Estranged from dad LC with mom- Advice?

Hello,

Currently low contact with my mom and no contact with my dad. I rely on my mom and grandfather for financial means and recently lost my job. I understand the first step I need is to have a job but after that how do I make sure that I am sustained after so that I never have to depend on them again. They were extremely abusive throughout my childhood and last year and i want to be fully no contact with them. Help?

Contacted my abusive dad for money

Hello,

I've been out of a job for the past two months and really needed help to pay bills. I tried holding faith in God to provide but He hasn't and I felt like I had no choice but to rely on the people that he delivered me from. i feel bad but relieved that I found help. Do you think that this upset God? I feel bad and disappointed in myself but at the same time I felt I had no other choice. Is this true faith in God if I made my own decision and did that? Does that affect my relationship with Him?

Handling lustful thoughts/fantasies

Heyy,

Lately I've been struggling to avoid lustful thoughts or fantasies/masturbation about people I know. I haven't watch any porn or read or listened to any sexual media but struggle with the thoughts, feelings and fantasies when I first wake up or late at night even when I am not on my phone. As a woman, how do I handle this?

Anyone experience something like this?

I remember having a conversation with my mother before cutting her off that scared me. Not in her words but the change in her behavior and eyes. I told her that "That things didn't have to be this way. We didn't have to argue and fight and that I only wanted to reconcile with her to better our relationship and so that we could both go before God and be healed". Her whole expression changed and it scared me alot. She got really quiet and kinda just stared at me with dark dead eyes and started crying saying she didn't know what I was talking about. I then felt this really strong feeling that shook me and made me immediately scared like I could feel she wanted to hurt me. Has anyone else had a strong feeling like this before?

[MI]- Mold Issues

Heyy,

I've been having mold issues over the last couple of months. At one point it was just in the corner of the ceiling but now it has spread since maintenance came and painted over the mold without cleaning it. They keep blaming me saying that I don't open the windows but I do and shower with the door open which doesn't help at all and only continues to spread. I believe that they painted over it with regular paint and the spores spread all over the ceiling. I have moderate asthma which is triggered by mold and pollen. Help? :'(

Hiraeth for God/Heaven?

Has anyone ever felt this deep longing of being homesick from God/Heaven, etc (something along those lines) that it creates deep sadness? I’ve been crying the last hour and haven’t been able to understand or express this feeling? It’s almost as if I can physically feel it in my chest and mind. I’m not suicidal just getting closer with God and have been feeling this way for a while. Yes I’m in therapy and have hobbies that make me happy I’m just wondering if this a common feeling to have?

I’m not suicidal and I also have a therapist not looking for therapeutic advice just wondering if this is a common feeling to have?

Mold or mildew

Landlord keeps saying this is mildew but it keeps coming back no matter how much I clean and ventilated my bathroom. No exhaust fan only a window and door. I’ve used soap and water, mildew spray, and a strong cleaning vinegar.

Made a bad decision

I was blessed with a job after following God's instructions by cutting off my abusive family and multiple things happened (breaking up with an unequally yoked partner, going to the hospital, and disrupted sleep for more than 2 weeks) and made a rash decision thinking that I heard God. I can't help but to feel frustrated at myself and worried that I ruined God's plan for my life. I now am depending on my family for help again from the place that He saved me from. Is it possible to redeem this? Has God's grace ran out for me? Any scriptures that offer solace? Thanks :') I am currently looking for a new job, have no real emotional support system and feel like I am losing my mind.
