I want to know how to deal with my parents, especially my mother who has stopped talking to me for over a month because of some secrets my older sister found out about her and confronted her about it. I live with both parents and two sisters. I also have two other sisters who are living on their own. The sister who confronted my mother is my eldest. I am very uncomfortable at home. I am a Christian and I am 21 and I love the Lord. I am trying my best to live according to God's will.

I need your advice. I need to know how to deal with my mother. She doesn't support me or anything but that is not the issue. I just want to be at peace with her. I will be going to university shortly.

Dear T.G.,

Even if your mother is not speaking to you, make sure that you do not do anything to upset her. Be respectful at all times. Perhaps she is angry with everybody because she feels that your sister had no right to speak to her about what she knows. Pray for your mother. I am sure that everything will work out right.
