[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does any other Christian - or hell, anyone - really struggle with this?

Because I do, and I need help.  I'm in counseling and we've talked about it a little, but I can't come to any kind of firm conclusion.  All my life I've been different.  I've been bullied.  Still am, a lot.  I don't get a kind word from anyone.  Yet Christ expects us to love those people - it's so hard.

Anyone?[/quote]It's hard to love other people if you haven't been able to set limits with them.  It's much easier to love other people from a position of strength.  My relationship with my mother got a lot better when I told her that I didn't want to hear about how terrible my father was anymore and when I decided how long I wanted to visit her rather than letting her decide that.  When I felt that she had less control over my and my emotions (it took a lot of work too), it was so much easier to be gracious to her because my sense of self was not on the line anymore.  Good luck, OP, I hope things get better![/quote]
