Is feeling calm in a bad situation a good thing?

About a couple of weeks ago the transmission in the truck I was driving broke on me when I was coming home from work one night. Because of that I was stuck without a vehicle to get to and from work. Family was telling me to quit my jobs and work in town. First of all I worked very hard to get my jobs and second no one is hiring in town or can give me full time hours. I have already lost one of my jobs. My fiance doesn't like how my family treats me especially while I am going through this situation. My dad has been controlling all my life and since my little sister was born I have been stuck in her shadow. I was supposed to get a car and because I didn't act how they wanted me to I am not allowed to drive it. My dad also said I was getting help whether I wanted it or not. I am told I have done nothing wrong, but my family feels that I am not acting appropriately. Through out this very stressful time there are moments when I feel totally calm like it will work itself out or maybe its just that I don't care anymore? I would like insight from people who are going through the same thing or any bad situation that feel this way.

" many people cant understand why im so layed back, but im optimistic and know that being calm is better for thinking your way through troubles. Im sure you do care but others may not be able to understand because they may get stressed out when in trouble (its horses for courses!) calmness leads to better decisions and unclogged thought!
define acting appropriatly! quite why do you need help? about time you got out from under your families shadow full stop, you are an adult at 22 DO NOT be railroaded by anyone, i say again, you are an adult now, so carve your own way in the world, right now!

" The calm you feel in the midst of trouble is the presence of the Holy Spirit that our Lord sent to us when He rose into Heaven. Our Comforter is with us in the middle of a crisis to keep us able to handle situations that are beyond our control anyway. It is all in the Bible and when depressed it can bring help. The purity of your being and how you live your life makes you a child of God. You are either with Him or against Him there are no gray areas as some believe. Accept His help and comfort. "
