I grew up being raised by my grandparents. My mom would come see me but my dad wouldn't have anything to do with me except on certain Holidays. My grandma and I have always been best friends and have had a bond that will never be broken. A few years ago, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. My grandpa put her in a nursing home that doesn't take good care of their residents at all. I feel so helpless because he won't listen to me when I tell him she needs to go somewhere else that will take better care of her. It seems as if what I say doesn't matter. (Either that or he doesn't care much about it). I am not only concerned with the abuse and things they put my grandma through, but I am also concerned with how they treat every other patient there. My cousin has called the Health Department but it seems as if they have everyone fooled. I don't know what to do because I'm not in charge, my grandpa is. My mom was fighting addiction for years but she's getting out of rehab this Tuesday. We've had a hard past but I've learned to forgive her. My dad still continues to not care about me, but acts like a true Christian man. My grandpa lives alone now in filth. I've tried cleaning but he destroys my hard work in a matter of hours. I believe there is something bad in that house he's in, whether I sound crazy to you all or not. He has been abusive towards our family his entire life and has caused much trauma for us all. Seeing others happy or anything to do with God makes him cringe. I've tried helping him but sometimes I feel as if he doesn't want the help. I am heart-broken over my grandma's disease but I believe that everything happens for a reason... I'm at the nursing home with her every day all day. She is my world. Her five kids are never around but still act like they have a part in everything. To top it all off, my boyfriend and I have been having problems. I feel like he doesn't help me with any of these things at all. I would just like some comfort and affection, no matter how needy I may sound. I'm also afraid of people and interacting with people. I want to cope with all of this.

I pray for my dad to realize the way he's treated me and to finally see my worth. I pray for my mom to have a great, full recovery and stay away from bad influences and bad things that may cause chaos. I pray for my grandpa to see his wrongs instead of just his rights, and to see the light. I pray for my grandma to get better and to not be lonely. Please don't let her forget about me. I just want her to know how much I'm here for her, and how much I love her. I pray for my boyfriend to see how much I care and to take my thoughts and feelings into consideration. I also pray for my inner battles to be fought with victory. I pray for happiness within us all.
 
Our God of peace, you have taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and in confidence shall be our strength: By the might of your Spirit answer this request, we pray of you, so we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
 
Hebrews 4:16

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

My wife and I am praying now in Jesus name for your request.
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.

I grew up in a dysfunctional home with a lot of neglect and verbal abuse. I've spent much of my life daydreaming and living in a fantasy world of happiness, with imagined happy relationships. Pray that I can end all limerance in my life, and that I can live in the present with real relationships.
