Biblical Answer

The kind of person who lets their family suffer like this is one who has been influenced by the lack of parental love and discipline. This can lead to various forms of sin that assault families and render them dysfunctional. Such a person may struggle with unforgiveness, which can be a major obstacle to healing and restoration. Unforgiveness can cause pain and suffering not only for the individual but also for the rest of the family. The Bible teaches us that we should forgive others as we have been forgiven by God (Matthew 6:14-15). When we choose not to forgive, we can become bitter and resentful, which can lead to depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues.

The kind of person who lets their family suffer may also be someone who is unaware of the importance of prayer in their family relationships. When we cover our family relationships in prayer, we can bring healing and restoration to our families. We can pray for our children to be attracted to God and to grow in their faith. We can pray for our parents to be good role models and to provide a stable and loving home. We can also pray for our extended family members to be a source of support and encouragement. By praying for our families, we can help to prevent the kind of suffering that can come from lack of parental love and discipline.

Ultimately, the kind of person who lets their family suffer is one who is struggling with the consequences of their own choices and behaviors. They may be struggling with addiction, depression, or other mental health issues that are affecting their relationships with their family members. They may be unaware of the harm that their actions are causing to their loved ones. But with the help of prayer, counseling, and support from their local church, they can begin to heal and restore their relationships with their family members. As the Bible says, "Love each other as I have loved you" (John 15:12). We are called to love and care for one another, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable. By choosing to love and forgive one another, we can bring healing and restoration to our families.
