Question
Okay - I took your advice because I feel like it was good advice. However, it didn't end with "sunshine and roses". When I asked about what I could do to make things right, she said that it was a bigger issue. I figured it was, but now I don't know what to do with the bigger issue. God helped me to talk softly, ask questions, and show a humble spirit (at least in my mind - not sure she would say that). She basically said that I demanded respect but it was a two-way street and that I did not respect her when she disagreed with my opinion on money, spiritual things, etc. I fear that she may be right, but I do not know how to change how I feel about things that we disagree on. We do not have a lot of discussions on these "issues", but she said that she knows me well enough to know how I feel without me saying anything. I asked her what I could do specifically to correct it and she said that until my mindset was changed, there wasn't anything specific that I could do. I thanked her for being willing to tell me and told her that I would make it a matter of prayer. I ended it by telling her that I loved her and wanted to be all that I should be for her and the rest of the family. I asked her if I could give her a hug and she reluctantly said "I guess" - I gave her a hug with no response and left the room. Is there anything that I can do besides pray for her and that God will change me?
