Thanks again Dr Cloud. Been a blessing to me since 1996!

I'm trying to come up with ways to successfully get my abusive squatters to leave my house. I keep bringing it up at Bible Study, seeking advice, and I keep hearing how selfish I'm being and how I just need to die to myself. I'm dying all right, I tell them. This is killing me. Then they pray for my endurance. Are they right? Should I just accept their abuse and continue to support the squatters, who claim to be mature Christian Ministers?

Staying in the word is the only way.
If I were thinking of buying a house, I’d look at property values and future forecasts

It’s great advice, but only works with reasonable people willing to listen to inputs from others. My husband is a complete psycho that any different views/opinions/inputs from what he believes in his head is automatically rejected by ways of immediate and extreme defensiveness, even when you presented in the most peaceful, non-confrontational, and normal of ways. He just gets immediately angry and annoyed that you’re even expressing your thoughts and opinions, period. Anything less than a praise or complete and total agreement to his views is deemed as an “attack, ” and will be fiercely defended with no fail. So yeah, normal, sane people are usually always open to inputs from others and even welcome them, but my literal mad dog of a husband isn’t part of the normal human race. There’s no possibility of even having a normal, everyday conversation with the psycho, no matter how nice, gentle, respectful, and/or reasonable you are. The Mad Dog just doesn’t wanna hear anything from anyone!

Ya Royal Purple, the Bible even says not to offer advice or feedback to a fool. And Jesus says not to cast your pearls before swine, cuz they'll just stomp on them and then tear you to pieces. This advice may do you more good than it could ever do him.
