- I instinctively knew it .. two weeks ago .. that an acquaintance of over a year was not my friend. I prepared myself to express what was bothering me. Her response was as I dreaded. I could not just listen on and on .. when there was no change. ...
- I'm searching for a group to attend .. to strengthen myself .. and others .. So when the next storm hits, I won't be blown to smithereens. Tried a group last night. Felt smothered. Pressured. Too much .. too soon.I long to love and be loved. ...
- I practiced letting go of my fear to the Great I Am .. and this morning, had such uplifting news from my daughter .. who I feared was being influenced by my sister. Who is my tormenter .. whether intentional or not.Here's a song to treasure.. ...
- That's how I feel. And it's familiar .. this obsessive .. nagging fear. Even though it's written "Perfect love casts out fear... for fear has torment." My sister has cut off communication with me; refuses to say why. Her beliefs are opposite...
- Isn't that what we all want? I call myself "beloved faith" ... because my name is Cheryl (which means beloved) .. and my middle name is Faith. And because I have such a yearning to be cherished. And because He spoke to me when I was as broken as...
- Because I've endured estrangement .. a safety net is crucial for my survival. I've also endured profound twisting of the scriptures, from childhood .. the Lord being barely recognizable .. if not all. Thank God .. that He revealed Himself to those...
- I am estranged from older sister (one year). Our parents and younger sister died decades ago. Our family went into the ministry to hide; they never outgrew their deception; became mentally ill. It was nearly impossible for me to survive it. My...
- I love the old song.. "We've come this far by faith, leaning on the Lord. Trusting in His holy Word.. He's never failed us yet."I was estranged from my daughters 2 years ago following the return of their father into their lives. His legacy is one...
- My sister and I share a fractured legacy; we had childish parents who hid behind their pain in the ministry; resulting in grotesque mental illness. We had not seen each other in decades; since our parents and other sister died one after the other....
- I'm frustrated. I have a longing to be part of a group of Christians .. "sisters" to go through life with. I thought I found it with a group from my church but .. we are asked to serve others .. out there .. but we don't care for one another's...
- My sister and I had not seen each other for over 20 years; following the deaths of our parents and younger sister .. one after the other .. same year .. until last year. Our family was very troubled and never recovered. Ironically, our parents...
- My youngest daughter and her husband and young sons may be moving next year to Ohio. He has a big family .. We don't. There's just me .. and my oldest daughter and her family. My grandsons would grow up with lots more back there. Lots more...
- What to do? Raising my own daughters on a string that often was frayed, I am super sensitive when they're hurting as moms. My youngest just asked me to take tomorrow off to babysit her 2 young sons while she does her job as her usual babysitter is...
- We celebrated my ED's birthday yesterday. ED no more. Our relationship is restored .. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. My daughters, their husband, my 3 grandchildren .. a good spirit .. between us. And fun!I gave my daughter the pillow I...
- My daughters came up a couple weeks ago to talk things out. I just listened intently. Turns out, about 3 years ago, my ED and I both started believing half truths about each other .. and it snowballed. Sure was baffling. When she told me she had...
