Prayers, Having to disassociate from own mother
« on: June 11, 2021, 09:53:12 AM »
Please pray for my mother and I.  I've had to tell her that because she has made a number of decisions over the past several years, that her decisions have made it difficult for me to be able to have much contact with her.  She is not someone who can understand why.  I explained because she had the chance to become Catholic but blew it, now living in an adulterous relationship, I can't go over to her house, not even for celebrations.  And that I avoid meals with her because I can't pray with her because she is a heretic (I know, it sucks having to tell your own mother she's a heretic).  And because she has the vax, I need to avoid her until answers are established for the problem of shedding.

What kills me is that none of this is something she is able to understand.

Thank you.

Have you discussed this with a good Priest before you made these decisions? If not, please do.

You are not alone in being someone who has to separate themselves from loved ones.  In fact, I doubt there are many on this forum who have not had to do so.
The important thing is to keep loving your mother and pray for her.  Of course you cannot condone her adulturous relationship and separate yourself.  In the meantime deepen your own faith and prayer-life 'til God opens gives you His peace.  He surely will!

Yes.  I'm told that I do need to limit my interactions, and that going over to her home can be seen as condoning, and can have the effect of eventually normalizing her situation for me.  But that I also need to find ways of still being a part of her life.
