Paradise Café Discussions A Place For Bible Research And Christian Encouragement

I am sorry to impose on you, but I am feeling very helpless right now and I know that prayer is probably the only answer. Some of you may recall my youngest daughter who seems to go through one trial after another. She was into prostitution through her late teens early twenties pimped by the father of her baby that she had at 14. She finally straightened her life out and got away from him and married someone 3 years ago just after she accidentally struck and killed a pedestrian one morning on the way to work. (That was also a major trauma for her!! She served 30 days in a pre-release center.)

She and her husband moved to NC to work for his father's business. Her husband subsequently totalled her car leaving her dependent on him to get her to her job. She eventually had to quit her father-in-law's business because they knew of her past and were continuously condemning and persecuting her for it. She tried leaving her husband and going back to MD for a while and lived with my next oldest daughter - her sister. That didn't work very well...the next older daughter is a single parent with 3 children and has problems of her own. So she went back to her husband in NC, got a pretty good job - that she still needs a ride to - and is now being severely emotionally abused by her husband. As little as I can get out of her I suspect he is sleeping around right under her nose and telling her if she doesn't like it, then just get out. Thing is she isn't going to hitchhike up the road with a 12 year old in tow and no where to go. She doesn't want to come here because she does not serve Jehovah and believes moving to Orlando - where she's never been - to stay with some girl she met on the internet is her answer. She is also saying she does not want responsibility for her son anymore and the 12 yo hears all this and the crying going on. He's suspended from school for at least the second time (first was for threatening a teacher) and has been in jail overnight for threatening a boy's parents on the phone. In other words he's probably blaming himself for all the chaos and thinks his mom doesn't love him anymore. His biological father is currently in jail in MD.

This family is in chaos and I can't do a thing. All I have to share is my concern and advice. I've told her that if she has no one that she believes can help her, Jehovah can. All she has to do is behave in a way he approves and pray.

Meanwhile, if anyone would like to say prayers for this beautiful, intelligent 27 yo mom of a 12 yo with no place to go, please do. She is bipolar like me and can't afford meds right now. That's probably just making everything worse for her.

Thanks and love, Heather

She says she has no access to any of these...I think she's in a very "rural" kinda place. She says the closest railway is Rocky Mount and the closest airport is Raleigh. She lives in a place called Aulander. From what I understand even the closest KH is 20some miles away. I called and asked an elder to have someone visit back in mid March, but no one ever went.

I shared with her a time when my husband was having an affair and leaving home for weekends when I was pregnant with my son. I called the police and asked them to commit me to a mental hospital because I felt so at the end of my rope. They had to put my daughter in foster care. My husband, of course, didn't even know I was gone until he decided to return home. As I recall, that was the pregnancy I had to be treated for gonorrhea. I think my daughter knows how much I sympathize with her situation, but I am helpless to do anything for her.

Thank you, Iso, for your prayers!!

To Jammin4,

The most powerful way to go is prayer to our Almighty God Jehovah - anything less is futile.

Prayers and thoughts to you for you to cope daily, may you find encouragement, and for your daughter and your grandchild, the way to a reconciliation.

New Truth, the decision was hers for that reason...not mine.

Hey Heather!!


Hows it going, my friend?


Sister Heather -- I realise this may be about your daughter -- but fundamentally, I also feel this is about you too, as I am sure you are taking this on board (the emotional, mental and spiritual toll).

My only advice for you, is to FORGIVE YOURSELF!!

If you havent dont so, already -- you are the one who can start a shift in the energy that is acting like an undercurrent in your family -- it is often called "Morphic Resonance" or "Morphic Field".

Please, Sister Heather -- FORGIVE YOURSELF!!

Its one of the most powerful forces in the Universe! Be strong!







May LOVE be with you!

your bro -- beau!

Thanks for prayers everyone. She's "mellowed" and waiting for the right time to leave..probably during the summer when her son is through with school.

DP...thanks for comments, but you should know me well enough by now to know that that advice falls on hopeless and very guilty ears and heart. My evilness will result in death.

Absolutely beautiful pic by the way...

Hi sis:

You know my prayers are with you and your family and believe me I know how powerful it really is! I was ready to die rather than face losing a leg, but Jah and Jesus let me know They were not done with me yet! It's a wonderful gift that we have, unlike the majority of mankind with no "helper", so pleeze use it, it WORKS!!!

Throw all those burdens away, cause we have the bestest help in the Universe!!!

Much Christian Love and Prayers to Endure
sis

Hello llee Nice to have you with us. It's been a long time! Hope you will be popping in more often.
Christian love to you,
Grateful

Jammin4;

Just know that you and your family are and will always be in my thoughts and prayers. Even when we do not know what to do, Jehovah knows. Continue praying to him and have faith and trust in him. Just know your prayers will be answered maybe not exactly at the time you want but he will answer your prayers. Hold on tight, dear friend. You have wonderful and loving brothers and sisters here and we will continue to keep our arms around you no matter where we are.

Agape,
Sister LoveJehovah

It is so nice to hear from all of you!! Dear Loretta, how wonderful to have you back too!!

My youngest daughter is presently continuing to "endure"...I suspect that, with her untreated bipolar disorder, some days are just much harder then others. I PRAY that somehow she'll discover that Jehovah and his ways are her one true and permanent answer.

Love to all...
