My father who left us 6 years ago to move to Thailand now wants my mother and I to live with him. He's excitecd and wants us to go over there.
The only problem is that he lives with my brothers who used to smack me. I just know that if I go over there they will start again.
Please pray. I don't know what to do. I'm 18 and my father wants me to live with him again. I don't want to disapoint him.

I'm excited for you smile I'll pray. Also, don't be afraid to call your brothers out on their behavior if that's what they end up doing; point out, "hey, you're my brothers; you're supposed to protect me, not hurt me" or just express that you don't appreciate it when they do that to you, since you're both adults now, they might respect that (I'm assuming they're older than you). Also, don't say it jokingly, be serious. Maybe they've matured in these 6 years, so don't be pessimistic about the situation. Question: amongst these brothers, does it also include the one who blocked you on facebook? Whether he is or isn't, it's another opportunity to live out a Christ-like example amongst them and be a good example to everyone there.

On another note: sounds to me like our Heavenly Father is answering your prayers with respect to your living situation. Mother and Father head of the household again, less responsibilities on both your shoulders and the shoulders of the sibling you were depending on to house you and your mom. Also, I hear the healthcare is really good over there.

Thank you. I just worry about getting hurt again.
It does include my brother who blocked me.
I know that there is a good chance they will start abusing me again.
When my brother was here last month he got voilent and my other brother has also been grabbing my arm, saying he'll hit me last week. He's 24 and I am almost 18. I would like living there but I am afraid I will get abused again.

I'm real sorry to hear all that. confused
I'd recommend having a talk about this with your mother before you guys do anything so that your mother is aware of this and maybe talk about it with your father, too. Try and reason with your brothers, or call them out on what they're doing like real eyes realize said.

I'll be praying and hope it will be a nice experience for you. smile

Little Sister I will definitely pray for you. Dear Lord, please give my sister guidance. Please place your hedge of protection around her and keep her safe throughout all travels in life. I also ask that her brothers will feel your touch and be loving instead of hurtful. Please bless her and all of her loved ones. In Jesus name we pray. Amen Peace

Well said!

You can even be the light that God used to lead your family to be more devoted to God.

Jeremiah 29:11
New International Version (NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.[/]

In everything, always pray and ask for God's guidance so that this step to re-unite with your family is according to His will. Do not act on your own smile
