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,...
Well, I havn't posted here in so long but things are really going south for me lately. I don't know if you all know but I've been having health problems since 2004 and 2 years ago was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and then 2 weeks ago Raynauds syndrome. Both are extremely painful...anyway just found out about 2 months ago that my daughter is engaged. She called to tell me and we've been having some communication over the last year. Now she tells me they want to get married in Hawaii. I said, I don't have the money to go to Hawaii. She said nothing. I have been so upset about this, giving it to God but I am so mad. She lives in Texas. I called her Dad and he agrees that it's very important for him to walk her down the aisle and me be there and he said he would talk to them. I am just fighting depression big time. All I can think about is that I wish God would just take me home. I'm sick of fighting sickness, depression, my daughter..I'm so tired of all of it. I feel completely alone, unloved, and don't even know what I'm doing anymore. Please keep me in your prayers. Thank you.
or forsakes you. That is a PROMISE!!!!! You need to seek him out. He IS there!!! I understand how you are feeling and how the pain of your heartache can overwhelm you. I also understand your health issues. I sent you a personal message regarding that. I was deathly ill 5 years ago and in the same boat you are now.
I no longer am in ANY pain whatsoever. I am not on any medications either. My story is an AMAZING testimony of what the Lord can do when you trust in him and let him led you to your answers.
There are many wonderful people on this site who care and who pray for each other. I am so glad
that you remembered we are here. It is wonderful that you have a speaking relationship with your
daughter. That is such a praise! Always remember the Lord dearly loves and cares about YOU.
Genesis 28:15a And, behold I am with you, and will keep (watch over you with care, and take notice of)
you wherever you may go,
Hebrews 12:5 for He (God) Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support, I will not, I will not, I will not in any way leave you helpless, nor forsake you, let you down ,
or relax my hold on you. Assuredly not!
I Peter 5:7 Casting the whole of your care--all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all--on Him; for He cares for you affectionately, and cares about you watchfully.
Big Hugs and prayers going out for you this day!!
Miss Peggy
My heart aches for you. I am so sorry for all your emotional and physical pain. You have helped many of us. You are definitely in my prayers. Have you seen a doctor or anyone for depression. There are some very.good treatments available. May your daughter's eyes be open as well as her heart. Don't the couple pay expenses tor their parents for a destination wedding. Hopefully her Dad can help. Hugs
