CHRISTIAN PARENTS of ESTRANGED ADULT CHILDREN Community Group
Estrangement makes it difficult to talk about with family, friends, neighbors and church members. Christians are NOT immune to broken families. Talk about your experiences with those who know how you feel and get positive support through your Christian faith...."In these last days difficult times will come, for men will be lovers of self...disobedient to parents,...
I just watched the movie The War Room, which led me to this site. It is hard to talk to others, I feel like I've failed as a Mother even though I devoted my life to my children. I have serious health issues and I am at peace with my health. Christ strengthens me each day anew, for after all, in the end, I will be with Him.
My illness, however, seems to be the breaking point of my sons' relationships with my husband and I. One son had marital issues, and stepped away from us a year ago in May. No angry words were spoken, he just stepped away, accusing us of 'accusing' her of an affair…The other, I can't seem to do anything 'right' with his wife. Texting, talking on the phone, I seem to constantly say the wrong thing, so I haven't called for a week for fear it will get worse, but is that creating more of a division? I want to be a God driven, spirit filled, Christian Mother in law, Mom and Nana… I am failing.
I want to make my own war room… I am starting it today, by gathering my Bible, journal, paper, a chair etc. I don't have a spare closet, but I do have a special room. My heart aches for my Grandchildren and chlldren
Is it usually sons? after they marry? Please pray for me… Does anyone have health issues that make the relationships so difficult.

So sorry. I was looking for this post, couldn't find it immediately and so I posted about it in a new discussion. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting about this movie. It really hit home and I have now set up my War Room where I can freely talk to God and depend upon His Will, His Time, His way Again. Thank you

This site will be a blessing to you, we are all in the same pain from very similar experiences. And daughters do this too!

There just is no reason for all this pain. When you do everything possible to raise your EC in a Christian, loving, giving home, how can they turn their backs and forget you exist. I know that I need to keep praying and praying for God's healing and help. I will cry out to the Lord in times of trouble. Thanks to all who are here helping and supporting one another. This is such a blessing

I am feeling better now as the pain has lifted... Not easy coping with constant pain to say the least. It is Mother's Day on the 6th March and it is also my Birthday. That will not be an easy day for me so may I ask you to pray for me as I know it will not be an easy day to get through. I see people buying cards and presents everywhere I turn. Why I ask myself am I in this situation and I feel for everyone on this site. Bless you all.

Holidays seem to be a stumbling block for all of us. Plan ahead and find something to keep you occupied. It only lasts for 24 hrs.....Marked my calendar and know I will be praying for you now, but especially on that day and especially for you.
