Family Feuds

Why do families Fight? This past week I witnessed a family a respectable family in the midst of the worst family feud I have ever seen.  It was a local preacher and his kids. The Sister who is my age was fighting with her mother and father and Brother. It start many months ago and made the daughter leave the church that her and her family attended. Her kids and hubby and mother in law all left. I don’t really know what started it all but I have to ask my self this question? Is it really that serious? It escalated at the beginning of last week. So bad the daughter confronted the mother at their work place.(They happen to work at the same place) They both left work and the daughter went home and got a gun and pulled it on her father. What would make a daughter do this?  What could a dad that was so bad that the daughter would pull a gun on her father and threaten to kill him then herself? I can think of only one thing that would make me do that? If my children where getting hurt. And I just don't see this with this man of God.

       So fast forward to today. Today started out like every Sunday morning.  WE got dressed Wayne cooked a lovely breakfast and we went to church. Had a wonderful service. But before church started, My niece who is 18 years old was helping sing on the stage had a skirt on that came mid thigh… A good 3 inches or more above the knee and then had a split up the but too were you could see her BUTT . I was appalled. My husband has to stand behind her and play his guitar. So I mentioned it to my pastors wife(WHO HAPPENS TO BE MY MOM) she didn't know what to do . I figured she would say something to her .I mean it is her place.

Some how my brother who is raising this girl(she is my brothers wife STEP SISTER) (NO RELATION)  heard about my conversation to my mom and he exploded on me at my parents house after church. He just wouldn't stop. He was so mad that i said something about the girls skirt to mom.  He tore into me so bad . I had enough and told him that i didn't appreciate her wearing that on the platform in front of my husband to show her butt off.  YOu could see her ASS. it was very very inappropriate.

    I am  giving the watered down version here. MY brother kept on and kept on. ALL the time mom was looking at me telling me to shut up!!!! My brother was the one talking. Except for my one blurt about her butt showing. over and over again her went in his rant. Finally Wayne jumped up and told Isaac to shut up and we would just go home. I was in tears mom was in tears over her Easter Dinner being ruined. I cam home and balled my eyes out .till my sister came up and brought us lunch and let me cry on her shoulder. She could not believe our brother acted the way he did to me. But the sad thing is this is not the first time he has done this to me. If something at church goes wrong he usually blames me . HE is the music director and i do the over head( well I quit today lol)  if anything goes wrong from the sound system to the lighting in the church it is my fault and I get the brunt of it.

   So yeah today I could understand how a sisted could get a gun and kill her brother lol. Just as a daughter could get a gun and kill her dad. In the heat of the moment we could all do things we never thought we would.  No I didn't get a gun i didn't threaten but i can understand a woman pmsing and getting treated like this as I was am am pmsing and wanting to get a gun and kill the person doing the offending. lol CAN I GET AN AMEN?
