Bomor
Disciple of Prayer
I do have a prayer request but I have a question. My mom she has done her best to raise me and my siblings. She doesn’t curse, drink, smoke goes to church nearly everyday and always on the prayer line and praying for other and no matter the conversation she always praising the lord. But she bothers me it seems like everyone she around she bothers or irritates them. She is always negative and always have to say something negative and somehow she thinks it’s ok because she goes to church several days a week and alway praying but yet everyone around her is miserable. If your happy then the devil got u happy if my bf has a drink home he’s a devil but both my siblings are functioning alcoholic and she says nothing to them but criticize everyone else if they drink. I guess I’m asking could she be evil whenever she’s around the energy feels different I feel agitated, I’m no saint I can’t tell u the last I been to church but she makes every one feel this way. If she isn’t picking arguments with my young nieces she picking arguments with my children if she ain’t picking argument with them then she picking arguments with me. Everything is evil to her if I watch ID channel according to her I’m the devil, I like horror movies so according to her I’m evil , if I buy anything black I’m evil . I don’t understand how someone could be so holy go to church everyday and try to be a saint but be so negative and troublesome. I really don’t understand it, I love her but I guess I don’t like her and I don’t want to feel that way but it’s hard to be around someone who feels like they suck the air out of you. And it’s not just me that feels this way I have other siblings and they can’t tolerate her either and the grandkids all feel the same way. I don’t want to blame religion but I just feel like ppl like her make religion seem bad. She was 1 of the reasons I lost my relationship with god I’m sorry to admit that out loud but she has said things in the past and adding god to it and it just angered me so much at that time that I didn’t like god. I no longer feel that way and love the lord 100 %. But I don’t want her or anyone to take me back down that dark place it took me so long to get out of that dark place. Example my brother was murdered at 22yrs old and years later our father her husband unexpectedly died and I was so lost and heartbroken. And we were looking for a plot at the cemetery to bury my father and of course we wanted him buried near my brother and the cemetery attendant didn’t think he had anything near my bother and then he said let me check and said I think I have a plot near your brother. And she goes praise god and start calling ppl saying oh they might have a plot near her son ain’t god good and praise god and I just couldn’t understand how she could say those things like were looking for houses next to each other. I get it we shouldn’t me mad at god and curse him but I couldn’t understand how she thought this was a good time to praise god while looking for a funeral plot for my dad, I just felt like she thought this was a happy joyful moment when it wasn’t. It always incidents like that , that bothers me. 2yrs ago my ex husband out of the blue broke into my house and tried to murder me I woke up to him strangling me and beating me with a tire iron, several hours later she wanted telling me to forgive him and asking everyone in my home to hold hands and pray for my ex husband,and I don’t get it at all! My ex nearly murdered me and her answer hours after I was nearly murdered is forgive him and everyone let’s pray for him !! I know as a Christian I’m suppose to forgive but when the time comes I will and at that moment and today I don’t forgive him and I feel like no one can tell me how to handle my trauma!
