I wonder if there is any Christian advice out there for me. I am struggling to love and accept my stepchildren (son 15, daughter 12). They are so different from me and they make me really anxious and to be honest embarrassed sometimes. My stepson argues with everything I say or with anything anyone says and my step daughter loves telling any guests we have of my faults. Both are loud and obnoxious a lot and my home has always been quiet. I pray for patience and kindness and for God's love to flow through me. Most of the time I can endure and I try to be encouraging but I am tired.
