Good evening friends I went a few days because we were celebrating. Some may know that we Orthodox have baptismal glory. So we were celebrating and my aunt and brother were coming along with the kids and the girl. I spent time with Helen and my aunt. My brother is gone now, and we left before we left. I'm very tired of ugly words and insults. Did you have any good days?

Also we Catholics celebrate the Patron Saint. I am glad you have spent some time with Helen, your brother is a bad person.

@Nevena83 I am glad that at least you were far from your brother and your father, they are both mean men.

I enjoyed with Helen as always and since we had warm weather all day we were out and away from my father and my brother, but I honestly feel angry, sad, disappointed, helpless….

It was just minutes before departure when I had a confrontation with a drunken father and he got involved. Mentally, I can't stand the pressure anymore.

@DianneN I try, but it's so hard. I often feel terrible anger ... I'm afraid my psyche won't be able to last long.

I believe you can understand me, but it's so hard. I'm too tired of so many insults that last for years. I feel like my psyche can't handle it anymore.

I do not understand your baptismal glory perhaps you can explain it in more detail? If I were you I would completely ignore your brother and have nothing more to do with him,. Don't let him hurt you as he has done in the past. He is the one who has the problem not you!

@Nevena83 NO you must oust them from your life. They have made you feel this way through no fault of your own except they are related to you. Do you also celebrate all saints day on 1st November?

@garymarsh6 It is difficult. I lost my self-esteem, sometimes I think it's just a problem in me ... No, we don't celebrate then. Baptismal glory is celebrated every year on a specific date, depending on the family. My family celebrates St. Michael's Day.

Glory, also known as the baptismal name, baptismal glory, holy, is a Serbian folk-church custom, and after Easter and Christmas, the third most important family holiday, always associated with the day of a particular Christian saint. It is so characteristic of Serbs that it is a sign of their recognition and identification. My brother and my father feed on my pain, but I really can't stand it anymore. I'm too tired of everything and often all I want to do is die.

Honestly, I love that my aunt and Helena were here, because they alleviated the whole situation a bit, but for me, there is no joy in this house.
