Hi everyone.

I’m new to the forum and decided to join because I have a lot of questions about my faith that I hope some people might answer. Anyways… Can anyone here pray for my family?

Just yesterday me and my dad got into a heated argument. I was trying to be reasonable person and talk things out, but he does nothing but use curse words. My mom and sister were holding him back because he was trying to have a fist fight with me. As a result he started Hitting my mother and pushed my sister, who was carrying my baby cousin, very hard. I really didn’t know what do in this scenario. I try to talk and have a respectful conversation to calm him down but it’s so hard because like a child all he does is curse and Won’t let me finish my sentence. When he hit my mom again i hit him in the face and he got angry and said " why did you hit me!?" I told him that I only hit him because I was trying to protect my mother. I myself started to be Mad because he denied hitting my mother and sister! I know my dad is a total hypocrite and he contracted himself before, but this was just disgraceful! He continued cussing and not letting me finished my sentence’s for a couple more minutes and left the house. If any of you watched the movie the Godfather, my dad is best described as the character Sonny. Sonny doesn’t reason or have a respectful conversation with anyone. All he does is resort to violence.

He just came back home and I told my dad sorry for arguing, but he didn’t forgive me and he said he’s leaving this Fckin house ( I know this is a bluff)

What I ask of you people reading this is to please
Pray for my Dad. I feel my dad is losing his faith ever since he started watching all those shows on history channel and science channel. He even mocks my uncle who is a born again christian behind his back. Please pray that my Dad can be a true believer In God again and please pray that he changes his disgraceful way of handling things, especially talking ( he curses in every sentence). Please pray that everyone in my family especially me can find peace and happiness. GOD BLESS!

And if anyone is wondering why me and my dad started arguing it was because I got mad over an online video game and he told me to shutup so I told him to please mind his own Bussiness… I know right. -___-
 
Lord God, I pray that You bless this family with the graces they need so that they may communicate with each other in genuine love and respect for one another. I ask that You touch the heart of Costner’s dad so that he may forgive his son who has apologized for disrespecting him and arguing with him. May he realize that the language he uses when he converses with his family changes such that he no longer curses. I pray that he turns to You and believes.

I pray that Costner’s mom, sister, and baby cousin are alright and not injured because of this. Please ease the pain, hurt and disappointment that the members of the family may be feeling…

And Lord God, I lift up to Your loving mercy and compassion, Costner who is seeking peace and happiness for himself and his family.

All these I ask in the name of Jesus, through the intercession of Mother Mary and St. Joseph. AMEN.

Thank you so much! Such nice people on this Site!
 
I understand. Never fear. Place your self under the mantle of Our Lady and all will be well. Trust in GOD!!
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Thank you for defending your mother.

In the future, please understand that when your father enters this angry state, it is pointless to try to calmly argue or state your position. It’s better to just leave and wait until he is calm again.

You owe your father respect, but he is human and subject to error. You are right to request prayers for him and your family and I will certainly pray for you. You nor your family need to put up with abuse. If he hits again, call the police. Make it clear you will not tolerate that behavior.

Here is what St John Marie Baptiste Vianney says about anger. Today is his feast day so pray for his intercession.
Catechism on Anger – St John Vianney
Anger is an emotion of the soul, which leads us violently to repel whatever hurts or displeases us.
THIS EMOTION, my children, comes from the devil: it shows that we are in his hands; that he is the master of our heart; that he holds all the strings of it, and makes us dance as he pleases. See, a person who puts himself in a passion is like a puppet; he knows neither what he says, nor what he does; the devil guides him entirely. He strikes right and left; his hair stands up like the bristles of a hedgehog; his eyes start out of his head—he is a scorpion, a furious lion. … .Why do we, my children, put ourselves into such a state? Is it not pitiable? It is, mind, because we do not love the good God. Our heart is given up to the demon of pride, who is angry when he thinks himself despised; to the demon of avarice, who is irritated when he suffers any loss; to the demon of luxury, who is indignant when his pleasures are interfered with. . . .
How unhappy we are, my children, thus to be the sport of demons? They do whatever they please with us; they suggest to us evil-speaking, calumny, hatred, vengeance: they even drive us so far as to put our neighbor to death, See, Cain killed his brother Abel out of jealousy; Saul wished to take away the life of David; Theodosius caused the massacre of the inhabitants of Thessalonica, to revenge a personal affront. … .If we do not put our neighbor to death, we are angry with him, we curse him, we give him to the devil, we wish for his death, we wish for our own. In our fury, we blaspheme the holy Name of God. we accuse His Providence. … -What fury, what impiety! And what is still more deplorable, my children, we are carried to these excesses for a trifle, for a word, for the least injustice! Where is our faith! Where is our reason? We say in excuse that it is anger that makes us swear; but one sin cannot excuse another sin. The good God equally condemns anger, and the excesses that are its consequences. … How we sadden our guardian angel! He is always there at our side to send us good thoughts, and he sees us do nothing but evil. … .If we did like St. Remigius, we should never be angry. See, this saint, being questioned by a Father of the desert how he managed to be always in an even temper, replied, “I often consider that my guardian angel is always by my side, who assists me in all my needs, who tells me what I ought to do and what I ought to say, and who writes down, after each of my actions, the way in which I have done it.”

Peace,

God bless you for your loving desire to protect your mother and your sister, and to pray for your Dad. Any questions you have, Costner…you will find others (and myself) happy to answer.

Our God please protect this family from harm, and help them to communicate with respect and compassion.
Please help Costner’s stressed and unhappy father to find more peaceful ways of dealing with his emotions and reactions,
and please help his son not to model himself on anger, disrespect or violence that he may experience anywhere.
Please help him determine to be, and receive the grace to be, the kind of man, of future father and husband, that he would like to be, a true Catholic gentleman.
Help him to recognize danger signs of outbursts in conversation and interactions with others, and find ways to defuse and deflect any problems from escalating.

May God bless you and help you to fulful the potential of all that God created you to be.
 
If your dad was hitting your mom or anyone else purposely, I would try to do what you did in protecting her, but that might not stop things from getting even more out of hand. The best thing might be to get the police involved instead, and I think that may be the best solution, as family abuse is not something to be kept hidden from the outside world.

So please don’t hesitate to call the cops before it even gets to a point where someone is throwing punches.

With that said, God bless you, and please don’t hesitate to talk to someone in real life whom you trust about what you’re going through as well, preferably an adult whom you know cares about your well-being (like a teacher, counselor, or someone comparable). You’ve been through something traumatic, so be kind to yourself, and continue to remember people are praying for you.
