Family's reply history at Help.com

Hi Nikki,

I just saw your posting (new member)…
and wanted to say I CARE! I won’t advise you as to what to do. Perhaps I can offer a few kind words, though…
Our family is REALLY stretched financially. There is a lot of stress, too! What binds us together and helps us to endure the hard times is our faith. I can tell you that I know it is easy to get mad at our spouse or children and yell sometimes. It is usually difficult to swallow pride, and make amends afterward, but very rewarding…
Again, I don’t know your exact set of circumstances, but I do care, and would like to pray for you and your family. Best wishes, Nikki…

Hi Kerri,

I am truly sorry to read of your unfortunate circumstances. Please believe me when I say I can not only sympathise, but also empathise. I notice that my response is a couple month later than the ones I have read. (Sorry you had to put up with those who want to lecture. I know that is not what you need!) I am praying for you, and hope things are getting better. I also agree that marriage is not something a person just throws away during difficult times. Challenges, I believe, happen for a reason. They certainly humble us, but can help us to grow and become more like the people we should be. I’m sorry that all I have to offer is encouragement. May blessings abound for you and your family…
