Have you ever considered going to church. I know a lot of people look down on church. But if you were to find a good Bible based church and attend regularly with your family I believe you would see a big change in attitudes and relationships. Jesus saves everyone and everything.  I will pray for you and your family. God Bless!!

Go back to your own country and ask them. Stop taking stuff from our children. I am not trying to be shitty. But just go home and come back here legally.

Get sponsers from your church that god has led you to get help from along with family. Don't worry if it's god's will he will make a way. Just pray and it should be okay sounds corny but hopely that helps.

I am sorry to say but i agree with him. You got yourself in a family relationship. Our kids come 1st and we always travel with them. Try to comprmise and bring a sitter so you guys can go off and do stuff on your own

i would try to reconcile but under your conditions. if you dont want to go to family get togethers and such then dont. explain that too them, if they cant accept it then at least you tried.

Well I am very sorry too here about all that. The best thing you can do is try too get your Uncle alone and tell him sistiuation and hope he listens to you. One other thing you can do is pray for the whole family God allways listens to you. I hope everything works out May God Bless You And Your Family.

Ignore them. Your family is more important.

Get a pet!  And even when your kids move out that doesn't mean you can't still talk on the phone or visit.  Keep in touch with the kids and get a dog or cat (or both)!  Also, this is a chance to spend some alone time with your spouse and get to know him again (assuming there is a spouse)

Keep talking to your brother,he seems to be the only person in your family acting like a grown-up!You are entitled to your beliefs and he is your brother,losing him would be like losing an arm,so keepthe lines of communication open and hopefully your parents and sister will come round,good luck,stay strong.

Whatever it was that made them disown you will surely dim as time passes. Give them time to cool off, do a lot of growing up yourself then you make the grand gesture yourself. It may take years, and pride will surely get in the way (on your part or theirs) but in the end having family means everything. Once you grow up and change your ways (if that is it) they will surely see the light.

hi there... i suggest you talk to them. have an open discussion about your problem. its ok because they are only your family members. if you dont talk to them, then who else will you talk to in order to solve your problem... so talk to them, be very open and frank and i'm sure things will get solved. all the best.

Pray, ask friends and family to pray. Well I just mentioned some stuff to my sister in law and she and another friend did this for us.  My sister in law and a good friend of mine and others have put us on a prayer list at Churches. No one can help us with some things right now. \n\nDon't give up. Do the best you can. The rest is not up to us.

first go and do something that you would really enjoy..   then you could find a needy family that is really trying to make it(parents work etc...)  but just can not seem to get ahead and help them out with the utilities, medical, food, or basic living expenses.  you do not necessarily have to give them the money you could pay for or buy the things that they need.

Get a lawyer,free the family, and turn yourself in.Give any weapons that you may have to your lawyer first and let her/him handle the media.

I think the best thing to do is start small, they dont like change. Start in one area, go through the items, divide into sections, one to keep, one to give to family, one to donate and garbage. Move slowly and they will adapt as you move from room to room.

1st thing:  Breathe!  You'll get through this & have some great memories in a few years.\n\nNext, don't be embarressed for your in-laws.  It's not YOUR fault they are the way they are.  Your parents/family KNOW this. \n\nRegarding the kids, plan on doing a children's table.  2 reasons:  keep them seperate from the adults so you can have "grown up conversations" and you can use that same table for activities such as puzzles, games, crafts, etc. \n\nFor the menu:  Tell them that you had planned on traditional Thanksgiving dinner.  If they would like to make & bring barbeque, that would be great!  Then both families can share what they consider traditional.\n\nHave fun!  Remember this won't be the only time the families get together.  Make the best of it!
