MY SISTER & l HAVE BEEN ESTRANGED SINCE MY MOTHER DIED NEARLY 3 YEARS AGO, BECAUSE OF THE WAY SHE SPOKE ABOUT MY MOTHER AND TREATED ME.
SHE HAS TOLD ME SHE FEELS GUILTY, AND I KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCE SHE THAT SHE GETS ANGRY & LASHES OUT WHEN SHE FEELS GUILTY. I ALSO FEEL GUILTY FOR ALLOWING HER TO BE MY MOTHER’s POWER OF ATTORNEY. I THOUGHT IT WAS IN MY MOTHER’s BEST INTEREST, BUT I DIDN’T REALISE AT THE TIME HOW MUCH RESENTMENT SHE WAS HARBOURING, SO IT DIDN’T WORK OUT THAT WAY FOR ANYONE. WE HAVEN’T SEEN EACH OTHER FOR OVER A YEAR, SINCE WE HAD A HUGE ARGUMENT WHEN DISCUSSING THE HEADSTONE AND SHE SAID SHE DID NOT WANT TO SEE ME ANY MORE AND AFTERWARDS SHE & HER CHILDREN UNFRIENDED ME ON FACEBOOK.
I HAVE REFRAINED FROM TALKING ABOUT HER, I PRAY TO BE ABLE TO FORGIVE HER AND l PRAY FOR HER. HOWEVER I DO NOT WANT TO RESUME A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER AS SHE IS A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE IN MY LIFE. I MERELY WISH TO BE CORDIAL WHEN WE RUN INTO ONE ANOTHER AT FAMILY GATHERINGS.
I WILL HAVE TO SEE HER THIS WEEK AT MY UNCLES FUNERAL. PLEASE PRAY THE ENCOUNTER GOES SMOOTHLY & IS NOT UNCOMFORTABLE FOR EVERYONE CONCERNED. PLEASE ALSO PRAY SHE FINDS SALVATION, AS SHE IS AN ATHIEST AND THE WAY SHE SPOKE ABOUT OUR MOTHER HORRIFIED ME.
THANK YOU, AMEN.
