I ask for healing and restoration in the relationships with my oldest and youngest child. I am not quite sure what has shifted in them but we no longer speak and I no longer get to engage with my grandchildren even though I fostered my daughter’s son for over a year.
I cannot describe the hurt or feelings of betrayal. I’m struggling with what to do next.
I was very close to my oldest son and then it all changed when he and his girlfriend had a child . She is not a good person.
My daughter is also with a person who ultimately isn’t good either.
Though I’m not blaming the shift solely on their partners, I believe it lies deeply in their new narratives of what these people convey to them .
Whatever prayers can be prayed for these situations , I ask for.
I never imagined life would mean losing two of my 3 children. And now 4 grandchildren .
I’m not a horrible mother . I’ve made mistakes in the way of emotions but I’ve been good to my kids
Thank you for sharing this. It’s clear how deeply you’re hurting, and I’m so sorry you’re walking through this with your children and grandchildren. I want you to hear this: distance and silence do not erase the years you loved, raised, and cared for them. You are not a horrible mother because this is happening.
Here is a prayer for you:
Lord, You see this mother’s broken heart. Please heal and restore what is broken between her and her oldest and youngest child. Soften hearts, clear away lies and confusion, and protect the grandchildren. Show her any small steps she can take, and carry the rest in Your hands. You are close to the brokenhearted, be close to her now. Amen.
Keep holding on to this: God has not finished writing your family’s story. Even if you can’t see the way back right now, He can.
