Narthon
Disciple of Prayer
My mother and I are having issues getting along when it comes to me raising my child. She is a widow and I am a single parent and we all live in the house together. This morning we had a disagreement over something that has turned in to an all day ordeal. I tried to talk to my mother about boundaries and that she crossed the line. I was told that this is how the new generation is that we don't have any respect for the older people, etc. I told her that I have never said I didn't have respect for her and that I do appreciate her. The fact was she had overstepped her bounds. In the midst of the disagreement I did say some things that I should have , like I asked her died she want me to move and she said no, however I have apologized several times. She has said nothing except sent me a text saying that I said hurtful words and they will hurt awhile. We constantly get in to it when it comes to my child. And then she threw it in my face that she didn't even feel like a grandparent now after the way I acted. I told her we have to do something because I am the parent and this is not working. I just need prayer to deal with her and for her to see that I am the parent and am the one to make the rules and all decisions.
