My sister is here in PA from Utah with her husband. We have been estranged for years and she avoids me. I have chosen to stay away from my mother and father's home (where my son is) to avoid an altercation and possible psychiatric commitment.
I repented. I realized I needed to. Of old , inadvertent wrongs against her, I was just a child myself. But the attitudes carried into adulthood. She is much younger. I couldn't handle her becoming a young woman.
When I first became ill she was just 13 and finally she turned on me and it went from bad to worse. I have repented. I pray that she is led to do so also as I have suffered grevious wrongs which my mother denies/defends/says are all in my head. I believe my mother is repentant. I believe my father was a good man who turned bad and he can and will turn toward the righteous path again.
My brother resides in Hawaii and avoided making the trip East this year. Bad history there.
For healing, and I would like to offer a prayer to St. Jude for my sister's change in lifestyle,
she quit her job as a hotel manager to go back to school for science, and I think she is lost and desperate, she would never admit that, my parents don't know how to handle anything. For guidance for them.
Prayers needed for all our interactions on this most Holy Day.
God bless, and a happy Christmas to all.
(We talked on the phone just now--Claire and I--it's a step).:)
