Am I forsaken? why my life is like this?

There are others who are living a life worst than yours. Children who are abandoned by their parents and living on the streets. Differently-abled people who have only themselves and no one to care for them. Elderly people who were abandoned by their own children. People begging on the streets. etc. Just think of them. You know you also tolerated your married brother and keep on helping him. How about if you stop supporting your brother and his family? I know they will call you bad and such other names but don't listen, if no one is helping them I am sure that he will start to look for work. As long as you are there he will remain lazy because he knows that someone is present to support them. And please if there are birthdays don't celebrate it anymore and buy food and stuffs for celebrations even if it's for your nieces/nephews, I know most filipinos still celebrate and cook/buy "handa" even if the cash on hand is just enough for needs and others even go into credit for celebrations. If you're among them then stop this to cut cost.

I know how frustrating life can be, but think about this. If you are able to live it today, you can be a much better person in the future. These trials you are experiencing are just part of anyone's life. Just continue to ask for God's guidance and ask for strength to face all of these. With your problem regarding your brother's kids, I think you ought to teach him how to make himself productive so that he can support his kids. You also have your own life to live. It is not that you love them less. But I think each one has a responsibility that needs to take.

Everything has a reason. If you're experiencing all these things now, there would be any difference to your situation if you believe that everything will fall right into its place somehow. Try to think of it this way: why did God gave you all these problems? It's because He knows that you can surpass all of these, even on your own. In time you'll be able to get out of your predicament, just compose yourself and face these problems one by one. If you can't solve the problem directly with your family, start dealing with your job. Is there any way that you can possibly get out of that line of work if you're not happy with it anymore? Don't conclude yet that you have no future, you're still young, I'm sure that there are other things in store for you. With your husband, have you already sorted out the problem? Is he not working, too? What about your other siblings?

I understand your predicament. You live in the same country where I am and the culture we grew up demands that children support their parents. But you should also make your kins know there are limits to what your body can do. Your lazy brother should be told to change his ways and start looking for a job and means to support himself and his family, since even in our culture we dont support and become sucker to deadbeats. Your husband doesnt deserve any respect either. The best thing you can do is to move on. File an annulment and dont worry anymore about his infidelities. You may even find a new person that will love you and be loyal to you. You are not alone with the misery encountered in workplace. But you should also consider that there are people who have hardship even in finding a job so you are still in much better shape. You can try talking to your supervisor about your concerns, but if it is really that hopeless then start looking for a new job. I wish you the best.

I would like to give you the JOB ORDER to read the Book of Job (Sorry if that's not even remotely funny), but first, are you a Bible reader at all? Do read the Gospel of John, and try to get to a church where the Bible is the only authority, as clarified by the historical creeds (I'd hate you to land up in a group that says it believes the Bible, but twists it to remove all genuine hope of salvation, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, Unitarians, etc). Any religious quest that doesn't take the Bible as the authority or lifts another authority, like that of tradition or the Pope, to the same level, is a waste of time. But reading time for you is probably at a premium anyway. Every blessing.

You're doomed. Repent.

No. Each of us have our own crosses to carry. I also have my own but I just accept them as part of life. These crosses make us tougher and at your age, you are learning to become a better person because of these experiences. Hold on to life, look at the brighter side of things, you should be thankful you are not in the shoes of your brother who you say is lazy. You will see the brighter side of life one of these days, you will see.

Hi magz! I know how you feel right now. Although we may experience some difficulties in life, it is not enough that we think that we are hopeless and without future. Most of us have problems of our own and we are doing our best in order to solve these problems. I know that if we ask guidance from the Lord, all our problems will be solved. It's okay if you want to express what you feel until such time that you feel okay already. We are always here for you. I hope you enjoy your stay here with myLot for a long time. You will learn a lot of things from here that I'm sure will help you as you go along you daily battle in life. Have a nice day!

I can see where your coming from and I feel so sad about things that you are having right now. Though I really admire people working hard for their family sacrificing their own future and innocence. I hope things will be better for you and I hope life will be good to people that do good to others. Just be patient and you will be rewarded. Thanks.

I feel so sorry for you, your burden would be heavy for a much older person to bear and you are so young. The only way to sort out any of the problems is to attack them one at a time. You need to explain fully to your parents the problems you have and to ask them to speak in the strongest terms to your brother. They cannot expect you to support them and him and his family too and they are responsible for the decision to allow him to live with them. You have a responsibility to yourself and only you can do something about your husband. If he is cheating on you he is putting your health at risk both physically and mentally. He needs to be told to stop. As long as you are content to be a victim you will remain one, so give him an ultimatum and stick to it. As everyone depends upon you then you are in a strong position. Your parents need you, so they may take action to lessen the load by removing your brother. Do they love him more than you? If not they will listen to you, if they love him most then you know where you stand and can take action without your heart interfering with your decisions.

Hi there! Firstly i want to tell you that you have a future. Not only that your future is laid with good plans and they are meant to prosper you. Now don't get me wrong.Prosper doesn't just mean financially but most importantly your physical being. (Spirit mind and soul) Since you are asking WHY? I will ask you another question. WHAT'S NEXT? Trust me when i say many more people are going trough tougher times than you do now. They have no food, clothing, crippled, broke etc. But i still say to them circumstances doesn't just happen and the outcome of those circumstances are always negative. So what's next? I want to encourage you to go to a church. I hope you find one because there are many people there who can help you. Why? I believe you will find people who are going through similar situations you are going through now. Tap on their advice and ask how they overcome. i;m not asking you to go church and seek God first, it would be ideal if you can do that, but seek help from people first and hopefully you will see the goodness and love of God in their circumstances and most importantly how they overcome triumphantly. hehe.

magz i think you need to learn to love your self first. you know i am a bread winner myself before i use to keep my job together with my sideline just to provide money to my family. i am helping my grand mother financially i also have a family myself i have two kids 4 and 3 years old and my husband he has work but our salary is not enough to support my own family and my grandmother but im doing the best that i can to provide everything until i had enough i realized that im not happy with whats happening i learn how to speak what i feel because before they are manipulating me telling me what to do how much they need but after i open up to them let them know how i really feel what i really want they have learn to adjust and now everything is much better. and also keep your faith in god.
