My 18th years old daughter ### Hii called me and scolded me on the phone for not consulting with her about me planning to release two of our 5 cats to someone else. I wanted to tell her about this plan but later I changed my mind. I know if I consult with her, she won't agree and give me thousands of reasons and in the end I need to continue to bear all the cost and responsibilities all alone again.
I didn't consult with her because all these three years, I'm the only one taking care of these cats. No one in the family wanted to take care of them, not even my 16 years old son and my husband. They only loved playing with them but not taking care of them.
As for ###, she never even once bothered to look at them, not even to feed them, not even to clean them, or taking them to the clinic for either monthly or yearly vaccine.
At first we had 3 cats which I took in and I took care of them well including feeding them daily, cleaning their waste, bringing them for vaccination and nurturing and spraying but later she took in two more and I had to handle everything. She only played with them when she was in a good mood. The responsibility to take care of 5 cats is too much for me compared with just 3 cats because I myself also work.
The worse thing that happened was one of these 5 cats always pooped in the house and I needed to do the cleaning again and again on bed, in stockings box, on carpet, etc., and this cat also loves roaming around our neighbor and this could disturb them.
Another two cats were trained litter box but happened to love roaming around our neighborhood too and many of our neighbors dislike cats and I needed to keep them in a cage to keep them safe afraid they would be poisoned by our neighbors in the future. In the end I kept three of them in a cage.
Human wants freedom and so does an animal. Keeping these three in a cage really breaks my heart. In the end I looked for a new owner who could take good care of them for me and praise God I truly found one!
From 5 cats, I planned to release two adults and keep the rest and because of this issue, my daughter ### Hii called me and scolded me.
As a mother being scolded by a daughter and being ignored by a daughter was truly heartbreaking because usually mother and daughter should be close but as my daughter gets older and older and I started to get more and more white hair and aging, I suddenly feel like my daughter thought she is right all the times and I as her mother were wrong all the times. My daughter only being nice to me whenever she needs cash and whenever she wants me to buy something for her.
To be honest, I didn't know what to do with my daughter anymore. I am very tired and my elderly church member told me that what I can do is pray, be quiet and be still and let God work in His own time and will. She is so far from God's presence as she trusted more into the world, her friends than her family. Besides her boyfriend is a non-Christian, a Buddhist.
Please pray together with me. Thanks. In prayer just call me as ### Hii mom.
