Okay, long story short, My mom got into drugs, but is now one year clean and graduated from recovery. My dad was an alchoholic, and has been clean for 2 years or so. They got a divorce while mom was still using, so they argued and faught alot. I was always used as leverage in both cases, like being in the middle alot. nothing I could do about anything. my parents are still fighting, and i feel like God doesnt want to help me because it keeps happening. Can I get some advice from my fellow believers? I know God loves me, but sometimes its hard to remember.

Have you tried praying about it? Have you gotten your parents into church?

God will bless whatever you give Him for His own glory. If you give up to Him this problem so that it can be dealt with in His way you shall leave with a true blessing from God. Giving up your problems dosn't mean that you don't have to do anything anymore, it just means that you will rely on what God says to do rather than your own understanding of the situatuion. It would be so easy to deal with this problem if you knew what both of your parents were thinking and could have the wisdom to turn that knowledge into the end of the problem. God knows all of our thoughts and He knows why we do what we do. As far as I can see, your parents are living a life style of sin and do not look upon God's wisdom for what they are to do. God will lay conviction were it is needed to be layed. You must be ready to act as an insrument of God's will so that He might work through you to lay upon conviction. To ready yourself for God's will you must grow closer to Him and the best way to do that is to study in His word and pray dilegently. For studying I suggest you read in John, that might just put all of this in perspective.

I agree with Moliverio. give up your worries to God and trust him to do what's best.

Well my parents are also having problems. If they weren't the least bit Christian they would be divorced by now. My mom is going through alot of depression because of comunication problems. I get in trouble alot and i can hurt her when I don't mean to because she takes her maddnes from my dad onto me sometimes. I try to make them go to church, but my dad is the king of exuses. I can feel some sort of your pain. What helped me is talking to my best friend. She is Christian and has really good parents, so she helps me. I also talk to God every night about problems.

My advice to you is to talk to God and I know sometimes you have to talk to someone you can actually see and hear. I can hear God, but sometimes I need someone smaller to help me. He helps me talk to my friend.
