Your family history doesn't have to be your future. The generational garbage can stop here and now.

This is Max Locato. Don't give your kids what your ancestors gave to you. Talk to God about it, in detail.

God, every day I came home from school to find mom drunk, lying on the couch. I had to take care of baby brother,

do homework on my own. It's not right, God. Difficult for certain. But let God transform you

into a new person by changing the way you think. Let him replace childish thinking with mature

truth. A dear friend of mine was called to identify the body of his father who had been shot by his ex-wife.

The blast was just another in a long line of angry, violent family moments,

and he made this resolution.

It stops with me, and it has.

God wants to help you, for your sake.

Trust him, with his help, you will get through this.
