Quote from: Robin

our 18 yo disabled daughter who has been a Traditional Catholic is being taken away from us by some of our adult children and a local mental health group. Our daughter was the victim of a police raid on our son..while she was disabled at 16 when this happened she was nowhere near the way she is now. She tried to runaway from home 6 times from1/3/2017 til last week each time being picked up by police and brought to local Behavior Science Unit. She has Toruettes syndrome and has been homeschooled all along as well and done very well. Some of our adult children do not agree with the fact we are Trads and homeschool.
Axes needed to be ground as to how we hurt her and traumatized her...one such exampled was our son who married a divorced protestant woman. He is leading the charge on this. He asked us if she could be a member of the wedding party as a flower girl in the Methodist church we told him no...he has never forgiven us for this...the woman working with our family from the BSU a lapsed Catholic..telling me I was wrong that I traumatized her by doing that. My pastor told me she couln not participate. We are open to suggestions as we are told even telling her no to anything is traumatizing her. We are ready to just say you know what...you raise her. SHe is our youngest ..of 11 chlidren. We are in our 60's. Any suggestions.

So sad...

I am reminded of a quote of Padre Pio that I repeat to myself:

"Pray, hope, and don't worry."

The devil will try everything he can to pull the faithful away from the tradition... Be strong and have courage. Continue to fight the good fight and never budge in your resolve to do all for the greater honor and glory of God.

Please keep us posted!

I will be praying for you both and your daughter...

Hmm... What would I do in such a situation ? :scratchchin:

1. For your daughter's runaway behavior: I'd get my husband and trad relatives and friends to start a 54 Day Holy Rosary Novena for her.

2. For the Toruettes syndrome: I'd enlist the help of a herbalist and approach treatment that way.

3. For your very misguided son and others who attack you: Pray for them too, but don't give an inch. You've done a good job. But, this is part of your test. Hold fast.
