in exodus 20:12 it says,"honor you mother and father"...the fifth commandments from the bible,that i cant obey. yeah,its true.maybe to my father,but to my mother?..oh oh i cant..because after of all she has done.how can i honor my mother if she's not deserving.after my mother gave birth to my youngest brother she abandoned us and she has another guy.from that moment i stopped respect her.i really hate having a broken family,.and until now i don't know the reason why she abandoned us and who did wrong from my parents.. you,if you are on my side how will you handle it?and what will you do?are you doing the same thing?obey the rules?obey what the bible says?

I would like to understand why you feel that way.It's not easy to be in that situation esp. belonging to a broken family.To be abandoned by mother is really a challenging situation but have you tried to talk with your mother why she did that? why do you yield yourself in not being happy and dwell to that feelings of hatred?I guess you deserve to be happy so don't cling to the past.That is past so you have the will to make your life happier and not live with hatred.She's is still your mom whatever you say.I suggest that you need to learn to forgive her.If it's not easy then, you pray for help especially how to forgive and understand her.You pray as well on the right things that you need to do especially how you overcome hatred.I think you're beautiful and a sweet person.So, give yourself a chance to be happy and enjoy being teenage life if you're a teen-ager or a career woman if you're a single young adult.
