I have been praying many hours these past few weeks, and it is helping me.
I will do anything and everything I can to get my family back because I don’t want to lose them. What can I do to get them back?A good first step would be for you to gain some insight about what triggers you to act out violently. Was physical abuse an example that was set by your parents?

This will have to be HER decision.I’m friends with three people who got into a series of arguments. One of them no longer talks to the other two. I have remained friends with all three and I told them I want to remain neutral.
I didn’t see the fights and I’m not condoning anyone’s behavior. The one friend has now stopped being friends with me. I would like to be friends with everyone. Is this person right about me condoning the other two’s actions by remaining silent and continuing my friendship with them?No, they are not. What they are doing is trying to manipulate you. Repeat what you told them, and tell them that if they can’t accept that you want to remain neutral, they will have lost another friend.
