We had lived as a family in our pre-mortal life (Sacred doctrine). In the Earth, our parents, brothers, sisters, partners and childrens could have been born in another genetic families. God decides how it will be. But for sure they will meet and live with us, at least, a part important of our lives. For example: That girl who has a best friend who looks like her brother? well, he is her real spiritual brother! Or that stepfather who cares about his stepdaughter? Well, he is her real spiritual father. You just should know that people of your spiritual family will meet you and live with you. It is our fate. You should not think if a child has bad genetic parents they are her true spiritual parents.

It is also inconsistent with statements from modern and past prophets and apostles regarding whether or not we have a “soul mate” as has been mentioned.

This makes me feel pretty bad. I don’t really believe we chose our parents. If so, why do so many abusive adults have children? Why would someone choose to go into an abusive family?

I don’t feel like your answer is consistent with this teaching. But I could be wrong. Do you think I’m missing something?
