
But he can be sarcastic and rude just as easily.
All I can say is this will pass.
Hey my stepdaughter became a teenager and we had a much easier time together.
And my husband does back me up when it comes to my son.
So I hope things continue to go well with you and him.
PM me anytime.
It is a real pleasure talking with you!!!
